Our Sydney Hot Water Installation Services
Tankless Hot Water Installation
Tankless hot water installations are becoming more popular due to their energy efficiency. Tankless heaters only heat water when it is needed, so there is no wasted energy. They are also small and can be installed in a variety of locations. The downside to tankless heaters is that they can have a higher initial cost than traditional tank-style heaters.
Gas Hot Water Installation
Gas hot water systems are a great way to have hot water on demand, and they’re usually more energy-efficient than electric systems. However, gas systems do require some maintenance, and they’re not suitable for every home. If you don’t have a gas line running to your home, then you’ll need to have one installed. Gas hot water systems are available as instant-on-demand hot water or a tank-style hot water system. If your gas hot water system isn’t working, our Hero Plumbers can install a new one for you today!
Instant Hot Water Installation
One of the biggest benefits of instant hot water systems is that you’ll never have to wait for hot water again. Whether you’re taking a shower, doing the dishes, or doing laundry, you’ll always have hot water instantly. This can save you a lot of time, especially if you have a large family.
Electric Hot Water Installation
Electric hot water installations are the most common type of hot water installation, as they are typically the most affordable. Electric heaters are very efficient and can be used in a variety of locations.
Solar Hot Water Installation
Solar hot water installations are gaining popularity, as they can save homeowners money on their energy bills. Solar heaters use the sun’s energy to heat water, so they are very efficient. The downside to solar heaters is that they can be expensive to install and maintain.
Heat Pump Hot Water Installation
Heat pump hot water systems are becoming increasingly popular in Australia, due to their high efficiency and low running costs. Heat pump hot water systems work by extracting heat from the air and transferring it to the water. This means that they are extremely efficient, as they don’t need to generate their heat. Instead, they simply use the heat that is already present in the air.

| Gas Storage | $1,200 – $2,000 | $400 – $800 | Moderate | 10–12 years | Families with natural gas access and moderate usage |
| Gas Instantaneous | $1,500 – $3,000 | $300 – $700 | High | 15–20 years | Medium to large homes needing continuous hot water |
| Solar Hot Water | $3,000 – $7,000 | $100 – $400 | Very High | 15–20 years | Eco-conscious households wanting long-term savings |
| Heat Pump | $2,500 – $4,500 | $200 – $500 | High | 10–15 years | Energy-efficient homes or upgrades from electric systems |
Hot Water Brands We Supply & Install
If you are in the market for a new hot water system, you may be wondering which brand to choose. There are many different brands on the market, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Hero Plumbing supplies and installs some of the most popular hot water system brands to help you make an informed decision.
We only work with trusted, Australian-approved hot water brands known for performance and longevity:
Rheem Hot Water Installation
Rheem systems are popular across Sydney for their reliability and variety. Our plumbers install Rheem storage tanks, gas continuous flow units, and solar models with precision and care. Each installation includes correct valve fittings, pressure testing, and compliance certification. We also set temperature controls and ensure proper flueing and insulation for maximum efficiency.
Rinnai Hot Water Installation
Rinnai’s continuous flow systems require accurate gas connection and water pressure calibration. Our team handles all of that during installation. We mount the unit securely, run gas and water lines to spec, test ignition and flow rate, and confirm consistent hot water delivery throughout your home. Once installed, we show you how to operate and adjust temperature controls safely.
Dux Hot Water Installation
Dux systems are designed for Australian conditions, and we install both their gas and electric ranges. During installation, we assess your property layout, position the tank or unit for optimal efficiency, and connect it to meet NSW plumbing and electrical codes. We also handle any upgrades needed to accommodate new Dux models replacing older systems.
Thermann Hot Water Installation
Thermann systems are straightforward to install when done by a qualified plumber. We ensure correct positioning, secure all water and gas connections, install tempering valves, and complete a full function test. If replacing an old system, we remove it safely and install the new Thermann setup with proper drainage and venting in place.
Aquamax Hot Water Installation
Aquamax storage systems feature stainless steel tanks that require stable and level bases. We prepare the installation area, set up the system securely, and connect all water lines and valves with pressure checks. After installation, we test the thermostat and confirm the tank is heating correctly and safely before final handover.
Vulcan Hot Water Installation
Vulcan systems are efficient and durable, but like all gas or electric units, they require careful installation. We handle all aspects, including plumbing connections, pressure relief valves, gas safety checks, and electrical isolation. Each installation includes testing for leaks and ensuring all valves function as intended.
