The Case for Continuous Flow
A continuous flow unit heats water only as it flows, so the supply never cuts out mid-shower no matter how many showers follow one another. It suits several situations around here:
No tank to place
The unit hangs on the wall, which frees floor space in laundries, cupboards and under-house gaps where a tank never really fit.
Hot water that keeps coming
Back-to-back showers, a dishwasher and a washing machine can run in sequence without anyone waiting for a tank to reheat.
Gas or electric
Gas models need a sound gas supply and a correctly sized pipe from the meter; electric models pull a heavy load and need their own dedicated circuit, which is electrician work.
Sized to the household
A unit's flow capacity decides how many showers and taps can run together, so we match it to your household rather than guessing.
Fitting a Continuous Flow Unit
The job runs to a short sequence, whether it's a changeover from an old tank or a fresh install.
- 1
Size the unit and check the supply
We count the outlets you actually run together, then confirm the gas pipe and meter can feed the model you want, or that the electrician's supply is sorted.
- 2
Mount the unit and connect the water
The bracket goes up, the water connections and isolation valves go on, and the old tank comes out if there was one.
- 3
Make the energy connection
A gas unit gets its flue route set and its gas control valve tested; an electric unit waits until the dedicated circuit is in place.
- 4
Run everything and explain
We open each tap, set the temperature controllers, confirm the tempering valve is doing its job, and show you how the controls work before we leave.

What Moves the Price on an Instant Unit
The figure on an instant job comes down to a handful of things:
- The unit's capacity, because a model that runs two showers at once costs more than one sized for a single bathroom.
- Gas versus electric, since the supply behind each is different and an electric model's dedicated circuit is separate electrician work.
- Where the unit mounts, and how far the flue or the pipework has to travel.
- Any valves or fittings the changeover needs, including the tempering valve that keeps bathroom outlets safe.

Instant Units Around the Railway Line
Compact homes east of the tracks
The townhouses and units on that side run one system per dwelling, and a wall-mounted unit suits them because there's no tank crowding a small laundry or a ground-floor cupboard.
Older houses, checked supplies
The interwar Queenslanders on their roomy allotments often have a cylinder that has already been renewed at least once, and some owners take that moment to move to continuous flow instead; where gas is the option, we measure the pipe from the meter first, because an instant unit only performs as well as the supply feeding it.
Dual dwellings
Where an older house has come down and two homes now stand on the block, each takes its own compact unit rather than sharing one supply, and each new home starts with a clean hot water installation. If a tired tank is what pushed you here, that side of the decision sits on our hot water replacement page.
When We're Not the Right Call
One case sits outside our tools: an electric continuous flow model that needs a brand new dedicated circuit, because running that wiring is licensed electrical work, and we'd rather say so than quote a job we can't finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7158Can a continuous flow unit suit the compact homes east of the rail line?
Yes, a wall-mounted gas unit keeps the floor clear in those townhouses and units, though we check the gas pipe feeding it is big enough for the flow you want.
What does Energex have to do with an instant electric unit?
Quite a lot, because an instant electric model pulls a heavy load and needs a dedicated circuit all to itself, so that wiring goes to a licensed electrician, not to us.
Does old galvanised pipework change how an instant unit performs in Wooloowin?
It can, because unrenovated houses on the older streets still run their first galvanised steel pipes, which already restrict flow, so we test what reaches the unit before recommending a size.
What if my part of Wooloowin has no gas connection?
LPG runs continuous flow gas units perfectly well, so where there's no gas main at your place we plan the bottle placement and the regulator setting before we quote the job.
Is one continuous flow unit enough for a household running several showers?
It depends on the model's flow capacity rather than the tank size that no longer exists, so we count the showers and taps you run at once and size the unit to that.
