Philip and Ethan, hot water installation.
Excellent shower tap replacement. The installation was quick and professional, with no mess left behind. The new tap looks great, has smooth handle operation, and completely solved my leaking issue. Very satisfied with the result!"
Brad was professional in his manner, ensured that the plumbing issue was going to be dealt with by Sydney Water before he departed, and educated me on options to secure the meter in a better manner in the future. He also gave me some quotes as well. Very happy with his service.

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.
Phillip Sandy and Sean happy with reclining installation!
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 👏

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.
