Whether a Continuous Flow Unit Suits You
A continuous flow unit suits households that never want the hot water to run out. There is no tank to empty, because the water warms inside the heat exchanger at the moment you turn the tap. How much water can flow at once sets the ceiling.
The catch is demand
If two showers and the dishwasher run together, the unit spreads its heat across them and the temperature can drop a little at each outlet.
Gas or electric matters
Gas units need enough gas supply and a pipe sized for the draw. Electric ones need a large dedicated power supply, which is an electrician's call, not ours.
Space is the quiet win
Wall-mounted units save the floor area a tank takes, which suits smaller lots and infill apartments here.
How We Fit and Set an Instant Unit
- Check the supply first. A gas unit needs a pipe sized for its draw, so we measure what feeds the spot before anything is ordered, and for electric models we confirm the supply arrangements early.
- Mount the unit. We fix it to the wall in a spot with clearance for the flue on gas models and airflow around the case.
- Connect water and gas. New isolation valves and the water connections go in, and the gas side is done under our gasfitting licence.
- Set the temperature. A tempering valve caps bathroom outlets at 50°C, and because these units hold no stored water, the 60°C storage rule for tanks does not apply to them.
- Test every outlet. We run each tap and shower, confirm steady temperature across them, and walk you through the controls before we leave.
What Moves the Price of an Instant Install
- Whether the unit runs on gas or electricity, because an electric continuous flow unit may need supply work handled by an electrician.
- The gas pipe run, since an undersized pipe that must be upgraded is extra material and labour.
- Where the unit mounts, and how far the old tank's connections sit from the new spot.
- Whether a tempering valve or new isolation valves are needed to bring the setup to standard.
Mitchelton Same Day Hot Water prices the whole job, pipe upgrades included, in one visit.
You get a fixed quote for the whole hot water job first, and we only start once you've approved it. Flat-rate pricing means no hidden fees and no extra fee for weekend or after-hours call-outs, and you can fix now, pay later.
Swapping an old tank for a wall unit is a hot water replacement job, while a brand-new build or renovation starts with hot water installation.
Instant Units and Mitchelton Homes
Tight blocks favour wall-hung units
Census figures put the population at 9244 across just 4.29 square kilometres, so yards and floorspace run short on many blocks. A unit hung on a side wall frees the spot an old cylinder occupied, which is why Mitchelton Same Day Hot Water fits them through the postwar cottage belt as well as the newer infill.
Old piping shapes what an instant unit can do
With no tank, flow rate is everything, and some unrenovated pre-1947 homes near Grovely Terrace still carry narrowed galvanised supply pipe that chokes flow. We test what the pipes actually deliver before recommending a unit, and any pipe upgrade goes into the quote rather than surfacing halfway through the job.
When We're Not the Right Call
If a new dedicated circuit is needed for an electric model, that wiring sits with an electrician, and we'd rather send you there than quote past our licence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736Can a continuous flow unit keep up with a Mitchelton household of four or more?
Yes, how much hot water runs through at once sets the cap, so the gas pipe size and the number of outlets running together decide how well it copes, and we check both before quoting.
Does Energex need to be involved when an instant electric unit is installed here?
Yes, the electric version of these units draws a heavy dedicated supply, so any new circuit or metering change should be raised with Energex and an electrician first, not with our plumbing crew.
Do the pre-1947 cottages near Grovely Terrace have the gas supply for an instant unit?
Sometimes not, because unrenovated houses in those pockets can still run narrow galvanised piping, so we check flow rates and pipe size first before promising any continuous flow unit will reach full heat.
Is an instant unit a good fit for the unit blocks around Brookside Shopping Centre?
Often yes, because a wall-mounted unit takes up no floor space, which suits the compact infill apartments that make up much of the suburb's apartment stock near that shopping district.
Can you swap a storage tank for an instant system on a Mitchelton property?
We can, and that job counts as a replacement, so the old connections get inspected, the whole swap is quoted in writing and any gas pipe upgrades are flagged first.
