Who Suits a Continuous Flow Unit
A continuous flow unit mounts on a wall and heats on demand, which changes what it asks of your house. It suits some situations better than others:
No tank to find room for
The unit hangs on an outside wall, so the floor space where an old cylinder stood frees up, handy in a laundry or under a house.
It never runs dry
Water is warmed on the way through, and the unit's flow rate governs how many taps can run together, which matters when showers and the washing machine overlap.
Gas units need a real supply
The heat exchanger pulls hard on the gas line while it is heating, so the pipe running from the meter has to be up to the job.
Electric units need a heavy circuit
A continuous flow electric model draws a large dedicated supply, and wiring of that size is an electrician's job, not ours.
How an Instant Install Runs
- 1
Check the supply first
We confirm the gas line and meter can feed the heat exchanger, or flag the electrical side early, and we locate the isolation valves before anything comes apart.
- 2
Clear the old setup
Where a storage tank is coming out, we drain it, disconnect it and take it away, leaving a clean run for the new pipework.
- 3
Hang the unit and connect it
The unit goes on the wall, water and gas or power are joined up, and a tempering valve holds bathroom hot water at or below 50°C.
- 4
Test it under load
We run the taps, check the temperature holds across two outlets at once, and walk you through the controls before we pack up.

Pricing a Continuous Flow Job
The price of a continuous flow job comes down to:
Gas or electric
A gas connection brings pipework and a flue run, while the electric route hinges on whether the switchboard can carry the load.
Where the unit sits
A wall close to the existing services costs less to pipe than a spot halfway down a sloping block.
What is coming out
Pulling and disposing of an old tank adds work to the day.
Supply upgrades
An undersized gas line needs upsizing, and a fresh heavy circuit goes to an electrician, and both show in the figure.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
Instant Units in This Valley
The swap is the usual job
Most houses through this valley went up from the 1960s onward and still hold a storage cylinder, so going instant normally means retiring that tank and checking the gas line can carry the new unit before it goes on the wall.
The households are big
Census figures put the typical household here at 2.9 people, with most dwellings sized at four bedrooms or above, and that morning draw is exactly what the hot water output has to be matched to.
Blocks climb, units hang
With houses stepping up the valley slopes, The Gap Same Day Hot Water picks a wall spot that balances a short, tidy pipe run from the meter against room to service the unit later.
We walk through each of those points with you before a spanner comes out.
When We're Not the Right Call
If you choose an electric continuous flow unit, the heavy circuit it draws is wiring for a licensed electrician, which we flag before you commit. A smell of gas, or any fault on the gas distributor's side of the meter, belongs with their emergency line first.
Weighing a swap against mending the old tank? Our hot water replacement guide covers that decision, and hot water installation handles new builds and relocations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7170Will a gas continuous flow unit run out of hot water in The Gap?
It will not, because the unit warms water on demand rather than holding a tankful, and we size the flow rate so your showers and taps run together without dropping cold.
Does an instant unit suit four-bedroom family homes in this postcode?
It can, and 54.2 per cent of dwellings here had four or more bedrooms at the last census, so we match the unit's output to a full family's morning run.
Can an instant unit replace a storage tank at an older The Gap house?
Often yes, though the gas line and its pipe size need checking first, because a continuous flow heat exchanger draws hard on the gas supply for the whole time it is heating.
Do instant gas units need anything from Energex?
They do not, since the unit runs on gas and water alone, while an electric continuous flow model is the one that needs a heavy circuit arranged through Energex connections.
Is LPG workable for a continuous flow unit in these hill streets?
It is, and where a street has no gas main, a bottled cylinder on a level spot runs the same burners, which we factor into the siting and the quote.
