Continuous flow, the modern default

A continuous flow unit, the gas califont most people know, heats water as you use it, so there is no tank to run cold and no cylinder taking up a cupboard. It is wall-mounted outside, efficient, and sized to the house so two showers and the dishwasher can run together.

We supply and install Rinnai and Rheem units, and service and repair most brands already on the wall.

Gas cylinders where they make sense

Some homes suit a gas storage cylinder, indoor or outdoor, particularly where the existing pipework is set up for it or the household draws a lot of hot water at once. We talk you through both and price the one that fits.

Either way the installation is done and certified by our own licensed gas fitter.

Gas hot water repairs: problems we sort

  • Gas hot water not working, or gone cold overnight
  • Water goes hot and cold in the shower
  • Error codes on the unit's display
  • Unit fires up but the water never gets hot enough
  • Leaks from the unit or its pipework
  • Califont repair, service or replacement for an old unit

Done properly

A continuous flow unit is only as good as its gas supply and its water flow. We size the gas line, check the pressure, fit the right valves and commission the unit so it delivers what the label says. You get the certificate and a unit that will last.

Common questions

My gas hot water has stopped. Is it the unit or the gas?

Often neither. It can be the igniter, a sensor, an empty LPG bottle or the water flow. We diagnose before recommending a repair or a replacement.

How long does a continuous flow unit last?

Around 15 to 20 years with a service every couple of years. If yours is older and playing up, replacement is often better value than a run of repairs.

Can I run gas hot water on LPG bottles?

Yes. Most North Shore homes without natural gas run continuous flow on twin 45 kg bottles with automatic changeover, so you never run out.
