Hot Water Systems in Seven Hills

Same day service, 7 days $0 callout fee when the job goes ahead Fixed price upfront Licence No. 232989C

Unlike a lot of Sydney, you actually get a choice here. Detached house, mains gas in the street, room outside for a unit. All four system types are genuinely available to most addresses in this suburb.

Which means the decision is yours to make rather than the building's to dictate, and it is worth making it on how your household uses hot water rather than on whatever the last plumber happened to stock.

About the suburb

Two things make this an unusually open field for hot water. The first is that Jemena mains gas runs through the suburb, so gas storage and continuous flow are both on the table for most houses. The second is that 84% of dwellings are separate houses on blocks of 600 to 900 square metres, which means there is physically somewhere to put a unit.

The stock splits by age. The remaining mid-century homes often still have electric storage, installed when that was standard and never revisited. The two-storey rebuilds that have replaced so many of them since the 2000s tend to specify gas or, more and more often, a heat pump. Between the Prospect Highway and Seven Hills Road you can see all of it inside a few streets.

The hot water work itself

Gas storage is the workhorse. A cylinder heated by a burner, so a full tank is ready when four people want a shower at once. Failures are a gas valve, a thermocouple or eventually the tank itself.

Continuous flow heats water as it passes through and never runs out, which suits staggered use and frees up the space a cylinder would take. It needs adequate gas supply and a compliant flue, and it dislikes very low flow rates.

Electric storage is simple and cheap to install, often on an off peak tariff, but it has to carry a whole day of hot water in one tank. Heat pumps run on electricity and move heat rather than making it, so they cost far less to run, but they need air, space and tolerance for a low hum.

Whichever it is, sizing goes on the household, a tempering valve is fitted where required, gas work happens under the same licence through gas fitting, and the old unit leaves with us.

Common questions

We have room outside. Does that make a heat pump the obvious choice?

Space makes it possible, not automatic. A heat pump pulls heat from the air, so it wants an open, reasonably sunny position with airflow and somewhere for condensate to drain. It also hums while it runs, which matters if the only spot is under a bedroom window or against a neighbour's fence. Where those line up it is a strong option. Where they do not, it is a compromise you would regret.

Gas storage or continuous flow, which suits a family house here?

Storage suits a household with a big simultaneous demand, several showers running close together in the morning, because the hot water is already made and waiting. Continuous flow suits a household that uses hot water across the day and hates running out, since it heats on demand and nothing is kept hot for nobody. Flow rate and gas supply decide whether continuous flow will actually keep up.

We are rebuilding. When should the hot water decision get made?

Earlier than most people make it. The type of system changes where pipework runs, what gas supply is needed, what electrical provision is required and where the unit physically sits. Deciding late usually means taking whatever fits the space that is left, which is how houses end up with a system nobody chose.

Is it worth keeping an old electric tank if it still works?

Sometimes. A tank that heats reliably and suits the household is not a problem just because it is old, and replacing something that works to chase running costs takes longer to pay back than people expect. What changes the answer is a cylinder that has started leaking from the tank itself, or one that no longer holds a day's hot water.
