Why a Flow Unit Suits Small Homes
A continuous flow unit heats water only as it flows, so there is no tank to run dry and no cylinder taking up floor space. That shape suits compact homes well, and a few points are worth knowing before you pick one:
No stored water
The heater warms water on its way through the heat exchanger, so the shower never goes cold because the tank emptied.
Flow rate sets the limit
How many taps run together comes down to the unit's flow rating, so we size it to your household rather than guess.
Gas or electric feed
A gas model needs enough supply and a pipe wide enough to feed it; an electric one pulls a heavy load and needs its own circuit.
Wall-mounted and compact
The unit hangs on a wall with an isolation valve beside it, which frees the laundry or cupboard floor a tank would claim.
How We Fit a Continuous Flow Unit
Fitting runs to a short sequence, and each stage is checked before the next begins:
Storage tanks sit on the other side of the fence, and our hot water installation and hot water replacement pages cover those jobs if a cylinder is what your home needs.
- 1
Size the unit to the household
We count the outlets likely to run together, because the flow rating has to cover the morning rush.
- 2
Check the feed
A gas model gets its supply and pipe width measured; an electric one needs its dedicated circuit sorted before anything is ordered.
- 3
Mount and connect
We hang the unit, connect the isolation valve and the gas or water lines, and run the flue where a gas model needs one.
- 4
Set and test
We set the temperature, confirm the tempering valve holds bath and shower water at 50°C or less, and run the taps with you there.

Pricing a Continuous Flow Job
Lutwyche Hot Water Services prices a flow unit on the details that actually change the work:
Gas or electric
A gas connection is licensed gasfitting, while an electric model's circuit needs an electrician, and that difference shapes the job.
The state of your pipes
Old or narrow supply lines sometimes need replacing for the unit to perform, and we check before quoting.
Where it mounts
An outside wall with a short flue run is a simpler fit than a tight interior cupboard.
Valves and extras
A tempering valve, a new isolation valve or a gas point relocation each add their own step.
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 in Lutwyche Homes
Small households, compact homes
Census figures put the median age here at 32, a young professional crowd living mostly in rental flats, and a wall-hung unit frees the floor a cylinder would take in exactly those homes.
Old pipe, weak flow
Galvanised steel supply lines survive in a handful of early-1920s cottages around Wesley Street, and they throttle flow twice over: poor pressure at the tap and a feed too narrow to run the heater properly.
Quotes that travel
With so many tenancies in these blocks, the fixed quote is written so an owner or agent can approve it without standing in your laundry.
When We're Not the Right Call
An electric flow model draws a heavy current, so the dedicated circuit it needs calls for a licensed electrician, and we would send you that way first rather than quote work that is not ours to do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7158Will a continuous flow unit run two showers at once in a Lutwyche unit?
Yes, within the limits of flow rate, which decides how many outlets run together; a unit sized for two showers copes, while a smaller one may need the kitchen tap closed.
Can old galvanised pipes handle a continuous flow unit here?
Galvanised steel chokes flow and can be too narrow to feed the heater properly, so for older homes here we check the pipe run and include any replacement in the fixed quote.
Is gas or electric better for an instant system here?
Gas models suit homes with a meter or bottle space and give strong flow, while electric units need a heavy dedicated circuit, so gas usually wins where supply allows here.
Do I need council approval to swap a tank for a flow unit?
Swapping a tank for a continuous flow unit on the same wall rarely involves the council, though relocating it or adding a flue can, and we check before the quote is written.
Does an instant electric unit need an Energex upgrade?
An electric continuous flow model pulls a heavy load, so we check that the switchboard and the Energex supply can carry it, and an electrician handles any new circuit.
