When a Continuous Flow Unit Suits
A continuous flow heater warms water as it passes through, so there is no tank to drain and the last shower stays just as warm as the first. That makes it worth a look when:
Nobody wants to wait for a tank
Back-to-back showers, late shifts and full households all get hot water on demand.
Floor space is tight
The unit hangs up on the wall, which frees the floor in apartments where every cupboard counts.
You want hot water sized to the household
The flow rate sets how many taps can run together, so we match the model to the showers and taps you actually use at once.
Gas is available
A gas model needs an adequate supply and the right pipe size, which we check before quoting.
An electric continuous flow unit is a different beast: it pulls a heavy load and wants its own big circuit, and that wiring belongs to an electrician.
How We Fit and Fix
- 1

Check the services first
On gas we measure the pipe size and meter capacity, because a line too small chokes the burner once two taps open together.
- 2

Size the unit to the peak
We work out which showers and taps run at the same time and pick a flow rate that covers them.
- 3

Mount and connect
The unit goes up on the wall, the water connections and isolation valves go in, and a tempering valve holds the bathroom outlets at 50°C.
- 4

Commission and walk you through it
We open the hot taps, confirm the flow and temperature, and show you the controls before we pack up.

$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.

What Moves the Price
Pricing turns on four details:
- Gas or electric, because the electric models need heavier wiring behind them
- Gas pipe sizing, since a bigger unit can outgrow an older line
- Where the unit hangs and how far the flue has to travel
- Valves and fittings, including a tempering valve where bathrooms need one
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Swapping out a dead cylinder is a separate job, covered on our hot water replacement page, while new builds and renovations sit under hot water installation.

Instant Units in Valley Apartments
Young rentals, showers stacked up
Census figures put the median age here at 31, and most residents rent, so a heater that never empties suits flatmates queuing before work or a shift.
Kitchens that trade all evening
Dining rooms near Howard Smith Wharves and along Duncan Street need hot water through every service, and a unit that heats on demand keeps up as long as the taps run.
No cylinder to squeeze in
Fortitude Valley Same Day Hot Water mounts these heaters high, which leaves the floor of a compact service zone free for laundry storage instead of a tank.

When We're Not the Right Call
The wiring side of an electric continuous flow install sits outside our trade, because those units pull a heavy load and need a circuit of their own, so a licensed electrician handles that while we do the plumbing and gas connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Will a continuous flow unit fit inside a Fortitude Valley apartment?
In most units, yes, because hanging the heater up high frees the floor completely, though we confirm the gas supply and the flue run first, since either can rule an internal fit out.
Do the venues near Story Bridge rely on instant hot water?
Plenty do, because a kitchen or glasswasher cannot trade without steady hot water, and an on-demand heater never runs dry through a busy Friday or Saturday service, so venue bookings jump the queue.
Does Energex play a part in an instant electric install?
Only on the supply side, because a high-draw electric model wants its own heavy circuit, and that wiring is an electrician's job while we handle the plumbing connections and commissioning.
Can you repair a continuous flow unit that keeps cutting out?
We can, and we check the heat exchanger, the flow sensors and the ignition before quoting, so the figure covers the real fault rather than a guess at which part gave up.
Can an instant unit replace a cylinder in a converted building off Brookes Street?
Often, and the swap frees floor space, though we check the gas pipe size and water pressure first, because a continuous flow heater needs both to run every outlet properly.
