What a Continuous Flow Unit Suits
A flow unit heats water on demand, so it never empties the way a tank does, and it hangs on a wall instead of sitting on the ground. That makes it a good match for:
- Households that keep running out between showers, because the unit heats only what the tap asks for and keeps going.
- Tight yards or side passages where a tank would crowd the laundry or the garage.
- Homes with a gas line already sized for it, since gas units need enough supply and pipe diameter to fire properly.
- Anyone chasing a compact swap for a worn tank, with the old cylinder carted away and the wall taking over.
The catch is supply. A gas unit wants a proper gas line, and an electric model pulls a heavy current, so we test what your house can feed before recommending anything.
How an Instant Unit Gets Fitted
- 1
Check the supply
We measure the gas line or confirm the power available, because an undersized feed starves the unit and leaves showers lukewarm.
- 2
Mount the unit
The wall bracket goes on with the clearances the manufacturer wants, usually where the old tank's pipes already run.
- 3
Connect the services
Water lines get isolation valves, gas connections are made under our gasfitting licence, and the tempering valve is set so bathroom outlets stay at 50°C.
- 4
Final checks and handover
We run the taps, confirm the temperature holds under load, and show you how everything works before we go.

What Drives the Price on an Instant Job
Four factors shift the price on this kind of install:
- Whether the gas line needs upsizing to feed the new unit properly.
- Whether an electric model needs a fresh circuit, which sits with an electrician rather than us.
- Where the unit mounts, and how much pipe rerouting the changeover involves.
- Which valves need replacing, including the tempering valve, once the old tank's fittings come off.
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.
Instant Units on These Streets
Families shape the sizing
Flats make up just 2.3 per cent of the housing stock here, census figures show, so the usual job is a flow unit hung on the side of a brick veneer house, sized for outlets rather than floor space. A place with several bedrooms needs a unit rated for showers running one after another.
The old tank shows us the spot
Streets built out from the eighties onward mostly have the cylinder against an outside wall, and that position often takes the new unit with little new pipe, which keeps the job tidy.
Gas decides the path
Where no gas line serves the house, the choice sits between bottle gas and an electric model, and McDowall Same Day Hot Water prices both so you can compare properly. If the changeover replaces a worn tank, the hot water replacement page deals with the repair-or-replace decision, and a fresh build or renovation starts at hot water installation.
When We're Not the Right Call
If the job comes down to running a fresh dedicated power circuit for an instant electric model, that wiring is a licensed electrician's job, and we stick to the unit and its pipes. Everything else on the unit itself stays with us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Can a continuous flow unit run on bottle gas in McDowall?
Yes, bottle gas runs a continuous flow unit on streets without a gas main, and the bottle and regulator work sits inside the one quote we give you.
Will one instant unit run two showers in a four-bedroom McDowall house?
That comes down to flow rate rather than tank size, and because so many homes here carry four or more bedrooms, we size the unit so back-to-back showers hold their heat.
Does an instant electric unit need a new circuit on the Energex network?
The heating itself is instant, though the unit still needs a heavy dedicated circuit, and that wiring is electrician work on the Energex supply rather than something we touch.
Is a flow unit worth fitting when the tank gives out near Cabbage Tree Creek?
Often it is, because a wall-hung unit opens up room outside and never runs dry on a big family, though we test the gas line or power feed before quoting the changeover.
How do summer storms treat a wall-hung instant unit?
A unit hung on an outside wall cops every summer storm, so we check its casing and fittings for damage whenever we attend, particularly after wild weather.
