FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater for my Mascot home?
A tankless (continuous-flow) water heater only heats water when you turn on a tap, eliminating the standby heat losses of a storage tank. Mascot homeowners typically see energy savings of 20–40 %, a longer service life (up to 20 years), virtually unlimited hot water, and extra space because the compact unit can be wall-mounted indoors or outside. Many models also offer precise digital temperature control, reducing the risk of scalding.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take?
For a like-for-like gas replacement in Mascot, most installations are completed within 4–6 hours. Jobs that involve relocating the unit, upgrading the gas line, or adding new flueing/ventilation can stretch to a full working day. Our team removes the old tank, handles all plumbing and gas-fitting work, tests the system, and tidies the site before we leave.
Will a tankless system keep up with my family’s hot-water demand?
Yes—provided the unit is correctly sized. Tankless heaters are rated by flow rate (litres per minute). We calculate the maximum number of fixtures you are likely to run simultaneously—e.g. two showers plus a kitchen sink—then specify a unit (usually 20–32 L/min for a typical Mascot household) that can comfortably supply that demand. Because the water is heated on demand, you never “run out” the way you can with a storage tank.
Are there rebates or incentives in Mascot/NSW for installing a high-efficiency tankless heater?
Most energy-efficient gas and electric heat-pump models qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) under the Federal Renewable Energy Target, which can reduce the upfront cost by several hundred dollars. Depending on the model, you may also be eligible for NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) incentives and occasional local council or utility rebates. We’ll check current programs and process the paperwork to maximise your savings.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Compared with a storage tank, maintenance is straightforward: (1) an annual or biennial descaling flush to remove mineral build-up (especially important given Sydney’s moderately hard water), (2) cleaning or replacing the inlet water filter, and (3) a quick inspection of the burner, fan, and venting to ensure safe combustion. We offer affordable service plans and will send you a reminder when your unit is due.
How much space will I save by going tankless?
A typical 135 L storage tank occupies about 0.5–1 m² of floor area and stands 1.5 m tall. A modern tankless unit is roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase (about 60 cm × 35 cm × 20 cm) and is wall-mounted, freeing up the entire floor footprint. Many Mascot customers install the unit on an exterior wall or in a small cabinet, reclaiming valuable indoor storage space in laundries and cupboards.
