A real person answers, day or night
What the household pays over time, not just on day one
An element tank costs less to buy and more to run, while a heat pump flips that equation, and which one wins depends entirely on how long the household plans on staying put. Ring (02) 9072 0597 and we'll talk through the numbers properly.
Already on electric and dealing with a fault? Head to hot water repair instead, or weigh gas and instant against it on hot water.
A suburb still running its first electric tanks
- One big postwar building wave left plenty of properties on whatever electric unit was fitted at construction A lot of these tanks are still technically working, and that's exactly why nobody's checked what they're actually costing to run.
- Housing NSW stock across the suburb frequently carries the same original units When a tenancy tank finally does get swapped, the fuel and technology decision is made no differently than on any privately owned home.
- Properties that have already been renovated skew toward newer, correctly sized systems Original and upgraded stock often sits within a few doors of each other on the very same street.
Element tank or heat pump
A tank that heats directly, nothing complicated
An element sits inside the cylinder and brings the stored water up to temperature on demand, proven technology that costs the least to buy and suits a household not planning to stay in the property for the long haul.
A heat pump that borrows its warmth
Rather than generating heat itself, this unit lifts warmth out of the air passing over it, costing more to buy but settling into a noticeably lighter power bill once a full year's use is added up.
Wider yards give a heat pump somewhere to breathe
Around Sherwood Crescent, Ronald Avenue and the streets bordering Beverley Job Park, side yards on the original postwar blocks are typically generous
Smaller, subdivided lots near Willandra Road tend to leave far less room to work with
Two ways an ageing tank makes itself known
Water that never quite gets hot enough
A shower running properly hot last year but cutting out early these days rarely comes down to a change in habits, it's typically the tank's capacity fading as the unit gets older.
A power bill climbing for no obvious reason
When nothing about daily habits has changed but the electricity bill keeps creeping up, an ageing element working harder than it should to reach temperature is a common, overlooked cause.
Getting this choice right pays off for years
- Choosing on sticker price alone often costs more in the long run The lower-priced unit at purchase can easily hand that saving straight back within a few years of higher running costs.
- A heat pump denied proper airflow never performs the way it was bought to Confirming the site has genuine clearance before ordering avoids a unit that quietly underdelivers for its entire working life.
- A tank sized for a household that's since grown or shrunk wastes money either way Matching capacity to how the property is actually lived in now, not how it was lived in originally, is worth doing properly.
How it works
Your electric system, start to finish
- 01
Call and tell us

- 02
Quote before work

- 03
Recommended straight, fitted to last
Whichever technology genuinely suits the household gets suggested honestly rather than upsold, placed wherever the yard can genuinely accommodate it, and checked thoroughly under real use before the job is called done.

Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Narraweena
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Narraweena works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
The same honest comparison between tank and heat pump is available to Dee Why, Cromer, Beacon Hill, Collaroy Plateau and Brookvale, at no different price than a job called in from within Narraweena.
Good questions, straight answers
Electric hot water questions Narraweena locals ask
Original electric tank near Victor Road has been running since the house went up. Worth swapping to a heat pump now?
Generally worth a proper look, an original unit that old is quietly expensive to run compared with newer technology, and the difference on the power bill adds up faster than most owners expect.
Housing NSW property, never had gas connected. Are we stuck with a standard tank?
Not necessarily, a heat pump remains available there too, we simply run tenancy approval alongside the sizing and siting work rather than treating it as an extra hurdle.
Would a heat pump on our block near Beverley Job Park have room to actually work properly?
Very likely, wider side yards around that pocket usually leave plenty of clearance for airflow, though the specific spot always gets confirmed on site before anything's recommended.
Adding a second bathroom near Narraweena Public School. Would a twin-element tank keep up with two showers most mornings?
It can, provided the tank's specified with that exact household in mind from the start rather than swapped in on a like-for-like basis once the new bathroom's finished.
Is switching an old tank over to a heat pump actually a big job?
Not especially, only the unit itself and its connection point change, the rest of the property's plumbing is left alone, and booking it in works the same as any other system change.
How much clearance does a heat pump genuinely need compared to a standard tank?
Airflow space around it matters more than floor area, so a boxed-in cupboard rules one out while a side passage rarely does, and we check the actual spot before recommending anything.
