Where Continuous Flow Units Fit
A continuous flow unit holds no tank at all. Cold water passes through a heat exchanger, the burner or element fires when a tap opens, and hot water keeps coming until you close it. That makes the format a good match for:
- Households tired of a tank draining during back-to-back showers
- Units and flats with no room for a storage cylinder
- Holiday places that sit empty for weeks, because nothing stagnates in a tank
- Running the dishwasher and a shower together, provided the unit is matched to the outlets
The limit is flow rate. One unit heats only so much water per minute, so a small unit running two showers at once will struggle. We match the unit to the outlets you actually use rather than guessing.
Choosing between fixing what you have and starting fresh is covered on our hot water replacement page, and sizing a unit for a new build or renovation sits on the hot water installation page.
How We Fit One
- 1
Confirm the energy feed
A gas unit needs enough volume from the meter or bottle bank to fire at full heat, and we check that before ordering anything.
- 2
Pick the wall
Outdoor mounts go where the flue gets clear air and the pipe run to your bathrooms stays short.
- 3
Hang and connect
We mount the unit, fit fresh isolation valves on the water lines, and complete the gas connection under our gasfitting licence.
- 4
Test and set
We run each outlet, set the temperature, and confirm the tempering valve holds bathroom water to 50°C.

$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.
What Moves The Price
- Gas or electric, because a gas unit adds flue run and gas pipe work an electric one never needs
- Pipe sizing, since an undersized gas run starves the burner and has to be redone properly
- The wall it hangs on, because a second-storey mount or a tight side passage takes longer than an open yard
- What the old system leaves behind, from pipework to cap to a cylinder to pull out
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 On This Headland
The flat stock suits the format
Census figures show that 29 per cent of local homes are flats or apartments, many of them the 2000s beachside blocks with cramped laundries. A unit hung on an outside wall leaves the cupboard a cylinder would swallow.
Smaller households match smaller units
The census puts the median age here at 53, and plenty of homes run one or two bathrooms. A compact unit meets that demand without holding heated water nobody draws until evening.
Salt decides the hardware
Water wraps around three sides of this headland, and the salt it carries settles on outdoor fittings well past the beachfront. Scarborough Hot Water Services picks brackets and valves built to resist corrosion, and we settle that at the quote, not after the unit is on the wall.
When We're Not The Right Call
An instant electric unit draws a heavy dedicated feed, and running that new circuit from the switchboard is a licensed electrician's job, not ours. We will name that gap on the phone and point you to a licensed electrician instead of quoting work outside our licence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736Will a continuous flow unit run cold mid-shower in Scarborough?
No, because the unit heats water only when a tap opens rather than drawing from a tank, so the last shower runs as hot as the first once the unit is sized to your outlets.
Does salt air near Queens Beach shorten an instant unit's life?
It can, because salt carried on the wind reaches outdoor fittings well beyond the beach at Queens Beach, so we choose brackets and valves that resist corrosion and name that choice when quoting.
Is LPG an option for a gas continuous flow unit in Scarborough?
Yes, bottle supply with a regulator suits gas units where no metered connection exists, and we confirm which arrangement your Scarborough place has before any pipe run gets sized for the job.
Do the beachside flats near the foreshore suit a wall-hung unit?
They do, because a wall-hung unit frees the cupboard a storage cylinder would fill, and the beachside buildings from the 2000s here were built with compact laundries that leave little floor space.
Does the Unitywater supply affect an instant unit in Scarborough?
It does, because flow rate depends on the Unitywater connection as much as the unit, so we check what your supply delivers before recommending a model to match here in Scarborough.
