Kieran and Rod did an amazing job reinstalling the timber on my roof!
Excellent service ; Brendan arrived on time and inspected the drainage efficiently with immediate feedback. Would definitely use again.
I want to thank Network for their help - Danny Ryan and Taison for installing my new hot water system. They were efficient and professional. And also to Tom Garrett and Kieran Casey for fixing the electrical. My hot water system burst in the middle of the night and by the evening of the next day my little girls and I got to have hot showers!! Thank you so much!! Will be using Network again, not to mention they were all such lovely guys!!
Kieran from STP came to our house to replace and fit multiple down lights and replace and fit a new smoke alarm. He was very polite and enthusiastic and completed the job to a very night standard and I am very happy with Kieran and the company STP for their work.
Robbery and fill done a great job 👌
We recently had ceiling fans installed by Tom and Kieran. They were able to conplete the works the same day as the quote, they were super professional and very friendly. They made sure everything worked perfectly and demonstrated the fans before leaving. Great experience!
Spencer was a legend! Thanks so much
Network did excellent work upgrading our waste lines under one of our bathrooms and laundry. They also upgraded our inspection point at the Sydney Water junction. All the guys Spencer, Callum, Ollie, Luke and Robbie were quick, neat, friendly and, above all else, did a great job. The company is a pleasure to deal with and I have no hesitation recommending them. An involved job done with a minimum of fuss. Thanks guys, Steve
Phillip, Luke, and Shaw relined our sewage pipes for us; everyone was super friendly, hard-working (through the rain!), and understanding about my barky dog, haha. Thank you so much for your work!
Oliver and Matt did a good job today
Very courteous and very knowledgeable
Spencer has just left my home after spending time investigating a leak in my kitchen tap. After investigation & then a follow up discussion with me, we've decided a new tap is the way to go. Spencer is so courteous and considerate and is thorough in his work. I always feel comfortable having Network addressing any plumbing issues. I'd highly recommend Network Plumbing as my experience with Spencer's plumbing expertise (in fact, all of Network's team), has always been positive.
Penny and Jake from network plumbing were very friendly, efficient and helpful with our enquiry. We wanted a dishwasher connection setup and we were given a reasonable free quote along with excellent customer service. I would recommend these guys to anyone with plumbing needs. Thanks again for your assistance in setting up the dishwasher. It works perfectly!
Really happy with the work and help from our technicians today Kieran Casey and Luke Donlan. They recommended a quoter and explained everything really clearly. Thank you.

Kieran and Damian were extremely helpful and polite
I had Aiden and Kieran come to my grandparents house to upgrade their switchboard and they were the most polite and handsome young men i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would highly recommend anyone in need of electrical services to ask for these two legends.
Phillip and Sean done a fantastic job reclining the broken pipes at my place (66-72 Dee Why Pde). They were efficient and very friendly compared to some of the other tradesmen we get working here. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Phillip and Shaun from Network- plumbing did an excellent job. Exceeded my expectations. Totally recommend them.

Great service from start to finish. I had several taps replaced at our home and the work was completed quickly and professionally. A special thank you to Jordan for his excellent customer service. He was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy. We’re very happy with the result and would highly recommend Network
Spencer was very good, he explained everything to me, he also check everything else was ok
Spencer was great. Got the blocked drain solved quickly, late on a Friday and checked our inlet hoses. All part of the service. Highly recommended
Sarkis from Network air came to my home today to look at my AC. He was very polite and knowledgable. Highly recommend Sarkis
Spencer was wonderful, very efficient and good at explaining things!
Phillip was friendly
Phillip and Sean came and relined some 100 year old terracotta pipes. They arrived right on time and finished earlier than they forecast. In addition to completing the work in a timely and efficient manner they had to juggle with parking here as there’s a construction site next door. They completed all tasks including cleaning up so that it looks like they have not been here ( although I have seen the photos of the relined pipe!) Many thanks. Andrew Butler
5 stars for Grant and Network! Professional, punctual, and did a great job installing our new hot water system. He explained everything clearly, left the area spotless and made sure everything was working properly before he left. He even helped remove a drain cover which was stuck that wasn't part of the job. Excellent service and highly recommended! Thank you Grant and Network!
I’ve been using the team from Network for several years now. My go-to One Stop Shop for all my electrical and plumbing needs. Today’s job was relatively minor but Tom was - as always - on time, friendly & courteous, skilled and efficient. He got the job done and even added on the installation of a smoke alarm I’d been putting off for months. All for a more than reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.
Tristan was great. Very friendly and very prompt in fixing our aircon system. Highly recommend thanks
Phillip Shaun and Tom Drain work efficiently completed. Surrounding area cleaned up properly. All staff over the two days very polite and hardworking.
Very happy with work done by Spencer. Thorough, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
On time and very efficient service from Sandro. Who took time to explain what he was doing and reported any problems, if any, on his safety check. We now feel more comfortable with our gas heater. We will be using this company again.
Thank you Spencer and Ethan for a fantastic job in identifying the major problem with my kitchen drain. This is now a permanent fix and no more drainage problems in future.

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.
