Gas Storage Hot Water Units
Gas hot water installation is another common choice in the ACT since these units are cheap to run (cheaper than electric) and can be very efficient in producing large volumes for a relatively good price. These systems are generally installed outside but can also be installed internally if a flue pipe is run to discharge of the flue gases properly. If you are having problems with your gas system or are looking for a new one, please get in touch with our experienced gas fitters in Canberra.

Continuous Flow/Instantaneous Gas Hot Water Units
A popular choice in newer suburbs and when upgrading from an old unit, the Mr Pipes crew have undertaken countless installations of continuous flow/instantaneous systems. Continuous flow (or instant) units are designed to keep delivering hot water for as long as you have the tap turned on. Perfect for large families, you will never have to worry about getting the dreaded last shower when the tank has started to run cold! These units are generally high performing in terms of energy efficiency, and quite a few of these units have been awarded 7 Stars on the energy efficiency scale.
We can:

Hot Water Safety
Is your hot water too hot? Is it a risk to your family or visitors to your home?
The average delivery temperature of domestic hot water is 70 degrees Celsius. A much safer temperature is 50 degrees. This is because water at a lower temperature takes longer to cause injury.
- At 60°C, it takes one second for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
- At 55°C, it takes 10 seconds for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
- At 50°C, it takes five minutes for hot water to cause third-degree burns.
If you want to improve the safety of your hot water unit, then give us a call at Mr Pipes Plumbing. We can investigate and advise a solution to protect you and your family from the risk of scalding and burns.
