A real person answers, day or night
Water heated the moment a tap opens, nothing stored, nothing wasted
An instant unit only heats what's actually being drawn, so there's no tank to run dry partway through a busy morning. Ring (02) 9072 0511 and we'll size a model honestly against how the household really uses hot water.
Prefer to stick with a tank? A gas or electric storage system remains the sensible pick for plenty of households, and the full comparison sits on the hot water overview.
Why instant comes up so often on renovated ridge blocks
A second-storey addition along streets like Koorangi Avenue and Allawah Avenue usually brings a new bathroom with nowhere obvious to fit a bigger tank
Original 1964 blocks weren't built with generous side access in mind
Three decisions that make or break an instant install
Which fuel it runs on, how much flow it delivers and where the box ends up bolted: nail those three and the household stops thinking about hot water altogether.
Gas, for households that never stop drawing
A gas unit keeps output steady no matter how long the tap stays running, which suits a busy household better than any tank could, since supply simply doesn't run short partway through a long shower.
Electric, for a clean install with no new gas run
Skipping gas altogether avoids trenching a new line across the block, so an electric unit is the pragmatic pick wherever the property has no existing gas connection worth extending.
Flow rating, worked out fixture by fixture
We count every tap and shower that might genuinely run at the same moment, because a two-bathroom household needs a unit rated well above what a single-shower home would ever call on.
Mounting spot, chosen for the long run
Clearance for servicing and shelter from prevailing weather both get settled before installation day, since the wall a unit ends up on shapes how reliably it performs for years afterward.
A colder, breezier ridge asks more of an instant unit
Instant systems run on live flow rather than stored heat, so exposure to wind and cold matters more here than it would on a sheltered, low-lying block:
- Winter groundwater running into the unit starts colder up here than down near Warriewood Recovery gets sized with that colder starting point in mind rather than a generic mild-climate figure.
- An exposed external wall cops more wind than a sheltered courtyard position Where the layout allows it, tucking the unit out of direct wind keeps performance steadier through the coldest months.
Instant hot water problems worth knowing about
A second tap steals the pressure
Weaker flow the second someone else turns a tap on almost always means the household has simply grown past what the unit was ever rated for. A model chosen for today's actual usage clears the problem permanently.
A momentary chill between two showers back to back
Older units sometimes lose the flame or the heating cycle for an instant between one draw ending and the next beginning, giving a brief cold burst. Newer models with better ignition control mostly eliminate that gap.
Comparing this against a tank? The hot water replacement page covers straight swaps if that's a better fit for the household.
Getting the sizing right avoids the usual regrets
Get the rating right at the outset and most of the common instant-system gripes never surface at all:
- A thin-feeling shower is rarely a broken unit More often it's the wrong rating for a house that's grown, and correcting the size beats swapping in another unit of the same capacity.
- Nothing heats until a tap is actually opened That single fact rules out the standing loss a full tank carries around the clock, whether or not anyone's home to use it.
- Whatever space the old tank claimed goes back to the household A side passage, laundry corner or cupboard that's been off-limits for decades becomes usable again once the swap's done.
How it works
Choosing and fitting an instant system, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Fixed up and put under real load
The unit is mounted where agreed, every line it needs, be that gas, power, water or flue, gets tied in, and we finish by running several fixtures at once to prove the flow doesn't drop under genuine pressure.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.

Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water questions Elanora Heights locals ask
We're adding a bathroom upstairs, can one instant unit genuinely cover both levels running at once?
Yes, but only if that exact overlap is factored in from the outset, working out the combined draw across every fixture that could genuinely be going simultaneously, then matching a model to that total.
Does the colder weather up here on the ridge affect how an instant unit performs?
It can influence recovery slightly on the coldest mornings, so we account for winter groundwater temperature when sizing rather than working off a mild-climate average that undersells the unit.
Is gas or electric the better choice for an instant system on this ridge?
It mostly comes down to whether gas already reaches the property and how many fixtures typically run together, so we'll lay out both options honestly rather than steer you toward the one that's easier for us to fit.
Our tank is on its way out, could an instant unit take over that spot instead?
In most cases, yes, so long as the water pressure and whatever's already feeding that position, gas or electricity, are rated highly enough, an instant unit takes over the footprint the old tank leaves clear.
Does an outdoor-mounted unit need anything extra because of the exposed position up here?
Generally yes, a sheltered mounting position and proper weatherproofing help, since an exposed ridge wall puts more strain on a unit than a more sheltered position lower down would.
What happens if a recently installed instant unit stops working properly?
You're protected from both directions, the manufacturer covers defects in the appliance, and separately, our fitting work is guaranteed for the life of the job no matter which fuel source powers the unit.
