No tank means no cupboard given up to it
An instant unit warms each litre the moment it's called for rather than storing a fixed volume, which suits an apartment far better than a bulky cylinder taking up a service cupboard that could be used for something else. Call (02) 9072 0513 to talk through whether it suits your floorplan.
Weighing up other options? A failing storage tank swap sits under replacement, gas-specific detail lives on the gas systems page, and the hot water hub lays out every option side by side.
Original floorplans were never built around a tank
- Early apartment layouts kept service cupboards small Buildings from the first construction wave near Brodie Avenue and Anzac Parade set aside modest space for hot water, never anticipating today's larger units.
- A wall-mounted unit solves the space problem outright Fixing an instant system to an external wall frees the original cupboard entirely, useful in a compact one or two-bedroom layout.
- Renovated apartments repurpose that reclaimed space often Owners updating a kitchen or laundry frequently fold the old tank cupboard back into usable storage once instant replaces it.
Sizing and choosing the right instant unit
Three factors decide whether instant is genuinely the right fit for a Little Bay apartment or townhouse:
Flow rate against fixture count
Matching flow rate to how many taps and showers actually run at once is the single biggest factor in whether an instant system genuinely keeps pace day to day, so this crew sizes to real usage, never a guess.
Gas versus electric instant
Gas instant suits a property already connected to the precinct's reticulated supply, while electric instant works where a gas run to that riser isn't practical, and this crew explains the genuine trade-offs before either gets recommended.
Balcony or external wall mounting
An outdoor wall-mounted unit needs weatherproofing and, on a golf-course-facing block, fittings chosen for salt resistance, while an indoor installation trades that exposure for a slightly more involved clearance requirement.
An alternative when shared plant feels unreliable
- Individual instant units bypass a struggling strata plant entirely Where a building's central system has become unpredictable, some owners switch their own apartment to an independent instant unit rather than wait on a full plant replacement.
- A townhouse with its own supply suits instant particularly well Without a shared riser to coordinate with, fitting an individual unit is usually simpler than in a larger apartment tower.
- Heritage ward conversions favour a compact fit Where placement is limited by protected fabric, a slim wall-mounted instant unit often fits where a full-sized tank genuinely could not.
Good questions, straight answers
Common questions before choosing instant
Cold-water sandwich effect
A brief cold burst when a tap is turned back on quickly is a known quirk of some instant models rather than a fault, and this crew can point to which units minimise it before installation.
Undersizing for a busy household
An instant unit sized for a smaller household than actually lives there struggles the moment two fixtures run together, which is why an honest fixture count matters more than the number on the price tag. Still deciding between fuel types? The electric systems page covers the alternative, and installation handles the fresh-connection detail for a renovation.
Why sizing an instant system properly matters
Getting an instant system's sizing wrong rarely shows up straight away, it shows up the first busy morning it can't keep pace, and by then the household is already living with the shortfall:
An undersized unit lets a household down repeatedly, not occasionally
Unlike a tank that simply runs low once in a while, an undersized instant system hits its limit at the same busy moment, morning after morning.
Poor placement shortens working life fast
Mounting a unit exposed to salt air without weather-appropriate fittings sees it age noticeably quicker than one sited and specified with the position in mind.
Getting it right once avoids a second install
A properly sized system fitted correctly the first time removes any need to revisit the decision down the track.

Good questions, straight answers
Instant hot water questions Little Bay locals ask
Do original apartment floorplans near Brodie Avenue actually have room for a storage tank?
Often barely, a lot of the earliest apartment layouts set aside only a small service cupboard, and an instant unit reclaims that space entirely once the old storage tank comes out.
Can an individual apartment switch to its own instant unit if the building's shared plant is unreliable?
Sometimes, depending on the building's gas or electric supply at that riser, this crew checks feasibility on site before recommending an individual instant unit over waiting on strata's shared plant.
Will an instant unit keep up with two bathrooms running at once in a townhouse?
That comes down to the unit's rated flow, which is why this crew sizes each system against the property's real fixture count rather than guessing, avoiding an install too small for a busy morning.
Does an instant unit mounted on a balcony facing the golf course need different fittings?
Yes, mounting hardware in that position benefits from a corrosion-resistant finish specified up front, since ordinary outdoor fittings wear through noticeably sooner once they're catching salt-heavy wind every day.
Is switching to instant a sensible move during an apartment renovation?
Often, yes, a renovation is a common trigger for the switch since the old tank's cupboard is already being reworked, letting the connection happen alongside everything else rather than as a separate visit.
What is the realistic working life of an instant unit in an apartment?
Well maintained, an instant unit commonly outlasts a comparable storage tank, since there is no large water volume sitting inside a tank slowly corroding from the inside over the years.
