WHAT'S INCLUDED

What a hot water system replacement covers

Whatever brought you here, we handle the job start to finish: the old unit disconnected and removed, the new one installed to Australian Standards, and the paperwork you need for insurance or sale.

See all plumbing services
  1. No hot water at all

    The pilot won't light, the element has failed or the tank has split. We diagnose it on site and quote the replacement on the spot.

  2. Hot water running out fast

    An undersized or ageing tank leaves the last person in the house with a cold shower. We size the new unit to your household, not the one that was there before.

  3. A tank leaking in the garage or roof

    A corroded tank can let go without warning. We isolate it, protect the area and have a new unit fitted the same day in most cases.

  4. Replacing an old gas or electric unit

    Storage tanks typically last 10 to 15 years. If yours is older than that, we tell you plainly whether it's worth repairing or replacing.

  5. Switching from electric to gas, or adding solar

    We're licensed gasfitters as well as plumbers, so a change of energy source is one job, one quote, one visit.

  6. Upgrading to continuous flow

    A continuous flow unit frees up the wall or roof space a tank took and never runs out mid-shower. We fit and commission it in a day.

WHY HARBOUR PLUMBING

Built for the call you're making right now

Fifteen years of Northern Beaches hot water jobs, done the same way every time: fixed price, licensed trade, guaranteed work.

Fixed price before we start

You get one installed price in writing, from A$1,450, before we touch the old system. It covers removal, the new unit, installation and compliance certification.

No time-and-materials guesswork and no second invoice after the job is done.

Same-day callouts, Northern Beaches

Call before midday and we can usually fit you in that afternoon, anywhere from Manly to Palm Beach.

12-month guarantee on every job

If something about the installation isn't right within 12 months, we come back and put it right at no charge.

Licensed plumber and gasfitter

NSW licence 123456C covers both plumbing and gas work, so a gas hot water swap is one tradesperson, one visit.

15 years on the Northern Beaches

We know the water pressure, the roof access and the strata rules from Mona Vale to Freshwater, because we've worked on them.

Callout fee waived on the job

The $99 callout is waived the moment we carry out the work, so the quote visit costs you nothing if you go ahead.

QUESTIONS

Hot water questions, answered plainly

How much does a new hot water system cost, installed?

Installed replacement starts from A$1,450 for a standard storage unit, and we confirm your exact price in writing after inspecting the old system and your site. The quote is fixed before any work starts, so the figure on the day is the figure on the invoice.

Can you come today?

Most calls made before midday get a same-day appointment anywhere on the Northern Beaches. If your system has failed completely, tell us when you book and we'll prioritise the visit.

Gas, electric or continuous flow: which should I get?

It depends on your household size, your energy connection and your roof or wall space. We talk you through the trade-offs on site and quote the option that suits your home, not the most expensive one.

Is the callout fee charged on top of the installation?

No. The $99 callout is waived the moment we carry out the job, so if you go ahead with the replacement, the inspection and quote cost you nothing.

What does the 12-month guarantee cover?

It covers our installation workmanship for 12 months from the job date. The hot water unit itself carries its own manufacturer's warranty, which is separate and usually longer.

Do you handle the compliance paperwork?

Yes. Every installation is completed to Australian Standards and we provide the certification you need for insurance, strata or a future sale.

What if the old tank is leaking right now?

Tell us when you call. We talk you through isolating the water supply over the phone and get a plumber to you the same day wherever possible.

Do you work on apartments and strata buildings?

Yes, across the Northern Beaches including Manly, Dee Why and Mona Vale. We can coordinate access and any strata notifications as part of the job.
