How Continuous Flow Units Work
A continuous flow unit has no tank
Water travels through a heat exchanger that burns gas or draws power only while a tap is open, then shuts down the instant the tap closes.
Flow rate is the number that matters
It governs how many showers, taps and appliances can run together, so a unit matched to the household's real peak keeps every outlet hot at once, while an undersized one drops temperature the moment a second shower opens.
Who a Flow Unit Suits
A wall-hung unit beats a tank in three common situations:
Households that never want a cold shower
Consecutive showers, a dishwasher cycle and a laundry load in one evening drain a cylinder; a flow unit heats through all of it.
Tight or awkward spots
Because it mounts on the wall, the unit leaves clear the ground a tank would otherwise occupy, which matters in compact service areas and laundries.
Long, even showers
Sized properly, the temperature holds steady no matter how long the tap stays open.
Gas units need enough supply and pipe size behind them. Instant electric is a different beast, because it wants a large dedicated power supply.
Fitting the Unit, Step by Step
- 1
Size the unit
We count every shower, tap and appliance that could run together, then match the flow rate to that peak.
- 2
Check the supply behind it
Gas jobs need a meter and line that carry the draw; electric jobs need the switchboard assessed before anything is ordered.
- 3
Hang and connect
The unit mounts on its bracket, then the water, gas and isolation valves are joined up.
- 4
Commission it
The tempering valve is set so bathroom taps deliver no more than 50°C, and we run every outlet to confirm the temperature holds under load.

What Shapes the Quote on an Instant Job
Four details shape the figure on an instant job:
- The flow rate the household needs, which sets the size of the unit
- Gas or electric, and whether the existing supply can carry it
- Where the unit mounts, and how far the pipe runs have to stretch
- Whether a tempering valve or other valves need replacing to bring the job to standard
Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
If a tired tank is coming out to make room for the flow unit, our hot water replacement page covers the changeover, and new installs for renovations or builds start there too.
Instant Units on These Heritage Blocks
Heritage walls favour wall-hung units
Grand pre-1940 houses such as Chateau Nous were never drawn up with a tank slab in mind, and a unit that hangs on the wall leaves both the floor plan and the weatherboard line untouched. Ascot Same Day Hot Water quotes the mounting and the pipe route together so nothing surprises you on the day.
Household counts undersell the demand
Census figures put the average household here at 2.3 people, yet plenty of these family homes stretch well past that, and a flow-rated unit keeps pace because it never empties the way a cylinder does.
Old pipework can throttle a new unit
Galvanised steel survives inside many of these walls, and a corroded run restricts the water reaching the unit, so pipe condition gets checked at the quote rather than blamed on the hardware later.
When We're Not the Right Call
An instant electric unit pulls more current than a household circuit carries, so the dedicated circuit behind one is electrician territory. Once the supply side is sorted, the unit is returned directly to us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7167Will a continuous flow unit run out during back-to-back showers in Ascot's family homes?
No, a flow unit heats water on its way through the system, so consecutive showers in a busy home stay hot unless the unit's flow rate is too small for every outlet you run at once.
Does an instant gas unit need a bigger supply in the older Ascot streets?
Usually, because both the gas meter and the supply line have to carry the peak draw, so we measure both at the quote and upsize the pipework where an older run falls short.
Can an instant electric unit go into a unit building near Bartleys Hill?
Only where a suitably large dedicated supply exists, and creating one is electrician work, so we check the switchboard first and recommend gas where the building's power cannot carry the unit.
Is continuous flow hot water suitable for Ascot's big interwar homes?
Yes, the extended homes on these hill streets often run three bathrooms or more, and we size the unit on real peak demand instead of a brochure default before quoting.
Do continuous flow units cope with Energex supply limits in Ascot?
Gas units sit outside the question entirely, while an instant electric unit needs a large dedicated supply, so we confirm what your Energex connection can carry before we quote the job.
