Space-Saving Solutions for Putney Family Homes
Many properties in Putney sit on generous blocks but feature older 1960s and 70s brick veneer designs where every square metre of utility space counts. Traditional hot water cylinders, often tucked into laundry corners or taking up valuable outdoor walkway space, are becoming a thing of the past. A tankless hot water system is roughly the size of a small suitcase. By mounting these units to an external wall, we free up significant room for renovations or landscaping. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners near the Parramatta River where outdoor entertaining areas are a priority. Brands like Rinnai and Rheem offer compact models that deliver high performance without the bulky footprint of a 315-litre tank.
Experience Endless Hot Water on Demand
Standard electric or gas storage tanks have a finite capacity. Once the 135 or 250 litres of heated water are gone, your household is forced to wait hours for the recovery cycle. In a busy Putney family home, this often leads to cold showers by the time the third person gets ready in the morning. Tankless technology, or continuous flow, heats water as it passes through the unit. This means as long as you have gas and water supply, the hot water will not run out. Whether you have an oversized bathtub or a high-pressure rainfall showerhead, these systems provide a consistent temperature regardless of how long the tap is running.
Energy Efficiency and Lower Utility Bills in 2112
With energy prices rising across New South Wales, the efficiency of a tankless system is a major drawcard for residents in the Northern Suburbs. Traditional tanks suffer from standby heat loss, where the water cools down and must be reheated repeatedly throughout the night. Tankless units only burn gas when the water is moving. This targeted energy use results in lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. We frequently install 5 and 6-star energy-rated units from Dux and Bosch that are tailored for the gas connections found in the 2112 area. These systems are designed to operate only when needed, making them one of the most cost-effective ways to manage household overheads.
Long Lifespan and System Durability
A standard hot water tank has an expected lifespan of about 8 to 12 years before the internal lining begins to corrode or the sacrificial anode fails. In contrast, tankless hot water systems are engineered for longevity, often lasting 20 years or more with basic maintenance. This durability is due to the lack of a large steel tank that sits under constant pressure and heat. For Putney property owners, this means fewer replacements and less waste. Most modern units also feature digital controllers that allow you to set precise temperatures, preventing overheating and further extending the life of the internal components. We provide full commissioning and annual servicing to ensure your unit hits that two-decade milestone.
Expert Installation and Brand Selection
Upgrading to a tankless system involves more than just swapping a box on the wall. It requires a precise assessment of your existing gas pipe diameters and water pressure. Many older homes in Putney may require a gas line upgrade to a larger megajoule capacity to support a high-flow instantaneous unit. Our pricing for a professional installation starts from $2,200, which covers the unit, labour, and compliance certification. We work with the leading brands in the Australian market, including Vulcan, Aquamax, and the highly efficient Sanden and Reclaim heat pump options for those looking to move away from gas entirely. Our team ensures all drainage and ventilation meet current Australian Standards for a safe, long-term installation.

Frequently asked questions
How does a tankless hot water system work? expansion?
Tankless systems, also known as continuous flow or instantaneous units, heat water only when a tap is turned on. Unlike traditional storage tanks that keep 135 to 400 litres of water hot all day, these units use a heat exchanger to warm water instantly. This eliminates standby energy loss and ensures you never run out of hot water, regardless of how many people use the shower consecutively in your Putney household.
How long does installation take in Putney?
Most switchovers from an old electric tank to a new gas continuous flow system take between 3 to 6 hours. If we are replacing an existing dead instantaneous unit with a similar model like a Rinnai Infinity, the job is often completed in under 3 hours. We handle all the necessary pipework adjustments and gas connections to ensure the unit is commissioned correctly according to NSW plumbing standards.
Are tankless systems more expensive than storage tanks?
While the upfront cost for a quality tankless installation starts from $2,200, the long-term savings are significant. Because you aren't heating water 24/7, energy bills typically drop by 25% to 35%. Additionally, tankless units generally last 20 years or more—nearly double the lifespan of a standard glass-lined storage tank—which means you won't be paying for another replacement in a decade's time.
Can a tankless system handle two showers at once?
Yes, many high-flow models from brands like Rheem or Bosch are designed specifically to handle multiple outlets. For larger family homes near Putney Park or along Morrison Road, we recommend units with a flow rate of 26 litres per minute or higher. This ensures that a shower running in the ensuite won't cause a temperature drop if someone starts the kitchen tap or the dishwasher.
