No tank, no wait, no running out mid-shower
Instead of keeping a set volume heated and waiting, an instant unit warms each litre the moment it's called for, so the household genuinely doesn't come up short no matter how many showers stack up back to back. Call (02) 9072 0513 to talk through whether that fits the property.
Considering something else? An old storage tank swap gets picked up on the replacement page, with gas-specific detail sitting separately under gas systems.
Where a tighter block makes instant the obvious pick
Newer townhouses and rebuilds rising along the Bunnerong Road corridor and toward the suburb's western edge near the banksia scrub remnant rarely have a sensible spot to tuck away a bulky storage cylinder.
- Wall-mounted units solve a real space problem An instant unit fixes to an external wall with none of the footprint a large tank demands, useful on a compact rebuild block.
- A townhouse strata layout benefits particularly Shared walls and tight service areas make a compact unit fixed to an external wall far easier to place than a freestanding tank ever would be.
Sizing and choosing the right instant unit
Sizing an instant system properly hinges on three factors this crew works through with every household before quoting, whether it's a first install or a switch away from an ageing tank:
Flow rate and fixture count
Getting the flow rate right against the household's actual number of bathrooms and taps running at once is the single biggest factor in whether an instant system feels genuinely seamless day to day, so this crew sizes to real usage, not a guess.
Gas versus electric instant
Gas instant units suit a property already connected to reticulated gas, while electric instant options work where running a gas line isn't practical, and this crew explains the genuine trade-offs before either direction is recommended.
Indoor versus outdoor mounting
An outdoor wall-mounted unit needs weatherproofing and, on a coastal-facing block, fittings chosen for salt resistance, while an indoor installation trades that exposure for a slightly more involved venting and clearance requirement.
A family suburb wanting hot water that keeps up
The mostly-family household mix here, clustered around streets feeding into the local schools, means mornings often involve two or three showers running in quick succession before the school run.
- Peak demand is the real test A household with teenagers showering back to back puts more strain on a system than any single long shower ever does.
- Continuous flow removes the guesswork Rather than timing showers around a tank's recovery rate, an instant system simply keeps delivering as long as the taps stay open.
- Sizing still matters even with unlimited hot water An undersized instant unit can still struggle if two showers and a kitchen tap all draw at once, which is why fixture count comes first.
Good questions, straight answers
Common questions before choosing instant
Cold-water sandwich effect
A brief cold burst when the tap's turned back on quickly is a known quirk of some instant units rather than a fault, and this crew can explain which models minimise it before installation.
Undersizing for the household
An instant unit sized for a smaller household than actually lives there struggles the moment two fixtures run together, which is why an honest fixture count matters more than the price tag on the box. Not sure instant is the right fit? The hot water page runs through gas, electric and instant side by side, and installation covers the fresh-connection detail for a rebuild.
Why sizing an instant system properly matters
Getting an instant system's sizing wrong doesn't show up immediately, it shows up the first busy morning it can't keep pace, and by then the household's already living with the shortfall:
A unit that's too small lets the household down repeatedly
Unlike a tank that simply runs low once in a while, an undersized instant unit hits its limit at the same busy moment, morning after morning.
Poor placement shortens working life
Mounting a unit somewhere exposed without weather-appropriate fittings sees it age noticeably quicker than one sited and specified with the location in mind from the outset.
Getting it right once avoids a second install
A properly sized system installed correctly the first time removes any need to revisit the decision for years.
How it works
How an instant install runs, start to finish
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0513 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Size and mount the unit
We match the model's flow capacity to how many fixtures actually run in the household, mount and connect it to the gas or electric supply as required, and commission it fully before confirming performance meets what was promised.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Chifley
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Chifley works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Sizing an instant unit properly the first time is where that standard actually shows.

Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water questions Chifley locals ask
New townhouse going up near Bunnerong Road, does an instant system actually suit a smaller footprint block?
Very well, an instant unit skips the storage tank entirely, which suits a townhouse or a tighter rebuild block where there's genuinely nowhere convenient to fit a bulky cylinder.
Will an instant system keep up with two bathrooms running at once?
That comes down to the unit's rated flow, which is exactly why this crew sizes each system against the household's real fixture count instead of guessing, sidestepping the common trap of an install too small for a busy morning.
Is an instant system a straightforward swap for an old storage tank?
Not quite a straight swap, gas supply and venting requirements differ enough that the connection point usually needs adjusting, though the job itself is still generally finished in the one visit.
Does an instant unit cope with the salt air near the Malabar coast?
Moderately well if the model and mounting are chosen with that exposure in mind, an outdoor instant unit closer to the coast still benefits from corrosion-resistant fittings over the lowest-priced option on the shelf.
What's the realistic working life of an instant unit?
Well maintained, an instant unit commonly outlasts a comparable storage tank, since there's no large water volume sitting inside a tank to corrode from the inside over the years.
Is it worth switching to instant during a bathroom renovation rather than waiting for a full rebuild?
Yes, a renovation is actually a common trigger for switching to instant, since the walls and pipework are already opened up, letting the connection get done alongside everything else rather than as a separate visit.
