When running out of hot water simply isn't an option
There's no tank sitting behind an instant unit, so the fourth person in line for the bathroom gets the same temperature as the first. Call (02) 9072 0513 and this crew will talk through whether that actually suits your household.
Deciding between fuel types instead? Gas hot water systems and electric hot water systems each get their own page for the storage side of things, and a unit that's already misbehaving belongs with hot water repair.
Compact by design, which matters in a tight cupboard
New apartments built into the redeveloped site around Raleigh Park favour instant units precisely because there's no tank taking up cupboard space that could otherwise go to storage.
Small footprint, real consequences for older buildings too. A walk-up flat with barely a spare cupboard to its name suddenly has options once the unit itself takes up almost no floor space, and that matters wherever every square metre is already spoken for.
Getting flow rate and fuel type right
Instant systems aren't one-size-fits-all, and matching flow rate to the property is what actually determines whether it performs:
Reading real simultaneous demand
A single-outlet unit copes fine for one bathroom running alone, but a household drawing hot water at the kitchen sink and the shower at once needs a higher flow rate, so this crew calculates simultaneous draw rather than guessing.
Gas versus electric instant
Gas versions typically push out more flow for roughly the same size, whereas electric makes more sense on a property with no gas meter at all, and this crew walks you through which one genuinely fits before quoting either.
Fitting into an existing cupboard
Pulling out an old tank in favour of a slim instant unit usually frees up real cupboard space, and this crew maps out where that reclaimed space could actually go before the old tank's even disconnected.
Venting and clearance done properly
A gas instant unit still needs correct flue clearance even mounted flat against an external wall, and this crew gets that measurement right before installation day, not as an afterthought once it's already up.
Where unpredictable demand makes instant the sensible pick
Share housing near UNSW rarely runs on a single tidy shower schedule, several people getting ready inside the same short window is normal rather than the exception.
An instant system sidesteps that problem entirely, because it was never relying on a fixed volume lasting until the last person's turn, it just keeps producing hot water for as long as a tap stays open.
Instant system decisions worth getting right
Undersized flow for a busy household
A single-outlet unit fitted into a share house with several bathrooms running at once leaves someone with a lukewarm trickle, and sizing the flow rate properly solves it, rather than writing the unit off as faulty.
Retrofitting without checking gas supply
Swapping an old tank for a higher-output gas instant unit sometimes needs a larger gas run to actually deliver its rated flow, something worth confirming before the unit's ordered, not once it's already on the wall underperforming.
Why getting the sizing wrong costs more than the unit
An undersized instant system doesn't fail outright, it just quietly disappoints every single day until someone finally asks why the shower never really gets properly hot:
A weak flow rate shows up daily, not occasionally
Every simultaneous draw, dishes and a shower at once, becomes a small daily frustration rather than a one-off inconvenience worth mentioning.
An undersized gas run limits the unit's own rating
A system connected to supply that can't feed it properly never reaches the output it was actually bought for.
A cramped, badly vented install risks a compliance fail
Getting flue clearance wrong on a gas instant unit can turn a routine check into an unplanned callback.
How it works
Fitting an instant system, step by step
- 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
Match flow rate to the household
Your plumber calculates genuine simultaneous demand, recommends gas or electric based on what the property can actually support, and fits the unit so it delivers its full rated output rather than an optimistic number on a spec sheet.

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 Kensington
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 Kensington 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.
Where we work
Areas we service
Kingsford, Randwick, Eastlakes, Daceyville, Centennial Park and Maroubra properties get instant units fitted just as carefully, each one sized to the household rather than picked off a shelf.
Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water questions Kensington share houses ask
How much does an instant hot water system cost?
It varies with flow rate and gas or electric, and the actual figure only gets settled once the household's genuine draw has been worked out and put in writing for you to approve.
Does an instant system really never run out of hot water?
Correct, the unit warms water in the moment rather than drawing down a limited supply, so a household showering one after another isn't racing a clock the way a tank forces them to.
Will an instant unit fit in a small walk-up flat's existing cupboard?
Usually, since it's far more compact than a storage tank, though this crew still checks clearance and venting before confirming it'll actually slot into the space you've got.
Are instant hot water systems more expensive to run than a tank?
Not typically, since you're only paying to heat what's actually flowing through the tap, instead of a tank sitting there warm all day regardless of whether a single shower happens.
Does the warranty cover an instant unit once it's fitted?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty applies to the workmanship on every instant system fitted here, so a genuine installation fault gets corrected without a second invoice ever appearing.
Share house near UNSW with four people wanting showers before 9am, would instant actually help?
Genuinely, yes, because it doesn't care how many showers run one after another, which solves the exact problem a fixed-size tank struggles with most mornings.
