Which Homes Suit Continuous Flow
A continuous flow unit warms water on its way through, so it suits some households better than a tank would. See which of these matches your place:
No tank to empty
The unit heats only what passes through, so back-to-back showers never drain it.
Wall-mounted and compact
It hangs on a wall and frees up the floor space a tank would claim.
Gas models
These need an adequate gas supply and correctly sized piping, and they run on LPG bottles where there is no reticulated gas.
Electric models
An instant electric unit draws a heavy load and needs a large dedicated supply, which is an electrician's call.
If a storage tank would suit your household better, our hot water replacement page covers the swap, and new installations handle first-time systems.
How We Fit The Unit
Every install follows the same sequence, from sizing to the final tap test:
- 1
Size it to the household
We count the outlets likely to run together and match the flow rating to them.
- 2
Confirm the supply
Gas units need enough supply pressure and pipe diameter to feed them, and on LPG we check the bottles and regulator too.
- 3
Mount and plumb
The bracket goes on the wall, isolation valves go on both water lines, and the gas connection is done under our gasfitting licence.
- 4
Set the safe temperature
A tempering valve keeps bathroom outlets at 50°C at most.
- 5
Commission and check
We open the taps, confirm the temperature at the outlets and show you how the controls work.

What Moves The Price
The figure on an instant unit moves with the job, and Local Dakabin Hot Water puts all of it in writing first:
Gas or electric
An electric model needs heavy dedicated wiring, so an electrician's cost sits on top of the plumbing.
Where it mounts
A unit on an open outside wall is a simpler job than one tucked down a narrow side passage.
The gas supply
Some lines need upsizing before they can feed a new continuous flow unit.
Valves
A tempering valve and isolation valves are part of a compliant install.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
Why Instant Suits Homes Here
Compact lots
The 2021 census counted 1,910 dwellings across the suburb, and with 57.7 per cent of them separate houses, much of the remainder is attached townhouses whose tight courtyards hold a wall-mounted unit far more easily than a tank.
Recent building
Council approvals added 291 dwellings in the five years before that census, and a fresh townhouse build often has room for nothing larger than an instant unit beside the laundry.
Gas by bottle
Where reticulated gas doesn't reach the property, bottled LPG feeds the unit instead, and we give the bottles and regulator a once-over along with everything else on the wall.
When we're not the right call
An instant electric model that needs new heavy wiring is an electrician's job, and we handle the plumbing side once the power is sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Will an instant unit fit a Dakabin townhouse courtyard?
Most continuous flow units hang on a wall and take up a fraction of the space a tank needs, which suits the compact courtyards in the townhouse rows built across Dakabin since the 2000s.
Do I need council or Unitywater approval for an instant unit?
A straight swap of one unit for another is licensed plumbing work needing no council application, though bigger changes can bring Unitywater conditions, and we handle whatever the job requires.
Can a continuous flow unit run on LPG bottles?
Yes, where a home has no reticulated gas the unit runs on bottled LPG instead, and the bottles and regulator get a proper check while we are on site.
Will one instant unit run two showers at once?
That depends on the unit's flow rating and your water pressure, so we size the model to the outlets you actually run together rather than guessing at the box on the shelf.
Does Energex need to be involved with an instant electric unit?
Yes, an instant electric model pulls a heavy electrical load and needs a dedicated circuit, so the wiring upgrade sits with a licensed electrician before the plumbing side gets connected at all.
How do I book an instant hot water install in Dakabin?
Ring (07) 3523 1856 and tell Local Dakabin Hot Water whether your home runs on gas or LPG and where the unit will hang, and we will find the earliest visit that suits you, same-day where the schedule allows.
