Where a Flow Unit Fits
A wall-mounted instantaneous unit suits a different set of homes than a cylinder does, and it is worth knowing which camp yours falls into.
Never runs out
Water heats inside the heat exchanger on its way through, so the last shower of the evening is as hot as the first.
Takes up almost no room
The unit hangs on a wall and frees the floor a cylinder hogs, which matters in flats and tight laundries.
Sized to outlets, not capacity
Flow rate decides how many taps run at once, so we pick a unit that covers the outlets your household actually uses.
Gas or electric
Gas models need enough gas supply and pipe size behind them, while electric models need heavy wiring we flag early.
How We Fit a Flow Unit
Zillmere Same Day Hot Water fits and repairs both types, and the job runs the same way every time.
- We check the services first: the gas pipe size and meter capacity for a gas unit, or the power supply question for an electric one.
- We mount the unit on the wall or an outside bracket, connect the water lines and fit isolation valves on either side.
- We run the flue for a gas model, or hand the wiring question to the electrician for an electric one before anything is hung.
- We set the controls, fit or check the tempering valve so bathroom taps stay at 50°C, and test every outlet with you standing there.
What Shapes an Instant Hot Water Quote
Zillmere Same Day Hot Water prices the whole visit before starting, and four things move the number on a flow unit:
- Whether the gas meter and pipework can feed the unit or want upsizing first
- The heavy circuit an electric model draws, which an electrician prices separately
- The mounting spot and the flue run a gas unit needs
- Water pressure, and whether a pressure-limiting or tempering valve has to go in with it
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.
Flow Units on Zillmere's Postwar Blocks
Old pipes limit flow
In the earliest fifties houses and the surviving cottages from the farming days, the water often travels through galvanised steel that has narrowed with decades of scale. An instantaneous unit needs steady pressure and decent flow to do its job, so we test the line before recommending one.
Walls weren't planned for it
The prefab Housing Commission houses and the infill that followed went up long before wall-hung units were common, so mounting points, clearances and pipe routes all get checked before we settle on a position.
Renting shapes the timing
With so many tenancies in this pocket, flow units often go in between leases or right after a failure, and the first phone call is often from the agent managing the place.
When We're Not the Right Call
The power side comes first. An electric flow unit pulls a load ordinary house wiring cannot carry. If the switchboard or the circuit behind it needs upgrading, ring a licensed electrician, then come back to us for the water side.
An old cylinder that is beyond saving is a hot water replacement job, and a unit for a renovation or a fresh build falls under hot water installation. For the gas side in detail, see gas hot water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736Will a gas flow unit run two showers at once?
It depends on the flow rate the unit and its gas supply can carry, and we size the unit around your outlets so a second shower does not starve the first.
Can an instantaneous unit replace a dead cylinder in a Zillmere postwar house?
Yes, and on these fifties and sixties blocks the swap often frees floor space, though we always check the gas pipe size or power supply before we quote the changeover.
Does galvanised plumbing in the older streets affect a flow unit?
It can, because narrowed steel supply lines restrict the water flow an instantaneous unit needs, so we test pressure at the tap and flag any repiping before we quote the job.
Do electric flow units work in Zillmere's unit blocks?
Only where the switchboard can carry the heavy load they draw, and that wiring is an electrician's call first, and we quote the water connections once the power side clears.
Does an Energex supply matter for an instantaneous gas unit?
A little, because modern gas flow units draw mains power for their ignition and controls, so we check the nearby circuit as part of the visit even though the heating runs on gas.
