Rheem gas hot water system installation in Warrawee.
When an elderly customer in Warrawee on Sydney’s Upper North Shore lost her hot water, she contacted Cheapa Hot Water for assistance. We arranged a same-day service call to inspect her instantaneous gas hot water system.
Once on site, hot water specialist John inspected the customer’s system and found that it was more than 20 years old. After completing the necessary tests, he determined that the unit was beyond economical repair and would need to be replaced.
Before recommending a new hot water system, we always investigate whether a safe and economical repair is possible. Unfortunately, replacement parts are no longer available for many older systems, making some repairs impractical or impossible.
John discussed the suitable replacement options with the customer, including the available makes, models and system capacities. Although the customer lived alone and generally used relatively little hot water, the household’s usage increased considerably when family members came to stay. A system capable of accommodating the needs of a larger household would also benefit future occupants if the property were sold.
The customer decided on the installation of a new Rheem Metro gas continuous flow hot water system (model: 876627). Scroll down for more information about this model.

Continuous-flow and gas storage systems.
No hot water? Is your existing system leaking, unreliable or no longer economical to repair? We supply and install both continuous-flow and gas storage hot water systems in customer’s homes and businesses across Sydney.
Our experienced team can assess your property, household size, hot water usage and existing gas supply before recommending a suitable replacement. We install systems from all leading brands, giving you the choice to choose a hot water system that suits your specific needs and budget.
Continuous-flow gas hot water systems: Also known as instantaneous gas hot water systems, continuous-flow units heat water as it is required rather than storing it in a tank. Their compact design can be useful where outdoor space is limited. The system must be correctly sized to provide sufficient hot water when several taps or showers are being used.
Gas storage hot water systems: Gas storage systems heat water and hold it in an insulated tank, ready for use. They are available in different capacities to suit different household sizes and can provide a practical replacement where a gas storage system is already installed.
Our team can compare suitable gas hot water options and explain the installation requirements, purchase price, capacity and likely operating considerations. We can replace an existing system with a similar model or assess whether changing to a different type of gas hot water system would better suit your property.

We are qualified to undertake any plumbing and electrical work required to ensure your hot water heater is repaired quickly and within budget. Plumbers who do not specialise in the installation of hot water heaters may need to outsource the electrical work required to another tradesperson, thereby holding up your hot water system repair or installation, adding extra expense due to additional call-out fees charged by employing two tradespeople.
Your hot water heater is an expensive appliance. Don’t risk voiding your warranty.
Additionally, most manufacturers won’t cover the terms of your hot water system warranty if it isn’t installed by a licensed hot water technician or a qualified plumber. Hot water tanks are an expensive appliance so why would you risk voiding your warranty by installing it yourself or employing the services of someone who isn’t licensed?
