Our licensed plumbers and gas fitters can repair all types of systems – whether it’s gas storage, continuous flow, electric, solar, and heat pump. We’ll diagnose the problem, provide clear recommendations and pricing, and get the system fixed and running in no time.


We can advise on, supply, and install a new hot water system for your home – whether it be a new build, a renovation, or a system upgrade. Dial Up can help to size the system correctly for your household needs and fit new pipework and connections to ensure seamless water heating.


Most storage water systems have a serviceable life of 8-12 years – continuous flow systems can be maintained to operate for longer. We generally recommend a check-up every 12 months, with a major service every 5 years to ensure safety valves and components are working efficiently.


Dial Up are licenced to work with gas connections and gas hot water heaters – we can repair, service, and install new gas instant and storage hot water systems across Sydney. Our plumbers regularly service issues with pilot light failures, fluctuating temperature, and gas supply issues.


Electric systems are the most common across Sydney. We have experience in servicing and installing all types of electric hot water systems – from element replacements to thermostat faults, and full unit replacements across major brands like Rheem, Vulcan, and Thermann.


Solar and heat pump systems are becoming more popular as more NSW households move towards energy-efficient and solar powered devices under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. We can set up, install, and maintain your solar hot water system to keep your hot water running seamlessly.
Not every hot water issue will mean needing to replace your system – hot water units are designed to last up to a decade, so if there are minor repairs required, we’ll always opt for servicing rather than installing a new unit for the sake of it.
For older models that require frequent repairs or a big service that’s going to cost more than $1,000, we’re more inclined to recommend installing a new hot water system – especially if you have the option to upgrade to a more energy efficient model.
Solar hot water and heat pump systems are by far the most energy efficient systems available, especially when you consider the NSW rebates and energy schemes available for Sydney residents.
Gas used to be the most efficient if you have an existing gas connection, but it does also mean you’re at the mercy of increasing gas rates.
Electric hot water systems are by design, the least efficient. However, electric heat pump systems can use 60-75% less energy than conventional hot water systems and are very popular across larger Sydney homes.
A new hot water system can cost between $700 for a 50L system, up to $3,000-$7,500 for a 300L-400L capacity system. How much you spend on a new system will depend on the type – solar hot water units are generally the most expensive to buy, but end up being the most cost effective to run. Electric hot water systems are often the cheapest, but end up costing more in energy costs. Gas hot water systems are mid-range to purchase, but running costs will be contingent on the current gas rates.
In terms of installation costs, a replacement or new installation will generally cost between $1,500-$3,000 in Sydney, depending on the unit and type of water heater.
The NSW Government also provides incentives for Sydney homes to upgrade hot water heaters. As of 2026, you can access a discount from the Energy Savings Scheme to lower the cost of switching to a new, more energy efficient system (heat pump or solar).
If you’re eligible, discounts can be:
Water use behaviours can vary from home to home – the general guide is to size your system by the number of bedrooms within the home, allowing 50-70 litres of hot water per day, per bedroom.
