A real person answers, day or night
Endless showers, no tank, no waiting around
A continuous flow unit fires up only when a tap opens, so the hot water literally never runs out, no matter how many back-to-back showers your household throws at it. Call (02) 9072 0528 and we will tell you honestly whether tankless suits your home.
Why tankless suits this suburb's housing stock
- Tight spaces Walk-up apartments and compact laundries near the station have no floor space for a storage tank, and a wall-hung continuous flow unit the size of a suitcase solves that neatly.
- Older supply lines Many Federation and interwar homes still run narrow galvanised pipes, and a tankless unit matched to realistic flow rates copes better with restricted pressure than a big tank ever did.
- Sloping blocks Steep sandstone falls toward the harbour make tank placement and drainage fussy, while a wall-mounted unit bolts flat to a wall and needs no tank stand or base.
What we do with instant systems
Continuous flow technology suits this suburb's mix of tight apartments and heritage homes, but only when the unit is sized, mounted and commissioned properly. Every install below ends with a fixed written price before we start.
Sizing and selection
We calculate your peak simultaneous demand, from morning showers to the dishwasher, and recommend a model whose flow rate genuinely covers it, because an undersized unit that chokes when two taps open is the most common tankless regret.
Gas continuous flow installation
Gas is the tankless workhorse, and we run the gas line, mount the unit with correct clearances, commission the burners and certify the work, which matters on hillside blocks where flue placement through solid brick needs real care.
Electric continuous flow installation
Where buildings have no gas, electric instant units work hard, but they draw serious current, so we verify your power supply capacity and circuit condition first and upgrade what is needed rather than plugging a liability into an old circuit.
Faults and unit swaps
Temperature sensors, flow sensors, scaled heat exchangers and ignition faults are the usual culprits when a tankless unit misbehaves, and we diagnose the actual fault, fix it where sensible, and swap the unit when repair stops being honest.
The apartment reality: what your building allows
A large share of this suburb lives in units, from pre-war walk-ups to newer blocks clustered around the 1893 railway line, and tankless installs in strata buildings come with their own rhythm.
Strata approval
Access windows
We handle that paperwork and timing as part of the job, and we have installed enough systems in these buildings to know which committee questions are coming before they are asked.
When an instant system is the wrong answer
Honesty first: tankless is brilliant for many homes here, but not all.
- A large household running two showers plus a washing machine on an undersized gas unit will notice the flow drop.
- An electric continuous flow system on an ageing power supply in one of the older walk-ups can demand an expensive upgrade before the first shower.
Sometimes a well-sized storage tank, covered on our gas hot water systems and electric hot water systems pages, is the wiser call. We will say so before you spend a dollar, because a fixed quote on the wrong system is still the wrong system.
What goes wrong with instant systems
Temperature swings mid-shower
Fluctuating heat usually traces to a scaled heat exchanger, a tired flow sensor or inconsistent gas supply, and because these units modulate constantly, a proper diagnosis finds the culprit quickly and a fix restores steady temperature.
The cold water sandwich
Brief cold bursts between uses happen because the heat exchanger takes a moment to fire, and modern units with internal buffers largely fix it, so if yours does it constantly the unit is either ageing or badly sized for your usage.
Ignition and error codes
A unit that clicks and gives up, or flashes a fault code, is usually reporting an ignition, gas supply or sensor fault, and we carry the common replacement parts so most of these are fixed on the first visit.
Why it matters: getting this decision right
Comfort you can measure
A correctly sized continuous flow unit ends the rationing of hot water forever, which changes how a busy household runs its mornings.
Energy only when used
No pilot-lit tank losing heat all night, and no paying to keep forty litres hot while everyone is at work.
Space given back
Removing a tired tank from a cramped laundry or balcony cupboard frees room that compact local homes genuinely value.
How it works
Our installation process
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0528 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.
- 02
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, mount and commission
We confirm your household's real peak demand, mount the unit where slope, flue clearances and strata rules allow, connect gas or power, then commission it fully, checking flow rates, temperature stability and safety valves before we hand it over.
- 04
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 Wollstonecraft
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 Wollstonecraft 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.
Because a tankless unit is a long-term choice, it is worth reading how it compares on our hot water installation page, or checking whether your current unit is worth saving on the hot water repair page first.
Where we work
Areas we service
Beyond this suburb we cover Crows Nest, Waverton, St Leonards, Greenwich and Naremburn, bringing the same sizing discipline and strata experience to every install, with the advantage of a crew that already knows the lower North Shore's building stock inside out.

Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water systems questions Wollstonecraft locals ask
Are instant hot water systems kinder to energy bills than storage tanks?
Yes, because they only heat water as you use it rather than keeping a tank hot around the clock, most households notice the difference on their next quarterly energy bill.
Do I need a gas connection for a continuous flow system?
Gas models deliver the strongest flow, but plenty of apartment blocks here have no gas, so a correctly sized electric continuous flow unit is the usual answer there.
How long does an instant system installation take?
Most swaps are finished in a single visit, though conversions between gas and power or relocating a unit can add time for compliance work and certification.
Can one instant system run two showers at once?
It can if the unit is sized for the combined flow rate, which is exactly why we calculate your peak demand before recommending a model rather than guessing.
Are instant hot water systems covered by a warranty?
Every installation carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts warranty, so if our workmanship is ever at fault we come back at no cost.
Do tankless systems need regular servicing?
A periodic service keeps heat exchangers clear of scale and sensors honest, which matters on the sandstone slopes here where older supply lines are common.
