Best in the business! I'm kicking myself that I didn't call the team at O'Brien earlier. Just over a week after quoting, my entire job was finished. Great job installing a rain water tank and replacing a shower breech at my place. Incredible communication and transparency. Call them now! You won't regret it.

Caitlin E. -

Had a hot water system replaced by the guys from O’Brien plumbing. Absolutely fantastic service, explained everything thoroughly ahead of the installation. They were very punctual, they cleaned the site up after finishing. A pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend using their company.

Matthew M. -

Triple A+ service from Obrien Plumbing.
Contacted Daniel from Obrien plumbing on a Saturday with a sewer blockage problem. Weekend call out fees explained clearly so no surprises but after speaking to Mark decided to wait it out til Monday due to the work involved. Mark attended Monday & communication with him re work required & cost was excellent. Job was difficult due to access but Mark persisted & a good outcome (as good as possible) was reached, & how to proceed from there explained well. Getting tradies to attend problems at home is never a good thing & the costs involved are never good, but having initial contact with Daniel & have a tradie as good as Mark show up eased to pain considerably.Prompt and friendly service from office staff and guys on site ✔️

Mark W. -

What a brilliant team, reached out to the office they came by and sorted the small issues very quickly. Will was a brilliant operator . Definitely calling these guys for any plumbing needs next time as well

Jackson D. -

Excellent experience. Rapid response, pointed out that most of the repair was covered by a warranty, ordered the necessary part and completed the work within two days. An alternative plumbing service told us the entire unit had to be replaced. Thank you O'Brien's!

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our  plumbing services. For more complex questions, please contact your local O’Brien Plumbing North Wollongong business for a chat.

The size of hot water system your home needs will depend on factors like your household size and typically water use habits. For example, larger households who use hot water frequently for bathing, as well as washing dishes and laundry, will need a larger system than a smaller home. For help in understanding your house’s hot water needs, get in touch with our expert Wollongong plumbers.

We provide hot water installation, maintenance and repairs throughout Wollongong and surrounding areas including Nowra, Kiama, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Fairy Meadow, Albion Park, Port Kembla, Thirroul, Woonona, the Southern Highlands and more.

you’re deciding which type of system to install in your home, it’s important to keep in mind how much hot water you use, how many people are in your home, and your existing service connections.

For larger homes for example, electric hot water heaters may be inefficient and you may even find yourself running out of hot water if you’re using a storage tank.

In contrast, instantaneous gas hot water heaters supply hot water on demand, are less costly to run, but they also rely on you having a gas connection.

For helpful advice on what system to choose, it’s always good to talk to an expert. At O'Brien Plumbing North Wollongong we are accredited warranty agents for a number of leading brands and are always here for you to provide friendly and honest advice.

While tankless systems have a number of advantages such as instant hot water, longer lifespans and lower operating costs there are a couple of downsides. This includes higher upfront costs and potentially inconsistent temperatures when multiple showers are in use.
