No tank, no run-out moment
Rather than storing a fixed volume, an instant unit fires up the second a tap is turned on and keeps delivering for as long as it's needed. Ring (02) 9072 0597 to talk through whether that fits your household.
Already own a tankless unit that's playing up rather than needing a swap? Hot water repair is the page you actually want. Storage tanks and every other option are laid out on hot water too.
Small original blocks suit going tankless well
- A 1950s cottage rarely set space aside for a full-size cylinder Removing the tank altogether frees up real space in a laundry or under a stairwell that a renovation on these older blocks can genuinely use for something else.
- A lot of the soldier-settlement grid still runs its very first hot water setup When that original tank finally needs replacing, going tankless is increasingly the option households on these streets choose instead of a like-for-like swap.
- Tight side access that complicates a tank swap barely matters for a compact unit A wall-mounted instant system needs far less room to manoeuvre into place than a full cylinder ever would.
Choosing the right instant setup
Tankless covers a wider range than most people expect:
Gas-fed continuous flow
Running on an existing gas connection, this style delivers strong, steady flow suited to a whole household showering back to back, and it remains the most common instant choice on properties already connected to mains gas.
Electric continuous flow
Where gas isn't connected or isn't wanted, an electric tankless unit covers the same no-tank convenience, though sizing needs a closer look to make sure it can genuinely keep pace with a busier household.
Compact point-of-use
A smaller unit fitted close to just one bathroom or a self-contained add-on suits a targeted job, delivering hot water right where it's needed without running pipe back to the main system.
Renovations are driving a lot of this change
- Households extending a cottage near the Warringah Road corridor often reconsider hot water at the same time Freeing up the spot a tank once occupied can make room for storage or a second bathroom during a bigger renovation.
- A larger, multi-generational household changes what "enough hot water" actually means Where several people shower within the same short window each morning, a correctly sized continuous-flow unit avoids the daily scramble a small original tank never really solved.
Getting the sizing right, not just the fitting
Two issues explain most of the disappointment with a poorly chosen tankless system:
Flow rate that feels weaker than expected
A unit sized for one bathroom struggles noticeably once a second tap opens elsewhere in the house, which is exactly why actual household flow demand gets worked out before a model is chosen, not after.
Temperature dipping when a second tap opens
Two fixtures drawing from an undersized instant unit at once can pull the output temperature down, and matching the unit's capacity to genuine peak demand from the outset avoids that entirely.
Why the decision is worth thinking through properly
Going tankless suits plenty of households and disappoints others, usually for a predictable reason:
An undersized unit creates a daily frustration that's hard to reverse
Once fitted and connected, stepping back up to a bigger model means redoing work rather than a simple adjustment.
Fuel choice affects what's practical at the next upgrade
Deciding gas or electric now shapes which units are realistically on the table further down the track.
Space saved genuinely adds value beyond the hot water itself
A laundry or hallway freed of a bulky cylinder is often the detail a household notices most day to day.

Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water questions from Forestville locals
What's actually the appeal of going tankless?
Mainly the space it frees up and the fact hot water never really runs out mid-shower, which matters most on a block where every square metre of the laundry or hallway counts.
Can an instant system handle two showers running at once?
It can, provided the unit is sized for that flow rate from the outset, which is exactly why household demand gets discussed properly before a specific model is ever recommended.
Does an instant system work with an existing gas connection, or does it need electric?
Both exist and perform equally well, the real deciding factor is usually what's already connected to the property rather than the fuel type itself.
Is a compact instant unit enough for just a granny flat or ensuite?
Usually, yes, a smaller point-of-use unit sited close to a single bathroom is often the simplest way to add hot water without extending the main system.
How long does swapping a tank out for an instant system take?
Most simple swaps are done the same day, though exact timing depends on how far the new unit sits from the existing plumbing and gas or power connections.
Our cottage has very little external wall space, will that rule out an instant unit?
Rarely, compact models need surprisingly little wall area compared with a full-size tank, so tight original blocks are usually one of the better candidates for going tankless.
