Brad is a great example of the competent, courteous professional who adds to the prestige of his employer and the satisfaction of his clients. Eight months later: a pleasure to have Brad back for an inspection -- giving clear information on which we can confidently make a decision. A fine representative of an excellent company.
The service was engaging and professional in all regards.
Trent arrived on time and after digging around where my wet patch in the back garden was, he was able to locate the specific area, but not the leak itself and is returning on Monday with the leak detector to finalise the repair.
Ryan Banner is the best!

Thanks for coming to Redfern today. Ryan arrived on time, cleaned up even the tiniest mess, took off his shoes. He is polite and knowledgeable and had all the right tools and knowledge to quote for the job. Very thorough. I appreciated how he explained clearly, took photos, video and measurements to document and took the time to really understand what the job would entail. He was clear on timelines of next steps as well. All around great experience. Thanks for coming to quote today Ryan.

Sandy, Phil and shaun - great service! Reline & installation
Had a great experience with Network Plumbing. Liam, Billy K., and Chase were very professional from start to finish. They removed the balcony tiles and waterproofing effectively and took extra care to make sure no debris ended up in the pool. They also did an excellent job cleaning up afterward, including the sliding window screen and the wooden fence around the balcony. Their attention to detail and care for our home was well noticed and appreciated. I would happily recommend Network services.
Sarkis was the air conditioning technician who arrived at my place to carry out a routine service. It had been a while since my last one & my ducted system is 15 years old. Sarkis was polite, friendly, respectful, efficient, & explained everything as he carried out his checks. He was honest about what he saw & found, & gave me options, to consider, but he was never pushy about them. He followed up, with information for me to consider. Based on my experience with Sarkis today, I would happily have this company back to my place & would happily recommend them to others. Thank you Sarkis, for your great customer service today 👏
Matt and Joey were awesome!! Spotted the problem and fixed it! Impressed with their cleaning up after the job.
Philip SHaun clear blockage
Attentive inspection and analysis from Ryan who was prompt and imformative . To be recommended.
To date the experience with Network was professional, efficient and friendly. We found them competent and probably better at diagnosing problems than Arrow Air!! We hope the installation of our new aircon is as good as the service by Sarkis
Phillip and Shaun did a great job sorting out our plumbing issues and were very professional. Thanks guys!
Ryan did a thorough job clearing a blocked drain. From start to finish he was professional, polite and punctual. I was stated a price which did not change and I was very happy with his work. I highly recommend Network plumbing to get your job done well with no fuss or miscommunication. Ray
Sean and Phillip from Network Plumbing, came very quickly to inspect and solve a plumbing issue at our property. They were both very friendly, professional and did a great job explaining the issue after they resolved it. Highly recommend their services!
We got a great and professionnal service with Ryan and clear explanations about the origine of our flushing issue 👌🏼
Ryan and Sandro were very helpful, and arrived first thing in the morning after an issue that happened in the early morning. Appreciate the clear walk through of the issue, and them providing multiple solutions to fit my budget.
Great, fast and friendly work. Thanks!
Ryan attended my property to replace the tap. He is proficient, courteous and a pleasure to work with.
Thanks Philip and Sean, a job well done with minimal fuss. I would recommend you guys without hesitation.
Ryan was great- efficient, informative and friendly. Got the job done extremely quickly. Would happily have him back for any future issues.
Excellent prompt, professional but friendly service from Jake. Margaret
On time, polite, good communication skills and very neat and tidy
Great service, thanks to Liam and Phil!
Phillip Shaun Monty. Relign and PVC pipe install.
Needed a sewer relining job done in Shellharbour. Network has excellent workmanship. They take great care and pride in everything that was needed to complete the job. Thank you on behalf of Paul and the boys from APAM
Phillip, Shaun, Billy, thanks for completing the reline installation
Ryan was so courteous and knowledgeable. The response to my gas leak was also within a few hours which was also amazing. Thank you for helping me out!
Excellent service !
I was in need of a local plumber willing to check out a 30 year old mini HWS that has never given any trouble until recently when it became clear that either the thermostat or a pressure relief valve had finally failed. After a few attempts over the long weekend that got me nowhere, I tried Network Plumbing and have nothing but compliments on the way they attended to things in double quick time. The person who took my call knew what she had to do and the plumber arrived well within the advised time period, called me ahead of time and was totally professional and polite. Jordan was quick to confirm what the fault was; he had the replacement part and was able to repair the leaking valve within 20 minutes, before checking out another small plumbing issue and advising the best way to remedy that. I would have their qualified plumber Jordan back here at any time and I was more than impressed with Network’s whole operation.
Mat and Joey were efficient and lovely to work with. And from the get-go Ryan was helpful and communicative to get the job locked in and permits sorted. Would highly recommend!
Excellent service and very professional workers. Phillip and Sean did a fabulous job and our sewer is now working perfectly.
Very polite.
He was punctual, fixed the problem onsite and gave us a good advice for maintenance.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent after-sales service provided by the Network Plumbing team. Their annual inspection service is very reassuring and thoughtfully carried out. What stood out the most was how clearly and patiently they explained the operation of the switches and the key points for ongoing maintenance. Their guidance was easy to understand and very practical for everyday use. The team’s attitude was warm, gentle, and friendly, which made the whole experience very comfortable. They gave me a strong sense of trust and safety. Overall, I am very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them. Thank you for your professionalism and care.
Billy & Joe did an excellent job at our place, left it clean & tidy. Really nice guys & very helpful. Well worth 5 stars

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
The most efficient traditional electric hot water systems are well-insulated storage tanks paired with off-peak or controlled load tariffs. For maximum efficiency overall, heat pump systems outperform standard electric tanks, but within purely electric systems, correct sizing and modern insulation make the biggest difference.
Efficiency isn’t just about the unit, it’s about matching the system to your household’s usage.
Using electricity on off-peak or controlled load tariffs is often the cheapest way to heat water with a standard electric system. These systems heat water overnight when electricity rates are lower and store it for use during the day.
The key is ensuring the tank is correctly sized so you don’t run out of hot water before it reheats.
Yes – electric instant (tankless) hot water systems are available. They heat water on demand rather than storing it in a tank.
However, they require significant electrical capacity and are often better suited to single outlets or smaller households. A professional assessment is essential to determine whether your home’s electrical supply can support one.
For two people, many Sydney homes are well suited to a 125–160 litre electric storage system, depending on shower habits and peak usage times.
Oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing leads to running out of hot water. Correct sizing ensures comfort and efficiency.
Hot water is one of the biggest contributors to household electricity use. Electric systems can use significant power, especially if they’re older, poorly insulated, or incorrectly sized.
Modern systems with proper insulation, efficient elements, and off-peak operation help manage energy use more effectively.
Tankless (instant) systems can be effective in the right setting, but plumbers often caution that they’re not suitable for every home. Electrical capacity, usage patterns, and installation costs all need to be considered.
For many households, a correctly sized storage system offers more consistent performance with fewer electrical upgrades.
Heating water is consistently one of the largest contributors to electricity bills, alongside heating, cooling, and older appliances. Inefficient hot water systems can quietly drive up costs over time.
Most electric hot water systems last 10–15 years, depending on water quality, usage, and maintenance. Regular servicing and correct installation can help extend lifespan and maintain efficiency.
