Why a Flow Unit Suits Apartment Living
A continuous flow system holds no water at all. A heat exchanger inside the body warms the supply as it passes through, so it keeps going for as long as a tap stays open. That shape suits apartment life here better than a cylinder does, though a few checks settle whether one fits your place.
Gas models
need a supply line and meter that can carry the draw, plus a flue that reaches open air.
Electric models
want a heavy supply of their own, which puts the circuit work in an electrician's hands before any plumbing starts.
The flow rating
sets how many outlets run at the same time, so a shower plus the kitchen tap wants a bigger model than a shower alone.
Wall space
is the whole footprint, which pays off exactly where a floor cylinder would never squeeze in.
If your current unit might still have life in it, the hot water repairs page covers part-level fixes first, and a swap only makes sense once the tank is beyond saving.
Fitting the Unit, Step by Step
- 1
Confirm the supply
We measure the gas line and meter capacity, or flag the heavy circuit an electrician needs to build, before anything gets opened up.
- 2
Mount and connect
The unit hangs on its bracket, and we fit isolation valves so any later service can happen without shutting down the household.
- 3
Set the delivery temperature
The unit is adjusted, and a tempering valve caps bath and shower water at 50°C while the unit itself runs hotter.
- 4
Run the taps
We test every outlet, check the temperature holds steady under load, and show you the controls before we leave.

What Decides Your Figure
The model you pick and what it hangs beside drive most of the cost, and Newstead Hot Water Services checks each of these on site before pricing.
- Gas versus electric, because the connection work at the wall differs completely.
- Where the unit goes, since a high-rise cupboard involves lift access arranged with your strata while a ground-floor wall does not.
- Flue runs or gas pipe upgrades, where existing services fall short of what the new unit needs.
- The flow rating you choose, matched to how many outlets will run at once.
Your hot water job is priced up front as a fixed quote, and no work begins until you've agreed to it. We work on flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays. You can also fix now, pay later.
Flow Units in Apartment Country
Small households want small gear
The census counted an average of 1.7 people to a household here, so a flow unit serving one or two outlets covers the shower and the kitchen without a cylinder taking up cupboard floor at all.
The heritage survivors get a look in
A few homes from the 1800s still stand near Newstead House, and in those tight rooms a wall-hung body leaves floor space a cylinder would swallow whole.
First-generation plant is reaching the wall
Newstead Hot Water Services fits flow units in towers across the redeveloped riverfront, where hot water plant that has run since the early 2000s is due, and going continuous flow retires the old cylinder for good.
Once a system is past the point of a part swap rather than being upgraded, the hot water replacement page covers the end-of-life decision, and the installation page handles a first-time supply or a renovation.
When We're Not the Right Call
An electric flow unit cannot share ordinary household wiring. If your switchboard has no spare capacity for its heavy supply, that circuit is an electrician's job from start to finish, and we plan our pipework around their visit rather than touching it ourselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Does the Energex supply matter for an electric flow unit?
An electric flow unit draws more power than ordinary wiring delivers, so circuit upgrades are an electrician's job, and we schedule our plumbing work around their visit so the one installation day covers everything.
Can a flow unit go outside under the council flood maps?
Yes, an outdoor unit can be wall hung, and because council's flood maps touch most of this suburb, we set it well above the river and creek levels those maps show.
Does Urban Utilities water pressure change the outcome?
Flow units heat water as it moves, so the pressure Urban Utilities' mains deliver shapes how many taps run well at once, and we test your supply before we quote the unit.
Do the older homes near Breakfast Creek suit a flow unit?
Yes, in the handful of older homes still standing near Newstead House, a wall mounted unit keeps hot water coming without crowding the tight rooms those buildings were drawn with.
How long does a flow unit install take in these towers?
Most flow unit installs inside these riverside towers run to the best part of a day, since lift bookings and strata access usually shape the timetable as much as the work.
