Where A Flow Unit Earns Its Keep
Both gas and electric flow units have their place, and the right one depends on the house:
Units and townhouses
A wall-hung unit leaves the floor free, which matters where space is tight.
Households that hate running out
Nothing empties, because the water heats as it flows; the flow rate sets how many outlets run at once.
Homes with gas already connected
A gas unit needs adequate supply and pipe size, and we check both before quoting.
Renovations and relocations
Adding a unit where none existed, or moving one, is installation work covered on our hot water installation page.
How We Fit A Flow Unit
A typical install runs in four steps, from first look to hot taps:
- 1
Measure what feeds it
Gas means pressure and pipe size; electric means the load the house can carry, and we flag any upgrade at the quote.
- 2
Pick the mounting spot
Wall space, clearances and distance from windows decide where the unit hangs, and we confirm the spot suits the household.
- 3
Run the connections
Cold supply through a new isolation valve, a tempering valve set so bathroom water holds at 50°C, and the gas connection and flue where the unit calls for one.
- 4
Test and hand back
We open each outlet, confirm the temperature holds steady, and show you how the controls work.

What Moves The Price
Four things move the figure on a flow unit job:
Gas or electric
A gas unit may need pipe upsizing; an electric one may need a circuit an electrician has to build.
Position and flue
A long flue run or an awkward wall adds work.
Flow rate
Bigger households need a higher-capacity unit, which sits higher in the range.
Valves and fittings
Worn isolation or tempering valves on the supply side are best replaced while we are there.
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 Around Stafford City
Flats and infill blocks
At the last census, 24.2 per cent of the suburb's dwellings were flats or apartments, and much of that stock clusters near Stafford City, where a wall-hung unit often fits where a cylinder never could.
No main on the street?
Where a street has no gas main, a flow unit runs on bottled LPG instead, and we quote the bottles and regulator into the job rather than leaving you to arrange them.
A mixed streetscape
Postcode install records list plenty of solar and heat pump equipment already in place, so a brand-new flow unit can sit a few doors from a tank of a very different vintage. Local Stafford Hot Water works across that whole mix.
When we're not the right call: an electric flow unit pulls more current than most switchboards can spare, so the circuit upgrade is an electrician's call, and we name it at the quote.
And if the existing system has simply worn out rather than being upgraded, our hot water replacement page covers that decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Can a continuous flow unit keep up with back-to-back showers?
It can, up to the unit's flow rate, which decides how many outlets work at the same time, and we size the unit so two showers and a kitchen tap run together.
Does an instant gas unit need a bigger gas line than a storage cylinder?
Often yes, because a continuous flow gas unit needs enough supply and pipe size to feed its burner, and we test the capacity of the existing gas line before we quote.
Will a wall-hung unit suit the tight infill blocks near Stafford City?
Usually, because hanging the unit on a wall frees the floor a cylinder would claim, and on the tight infill blocks near Stafford City that floor is often the only storage the place has.
Does Urban Utilities play any part in an instant hot water swap?
No, the connection sits on your property's plumbing, and Urban Utilities only enters the picture when the fault is in their water main rather than your pipes, so we handle the unit end to end.
Can an electric flow unit run on an Energex off-peak supply?
No, an electric flow unit needs a heavy dedicated supply whenever it heats, and Energex off-peak timing suits storage tanks instead, so we check what the switchboard can spare before promising anything.
