For endless hot water on demand, opt for the modern califont style—an efficient, space-saving solution for your home.

At Regency Plumbing, we’re often asked about upgrading from the old Vulcan Freeloader to a modern Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water Heater, also known as a califont. The good news? Yes, you can make the switch!
However, it’s important to note that upgrading isn’t always a simple plug-and-play process. Here’s why:
Upgrading typically requires enlarging the gas pipe from the meter to the hot water cylinder to ensure the new unit gets enough gas. This is a common challenge, especially when the existing gas pipe runs through the center of your house.
But, if the distance is manageable, extending the gas pipe is straightforward, making the upgrade highly feasible!
Many homeowners are making the move to Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water Heaters for endless hot water and greater energy efficiency. For smaller households or families no longer needing a large tank, this upgrade can make perfect sense.

Special Offers
We currently have fantastic deals on continuous flow gas hot water heaters, but keep in mind that upgrading from a gas storage unit may come with additional costs, especially if the pipework needs to be updated.
For a simple and reliable choice, consider the Rheem Stellar gas storage heater, or chat to us about a Continuous Flow system.
