A real person answers, day or night
The straightforward choice when there is no gas line at the property
An electric storage tank needs no flue and little fuss, quietly reheating overnight to stand ready for the day where a gas line never reached. Call (02) 9072 0502 and we will size one to your home.
Electric hot water in the unit blocks
Not every tower around the station carries a gas riser, and where it does not, electric storage quietly does the work behind hundreds of apartments.
Simple in a cupboard
Recovery that keeps up
Electric systems we handle
Electric hot water is mostly about storage done well, from the size of the cylinder to the rate it runs on and the safety gear around it, so this is what we cover:
Storage cylinders
Sitting quietly with a reserve ready to draw, an electric storage cylinder is the dependable workhorse for a unit or cottage, and we supply and fit them in the capacity your household genuinely needs day to day.
Off-peak setups
Running the element overnight on a lower off-peak tariff, a well-sized tank heats a full day's supply while the household sleeps, which trims the bill and keeps the cylinder ready for the morning rush ahead.
Sizing for the home
Because a heater sized for two runs short when extra sharers move into a unit, we match the cylinder to the bathroom count and the peak-hour draw, so the system clears a busy morning without anyone hitting cold.
Valves and safety
Each electric install is finished with the pressure and temperature relief valve tested, a tempering valve set for safe delivery to the taps, and the connections checked so the cylinder runs safely for years.
Storage tanks in the period cottages
Near Knox Presbyterian Church, which has stood since 1911, the surviving worker's cottages predate any gas rollout, and many have always relied on electric hot water.
No gas, no problem
Ageing tanks, ageing pipe
Electric faults we sort
No hot water at all
When an electric tank goes stone cold, a failed element or a cut-out that has tripped is the common cause, and renewing the element or resetting the protection brings the whole cylinder back to temperature.
Runs out too soon
If the hot fades partway through the morning, the tank is commonly too small for the household or losing heat to sediment, so we check the capacity and flush the cylinder before it leaves anyone cold.
Rust or leaks
Should water weep from the base or the hot side run discoloured, the cylinder is corroding from within, which no element swap can cure, so we test whether the tank has genuinely reached the end.
Why the right electric setup counts
An electric system is simple, but a badly sized tank or the wrong tariff quietly costs you every single day, so getting the setup right is what separates a good unit from a frustrating one:
- Lower bills on off-peak A tank set to heat overnight on off-peak power costs noticeably less over a year than a continuous flow unit heating on demand all day. The right tariff makes a real difference.
- No cold mornings A cylinder sized to the household clears the peak rush, so nobody in a shared unit meets a cold shower before work. The tank simply keeps up with the home.
- A safe, compliant tank Tested relief and tempering valves keep stored water safe and delivery gentle at the taps. That protects the household and satisfies the paperwork every install needs.
How it works
How an electric system goes in, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Set and energise
Given the green light, your plumber sets the storage cylinder level on its stand, connects the cold feed, relief line and off-peak supply, then energises the element and confirms the whole tank recovers to full temperature.

Backed for life
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 Mascot
Electric or otherwise, the way we run a job stays the same four things.
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 Mascot 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 our vans reach
Households in the adjoining suburbs get the same care, from Botany toward the container docks, Rosebery, Eastlakes on the low-lying catchment, Wolli Creek by the river and Tempe over the Alexandra Canal.
Good questions, straight answers
Electric hot water questions around Mascot
Is an electric hot water system a good choice without gas?
Yes, where a property has no gas line an electric storage tank is the simple, reliable answer, needing no flue and running at low cost overnight on an off-peak tariff to fill for the day.
Do apartments near the station use electric hot water?
Many do, because not every building carries a gas riser, so electric storage sits in a cupboard or balcony nook and warms a whole day's water for the home without any flue at all.
What size electric tank do I need?
We size the cylinder to your bathrooms and peak-hour demand rather than the old label, so the cylinder reheats quickly enough to carry a shared household through a busy morning without running cold.
Can I run an electric system on off-peak power?
Usually yes, and a correctly sized tank timed to heat overnight on the off-peak tariff holds a full day's hot water while costing far less to run than heating around the clock.
How long does an electric hot water system last?
A well-maintained storage cylinder typically gives reliable service for about a decade, and once rust or a base leak appears the cylinder has had its day and a fresh tank is the dependable move.
Is there any charge to assess an electric system?
None at all, the trip to size the tank and check the tariff is $0, and the price is settled in writing beforehand, so the assessment never appears on your bill.
