Whether a Continuous Flow Unit Suits Your Home
A flow unit earns its keep in the right house, and the wrong one frustrates. A few points decide it:
You keep running out
A tank holds a set amount, then goes cold. A flow unit never does, because it heats on demand.
Space is tight
There is no cylinder to house, which matters on the small terraced blocks around here.
Outlets run together
Flow rate decides how many taps and showers work at once, so the unit has to match the household.
Gas models need enough supply
The gas pipe feeding the unit has to be sized for it, which some older cottage lines can't manage.
Electric models need heavy power
An instant electric model pulls a heavy load, so it needs its own dedicated circuit, and that wiring is an electrician's territory.
How We Fit an Instant Unit
- 1
Size the supply
We confirm whether the gas line can feed the unit, or what an electric model would demand of the switchboard.
- 2
Match the flow rate
The unit is sized to the outlets your family runs at once, so nobody loses pressure mid-shower.
- 3
Mount and connect
The unit hangs where the pipes run, with isolation valves fitted and a tempering valve capping bathroom water at 50°C.
- 4
Commission and hand over
We run the hot taps, check ignition and flow, then go through the controls with you before we pack up.

Pricing an Instant Hot Water Job
These points shape the figure:
- Whether the unit runs on gas or electricity, and what each connection needs
- The gas pipe size, if an older line has to be upgraded to feed the unit
- Where the unit mounts, and how awkward the access is on a sloping block
- Any valves or pipework that need renewing along the way
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 on These Hill Blocks
Space is the first winner
At the last census, 27.2 per cent of the suburb's homes were flats or apartments, and a wall-hung unit reclaims the cupboard or the yard corner an old tank took up.
Distance is the second
On blocks carved into the hillside, the old cylinder can sit a full level beneath the bathrooms, so taps run cold while the pipes empty. A flow unit mounted closer to the wet areas shortens that wait instead of fighting it.
Old pipe is the catch
Restored cottages here hide decades-old water lines behind new linings, and internal scale has narrowed them over the years. Local Red Hill Hot Water confirms the supply pipe can carry the flow a new unit promises, because a starved continuous flow unit is a complaint waiting to happen.
When We're Not the Right Call
The dedicated circuit an instant electric model needs is a job for your electrician, and Local Red Hill Hot Water points you to the right trade rather than quoting work outside our licence. For the unit itself, a hot water replacement or a fresh hot water installation is ours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7167Can a continuous flow unit run several showers at once in Red Hill?
Flow rate decides that rather than tank size, so before quoting we match the unit's output to the number of outlets your household is likely to run at the same moment.
Do instant gas units work in Red Hill cottages without mains gas?
Yes, because LPG bottles can feed a continuous flow unit where no gas main reaches the street, and we size the bottle and the supply line as part of the same job.
Is Energex involved when an instant electric unit goes in?
Sometimes, because an instant electric model draws a heavy current on its own circuit, and any new wiring or switchboard work is a decision for your electrician before we touch the unit.
Will a continuous flow unit suit a small Red Hill cottage?
Usually, since the unit hangs on a wall and takes no yard space at all, which helps on the narrow terraced blocks that most of this suburb's older housing sits on.
Does Urban Utilities play any part in an instant install here?
Rarely, because the job is all on your property past the water meter, and Urban Utilities only gets involved when the street main feeding your place develops a fault of its own.
