Gas hot water systems use gas to heat water quickly and deliver it to the taps, showers and appliances around your property. Depending on the type of system, the water can either be heated and stored in a tank or heated as you use it. The right option for your Sydney home depends on factors such as household size, hot water demand, available space and your existing plumbing and gas connections.
We look at how your household uses hot water, how many people live in the property, the number of bathrooms and outlets, available installation space and your existing gas and plumbing setup.
A gas storage system can be a good choice for households that use hot water across several outlets throughout the day. When recommending a storage system, we consider the tank size carefully. A tank that is too small may struggle during busy periods, while a larger system than you need can take up unnecessary space.
If you prefer a compact system that heats water as you use it, a gas continuous flow system may be worth considering. There is no large storage tank, and the unit heats incoming water when a hot water tap or shower is turned on. Our plumbers can assess your existing setup and help determine if continuous flow is a suitable option for your property.
Already have solar or considering a solar hot water system? A gas-boosted solar setup combines solar water heating with gas support when additional heating is needed. This can be an option for Sydney households looking to make greater use of solar energy while keeping a gas booster available for periods when solar heating isn't enough.
Every property is different, so we don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our licensed plumbers can assess your current hot water system, discuss your household's needs and explain the available gas hot water options before recommending a solution.

If you have a water heater leaking from the bottom of your hot water heater, then it needs to be replaced. If the tank itself is severely corroded or damaged, replacement may be the best option to prevent further leaks and water damage.
First, turn off the power or gas supply to the heater and shut off the water supply. Then, check the source of the leak. If it's coming from a valve or fitting, you may be able to tighten or replace it yourself. However, if the tank itself is leaking, it's best to contact a professional plumber to evaluate the situation and recommend the appropriate repairs or replacement.
Solar hot water systems tend to be among the most economical options over the long term, as they rely on free energy from the sun to heat water. If you’re after solar hot water heaters, we service and install all types.
