Hot Water Systems in Sydney Olympic Park

Gas, electric, continuous flow and heat pump We check what your lot actually has before quoting Licence No. 232989C on the compliance paperwork Fixed price approved before we start Same day, 7 days. Emergencies 24/7

Gas, electric or heat pump is a genuine question in most suburbs. Here it gets settled largely by the building you live in, because every tower was designed with one approach and that decision was made before anyone moved in.

We cover the whole precinct, about 7.4 kilometres from base, same day seven days. Cold showers get booked in today where the day allows, and a cylinder that has split and is running across a floor is a 24/7 call.

About the suburb

Almost nothing here predates 2010, and that is the single most useful fact about hot water in this postcode. There are no forty year old tanks in side passages, because there are no side passages. Every system sits in a cupboard, a service riser or a plant room.

Mains gas is reticulated through the precinct, so gas is available in principle, but each tower made its own call. Some run centralised gas or electric plant feeding every lot. Some fitted individual units. The newest buildings increasingly specify heat pumps, pushed along by energy ratings. Between Olympic Park station, Cathy Freeman Park and the Showground you can find all three approaches within a few hundred metres.

What we do in Sydney Olympic Park

Hot water systems. Diagnosing a unit that has stopped, elements and thermostats, gas valves, continuous flow faults, tempering valves, and replacements sized to the lot rather than the bedroom count. The wider method is on hot water systems.
Blocked drains. Branch lines and shared stacks cleared with a camera first, which is a different job to a suburban sewer. See blocked drains Sydney Olympic Park.
Leak detection and repairs. A damp cupboard under a cylinder can be the unit or the waterproofing behind it. We put a meter test and acoustic gear on it first.
General plumbing and maintenance. Flexi hoses, mixers, cisterns, isolators and cooktops, all covered under general plumbing here and gas fitting.

Common questions from Sydney Olympic Park homeowners

There is no tank in my apartment at all. Where is my hot water coming from?

Your building most likely runs a centralised plant, a bank of gas or electric heaters in a plant room feeding every lot through a ring main. You get hot water without owning a unit, and usually a meter that bills your share. The trade off is that when the plant misbehaves, the fix belongs to the owners corporation rather than to you.

The precinct has mains gas. Does that mean my apartment can use it?

Not automatically. Gas reaching the street and gas reaching your lot are two different things. Some towers here were built with gas to each apartment, some kept it in the plant room for central hot water only, and some are all electric by design. We check what is actually connected at your lot before talking about any gas appliance.

Can a heat pump go on my balcony without upsetting the strata?

It depends on your building's by-laws and on the balcony itself. A heat pump needs airflow, a safe way to drain condensate, and a slab that suits it, and it makes a low hum that neighbours notice on a quiet balcony. Get written approval from the owners corporation first. We will tell you upfront whether the spot you have in mind will actually work.

Is continuous flow a better fit than a tank in a small apartment?

Often, yes, where the lot has gas. Continuous flow heats on demand so there is no cylinder taking up a cupboard and nothing kept hot all day for a household that is out. It suits one and two bedroom lots well. It needs adequate gas supply and a compliant flue path, which is the part that rules it out in some buildings.

Does replacing a hot water unit in a tower need building approval?

Usually some form of notice or consent, yes. Most owners corporations want to know before anyone works on services, books the lift, or moves an appliance through common areas. That is separate from the compliance side of the installation itself, which is our responsibility and comes with the paperwork.

The hot water is fine at the kitchen sink but weak in the shower. Why?

One fixture behaving differently to the rest points at that fixture rather than at the system. A blocked shower rose, a partly closed isolator, or a mixer cartridge that has silted up will all do it. If every outlet in the apartment is weak at once, then the problem sits further back and we look at supply and the unit itself.
