Where A Flow Unit Suits
A flow unit earns its keep in specific situations, and these are the common ones:
Endless supply at peak
Water heats only while it is passing through, so the last shower never runs a cylinder cold, and the flow rate decides how many taps run together.
Wall mount instead of slab
The whole system hangs on the wall, keeping the ground beside the house free for a garden shed or a stretch of garden.
Gas supply to match
A gas flow unit needs a gas line with enough capacity behind it, and where the existing run is small we upsize the pipe before quoting.
Electric circuit first
An electric flow unit pulls a big current through the switchboard, and a dedicated circuit for it is an electrician's job before we connect anything.
Where a storage tank suits the household better, the hot water replacement page covers the swap, and hot water installation covers a brand-new system where none exists.
How We Fit A Flow Unit
Local Upper Kedron Hot Water works through the job in four steps:
- 1
Check the supply first
We measure the gas line or confirm the electrical capacity, because a flow unit only performs when the supply feeding it matches the demand you put on it.
- 2
Mount and connect
The unit goes on the wall, isolation valves go either side, and a tempering valve keeps the water delivered to the taps at 50°C.
- 3
Commission and test
We run hot water at the taps, check ignition and flow, and watch the temperature hold steady under back-to-back use.
- 4
Hand over the controls
You get the settings explained and the warning signs worth knowing before we leave you to it.

What Moves The Price Of A Flow Unit
The figure depends on the job:
- The fuel, because gas and electric connections involve different supply work.
- Where the unit mounts, since a recessed wall or a long pipe run adds labour.
- What feeds it, whether that means upsizing a gas run or bringing in an electrician for the switchboard work.
- The valves and fittings the job needs, including isolation valves and the tempering valve.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Flow Units On These Hills
Sizing for full houses
At the last census, dwellings with four or more bedrooms reached 88.3 per cent, and a house that size often runs two showers while the kitchen tap is open, which is when a flow unit's capacity shows.
Room where the blocks slope
Ellendale's homes sit beside the D'Aguilar National Park on lots that slope, and a wall-mounted unit leaves the small level pad free for gardens, sheds or play space.
Homes that have already upgraded
Postcode records list 1,588 heat pump and 1,221 solar hot water installs, so a good share of households here have already swapped out a starter cylinder once, and a flow unit is a familiar next move when the old one gives out.
When an existing unit fails
If a flow unit already on the wall has stopped working, hot water repairs is the place to start.
When A Flow Unit Needs An Electrician
Wiring a dedicated circuit or upgrading a switchboard for an electric flow unit is not the right call for our team, because that wiring is a licensed electrician's work, not ours. Once the supply side is sorted, Local Upper Kedron Hot Water handles the plumbing and gasfitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Does an instant gas unit need a gas supply in Upper Kedron?
Yes, because the burner needs gas to heat the water, and where a property has no gas connection LPG bottles run a flow unit instead, with the supply line sized to the household.
Will one flow unit run two showers at once?
It depends on the unit's capacity, because a flow system heats only what passes through it, so we match the model to the showers and taps your household runs together at the morning peak.
Does an instant electric unit need a new circuit on the Energex supply?
Yes, because an electric flow unit draws a heavy load that calls for its own circuit on the Energex supply, and switchboard wiring of that kind is work for a licensed electrician, not us.
Do the newer Ellendale homes suit continuous flow units?
They can, because hanging the unit on the wall keeps the slab clear on those steep blocks, and the gas or electrical supply gets checked before the quote so the unit performs as promised.
What size flow unit suits an average Upper Kedron household?
Census figures put the average Upper Kedron household at 3.2 people, but we size to the outlets your household runs at once rather than the headcount, so two overlapping showers need more capacity than one.
