Based in Quinns Rocks, our experienced plumbers and gas fitters can assess your existing hot water system, household requirements and available services to help determine whether an instantaneous or continuous flow hot water system is suitable for your property.

Whether you’re replacing an ageing unit, experiencing problems with your existing system or considering an upgrade, we can help you find the right hot water solution for your home.

What Is an Instant Hot Water System?

An instant hot water system is designed to heat water when it is required rather than continuously storing heated water inside a tank.

These systems are also commonly referred to as:

Instantaneous hot water systems
Continuous flow hot water systems
Tankless hot water systems
On-demand hot water systems

When you turn on a hot water outlet, water flows through the unit and is heated before being delivered to the tap or shower.

Once the outlet is turned off, the system stops heating the water.

How Do Instant Hot Water Systems Work?

Rather than maintaining a tank of heated water throughout the day and night, a continuous flow system activates when hot water is required.

The system detects water flowing through the unit and begins heating it. The heated water is then delivered through the property’s existing hot water pipework.

Because the system isn’t limited by the capacity of a storage tank, an appropriately sized unit can provide a continuous supply of hot water.

However, correct sizing is important. A system that isn’t suited to the property’s hot water demand may struggle when several outlets are being used simultaneously.

Benefits of Instant Hot Water Systems

Instantaneous hot water systems can offer several advantages for Perth households.

Depending on the property and type of system installed, benefits can include:

Hot water produced on demand
No large storage tank
Compact installation
Continuous hot water from an appropriately sized system
Reduced energy associated with maintaining stored hot water
Suitable options for different household sizes
Replacement options for ageing hot water systems

An instant system isn’t automatically the best solution for every property, which is why the existing plumbing, available services and household requirements should be assessed before selecting a new unit.

Gas Instantaneous Hot Water Systems

Gas continuous flow hot water systems are a popular option for properties with a suitable gas supply.

Rather than storing hot water, the unit uses gas to heat water as it passes through the system.

The capacity of the unit needs to be matched to the property’s requirements. A household with multiple bathrooms and several people using hot water at the same time will generally require a different system from a smaller household.

Bright Water Plumbing & Gas can assess the existing gas supply and plumbing before recommending an appropriate system.

Choosing the Right Instant Hot Water System

Choosing the right instantaneous system involves more than selecting a particular brand.

Important considerations can include:

Number of people living in the property
Number of bathrooms
Number of hot water outlets
Likelihood of multiple outlets being used simultaneously
Existing gas or energy supply
Existing plumbing
Available installation location
Current hot water system
Household hot water usage

Correct system selection is particularly important with continuous flow units because their ability to supply multiple outlets depends on their flow capacity.

Our team can assess these factors before recommending an appropriate solution.

Replacing an Existing Instant Hot Water Unit

Instantaneous systems don’t last forever.

As units age, homeowners may begin experiencing performance or reliability problems.

Signs your system may need professional attention can include:

Inconsistent water temperature
Hot water unexpectedly turning cold
System regularly cutting out
Reduced hot water performance
Difficulty supplying several outlets
Unusual noises
Repeated faults or repairs
An older unit becoming unreliable

These symptoms don’t necessarily mean the complete system needs replacing.

Bright Water Plumbing & Gas can inspect the unit to determine whether servicing, repair or replacement is the appropriate option.

Can I Replace a Storage Hot Water System With an Instant System?

In some properties, yes.

However, replacing a traditional storage system with an instantaneous system isn’t necessarily a straightforward like-for-like replacement.

The existing installation needs to be considered, including the property’s plumbing, gas supply where applicable, proposed unit location and household hot water requirements.

Alterations may be required depending on the existing system and the type of replacement being installed.

Having the property assessed before purchasing a new unit helps ensure the selected system is appropriate for the home.

Instant Hot Water System Installation

Correct installation is important for the safety, performance and reliability of any hot water system.

Bright Water Plumbing & Gas provides professional instant hot water system installation for homeowners requiring both replacement systems and new installations.

Depending on the property, installation can involve:

Removal of the existing hot water unit
Installation of the new instantaneous system
Plumbing alterations where required
Gas plumbing where applicable
Connection to existing hot water pipework
Testing of the completed installation

Our team can inspect the existing setup and explain what is required before installation proceeds.

Regular servicing can help maintain the reliable operation of your hot water system and identify developing problems before they result in a complete loss of hot water.
