Instant Hot Water Systems

What is an Instant Hot Water System?

When it comes to everyday convenience, having an instant hot water system makes life easier.

These innovative systems heat water on demand, providing immediate warmth straight from your tap without long waiting times.

An instant hot water system (aka instantaneous hot water and continuous flow) is a compact and efficient device that heats water only when needed, reducing energy waste and saving valuable space. Rather than storing hot water in a bulky tank, the system heats it swiftly for instant delivery at the perfect temperature.

This modern technology is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas requiring quick access to heated water. An instant hot water system can be powered by electricity or natural gas.

At Metropolitan Hot Water, our skilled team ensures accurate installation, reliable maintenance, and exceptional customer service.

Enjoy a smarter, eco-friendly solution that fits busy lifestyles while providing comfort and efficiency every day. Experience the difference and embrace a new era of ultimate comfort.

Instant Hot Water System Experts

Instant hot water systems, also known as continuous flow hot water systems, operate by filtering water through a heat exchanger before it’s sent directly to the tap.

Your continuous flow system will only turn on when your hot water tap is turned on. This is one of the main benefits of these systems and why they are so common. Water is sent through a heat exchanger, which transfers heat from the burner into the water.

Hot, steamy water is then delivered straight to your taps. As soon as the hot tap is turned off, the burner also switches off and water is no longer pumped through the unit.

Because water needs to be slowed down in order to properly heat it as it goes through the heat exchanger, you won't receive mains pressure hot water with gas or electric continuous flow systems.

This means that multiple open taps will result in decreased water temperature and amount. This is really the only downside to one of these hot water systems.

Instant hot water systems can be installed in gas or electric models. Depending on the fuel source and the model you’re able to choose, as well as your living situation, it could be cheaper to run and more energy and water efficient than a storage appliance. These energy efficient systems will deliver water at the exact temperature you require.

Gas has mostly always been the better choice, with some states such as SA phasing out the installation of new electric hot water storage units. However, many manufacturers are now producing highly efficient electric models as well.

Some of the gas continuous flow hot water brands that Metropolitan Hot Water can install and service include:

• Rheem
• Dux
• Rinnai
• Bosch
• Chromagen
