Why Choose a Continuous Flow Unit
A continuous flow unit suits households that are tired of waiting for a cylinder to catch up. The main points:
- There is no tank, so the hot water does not run dry halfway through the last shower of the morning.
- Flow rate decides how many showers and taps run at the same time, which is why sizing the unit to your outlets matters more than anything else on the box.
- The unit hangs on an outside wall, freeing up the floor space an old cylinder used to claim in the laundry or garage.
- Gas models need an adequate gas supply and correctly sized pipework, while electric models pull a heavy load through a dedicated circuit.
If you are weighing a wall unit against a new tank, the hot water replacement page lays out that decision, and the installation page covers brand-new runs.

How an Instant Install Runs
Wavell Heights Hot Water Services runs every instant job to the same five steps.
- Size it properly. We count the outlets likely to run together and match the unit's flow rate to that demand, not to a guess.
- Set the unit. We mount it on the outside wall with the clearance its flue needs, then make the water connection.
- Tie in the energy supply. On gas we run or upsize the feed pipe as needed; on electric we confirm the dedicated circuit with your electrician before switching on.
- Fit the safety valves. A tempering valve keeps bathroom water at 50°C, and storage water sits at 60°C to keep Legionella out, so we set both ends of the system correctly.
- Run it with you. We open every outlet, check the temperature at the taps and go through the controls together before we leave.
What Shapes the Quote
Four things move the figure on a continuous flow job:
- Gas or electric: a gas connection and any feed-pipe upsizing cost different money to an electric unit's circuit requirements.
- Where the unit hangs: wall strength, flue clearance and distance from the taps all change the pipework.
- What the old setup leaves behind: capping a retired cylinder or rerouting pipes adds labour.
- Valves: a tempering valve or isolation valve usually joins the job and belongs in the figure from the start.
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.
Continuous Flow in These Post-War Houses
Big families are the natural fit
At the last census, 41.2 per cent of local houses had four or more bedrooms, and back-to-back showers are exactly where a storage tank gives up first, which is what instant units were built for.
Wall space is rarely the problem
Flats made up just 6.3 per cent of dwellings at the census, so most jobs are house jobs with an outside wall and real clearance to work with.
The gas supply gets checked first
Around the family streets near Telopia Avenue, a gas continuous flow unit only performs if the feed pipe and the meter can deliver enough for several outlets at once, so we size both before quoting. Where bottled gas suits a block better, an LPG unit heats the same way.
Wavell Heights Hot Water Services handles all of it under the one figure you approve.
When We're Not the Right Call
An instant electric model needs serious current behind it, and that dedicated circuit is wiring work for a licensed electrician rather than us. We confirm what your switchboard can carry, then schedule our visit around theirs so the unit can be commissioned in the same visit where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Can a continuous flow unit keep up with a big Wavell Heights household?
Yes, because flow rate sets how many taps run together, and a unit sized for the suburb's four-bedroom family homes covers back-to-back showers without the refill wait a storage tank needs.
Does an instant gas unit need a bigger gas pipe in Wavell Heights?
It does, because the burner draws hard while water runs, so we check the pipe size and the meter output at Wavell Heights homes during the quote rather than on install day.
Will an instant electric unit run off a normal circuit in a Wavell Heights house?
No, an instant electric model draws more current than a standard circuit carries, so a licensed electrician runs the dedicated wiring before the unit goes live at your place.
Can a wall unit be mounted safely near Kedron Brook?
Yes, and after the February 2022 flooding along Kedron Brook we position wall units above the level the water reached in ground-level laundries and garages on the southern flats of the suburb.
Do continuous flow units suit the character overlay streets of Wavell Heights?
They do, because Brisbane City Council's overlay governs how pre-1947 houses look, not the plumbing, so a slim wall unit on an existing outside wall rarely raises an issue with the council.
