When the British weather can't quite make up its mind, there's one thing you do want to rely on: hot water.
Whether it's a frosty January morning or a damp August evening, a steady, instant supply of hot water makes your home feel genuinely cosy. That's where a Camplux indoor gas water heater comes in – compact, efficient and designed for real everyday life in UK homes.
In this article, we'll look at how Camplux helps you:
- Stay comfortable through cold snaps and shoulder seasons
-
Use energy more sensibly with an indoor gas water heater
- Match the right model (BY264, BD300-LP or BD300-NG) to your UK home
- Plan safe installation and easy daily use

1. Why Hot Water Matters So Much in a UK Home
If you live in the UK, you know the routine:
- Quick shower before the school run
- Hot water for dishes after a Sunday roast
- Warm hands after walking the dog in the rain
When your system is slow, noisy, or runs out of hot water halfway through a shower, the whole household feels it. Traditional cylinders also keep water hot even when you're not using it, which can mean wasted energy and higher bills.
A Camplux indoor gas water heater is different: it's a gas water heater that heats water as it flows through the unit. No big tank. No standing heat losses. Just hot water when you actually need it.
For modern UK homes – especially smaller properties, rental flats and energy-conscious families – that can make a big difference in both comfort and running costs.
2. What Makes an Indoor Gas Water Heater Different?
A tankless indoor gas water heater:
-
Heats on demand – the burner only fires when you open a hot tap or shower
-
Is compact and wall-mounted – freeing up cupboard or loft space
-
Can deliver hot water in just a few seconds, rather than waiting for a cylinder to recover.
Camplux's indoor range for the UK focuses specifically on these tankless units, such as:
-
BY264 – indoor LPG model
-
BD300-LP – indoor LPG, higher flow
-
BD300-NG – indoor natural gas model
All three appear in the Camplux Indoor Water Heater collection for UK customers:

3. Everyday British Scenarios Where Camplux Shines
Before diving into the models, it helps to picture real indoor life:
-
Cold weekday mornings – Everyone wants a quick hot shower before heading out.
-
Work-from-home days – You're in all day but only need short bursts of hot water.
-
Evening routines – Showers, baths, dishes and cleaning up, sometimes all back-to-back.
A Camplux indoor gas water heater is designed for exactly these patterns. It doesn't keep a tank hot “just in case”; instead it reacts when someone turns a tap or starts the shower – giving you hot water quickly and then switching off again when you're done.
4. Camplux BY264 – Practical Comfort for Smaller UK Homes

The Camplux BY264 is a 10-litre indoor gas water heater designed for LPG (butane or propane). It suits:
- One-bed or two-bed flats
- Small terraced houses
- Annexes, studios or LPG-powered homes
From the official listing and product details:
-
It can supply around 10 litres of hot water per minute, which is enough for a comfortable shower and a kitchen sink in lighter-demand homes.
-
It works with butane or propane when used with the correct regulator pressures (28–30 mbar for butane, 37 mbar for propane).
-
Ignition is powered by two D-size batteries, so you don't need a 230 V electrical connection at the unit.
Indoor Life with BY264
Imagine a small UK flat on a chilly morning:
- You turn on the shower – the BY264 senses water flow and lights automatically.
- Within seconds, hot water is arriving at the shower head.
-
Later, you wash up in the kitchen; the same gas water heater provides a steady supply.
Because it's compact and wall-mounted, it can often sit in a kitchen, utility corner or cupboard, reclaiming space you might otherwise lose to a bulky cylinder.
5. Camplux BD300-LP – LPG Power for Kitchen + Bathroom Comfort

For LPG homes that need more hot water – perhaps a small family or a busy couple – the BD300-LP offers higher performance.
According to Camplux's UK product information:
-
BD300-LP delivers up to 11 litres of hot water per minute, and is promoted as being able to supply two water points at once, such as a bathroom and kitchen tap.
-
It produces hot water in around five seconds, reducing waiting time at the shower.
-
It uses a low NOx burner and is described as compliant with ErP requirements for efficiency and emissions.
-
The oxygen-free copper heat exchanger is designed for stable, reliable performance.
How BD300-LP Feels Indoors
Picture a winter Sunday in a small LPG-powered home:
- Someone is showering upstairs while another person is rinsing dishes downstairs.
-
The indoor gas water heater is sized to cope with both at once, keeping temperature and flow stable.
- Because it's wall-mounted and compact, you still have cupboards free for towels, cleaning supplies or winter coats.
6. Camplux BD300-NG – Natural Gas Comfort for Everyday British Homes

If your home is on mains natural gas, the BD300-NG offers a similar experience to the LPG BD300, but tuned for natural gas.
The UK listing highlights that BD300-NG:
-
Provides 11 litres per minute of hot water, supporting two outlets like bathroom and kitchen simultaneously.
- Delivers hot water in about five seconds thanks to the efficient heat exchanger.
-
Uses a low NOx, ErP-compliant burner design for modern environmental expectations.
-
Uses a safety oxygen-free copper heat exchanger for stable heating performance.
A Day with BD300-NG
For a typical UK semi-detached or terraced home:
-
Morning – two showers and a kitchen sink use are handled easily by the 11 L/min flow.
-
Daytime – the unit mostly sits idle, only firing when you need a bit of hot water.
-
Evening – baths, showers and washing up are covered without waiting for a tank to reheat.
It allows you to keep your natural gas connection but move to a more modern, tankless indoor gas water heater style of hot water.
7. Installation & Safety – Essential for UK Homes
However convenient a Camplux indoor gas water heater is, gas safety always comes first in the UK.
Key points to remember:
a.Gas Safe engineer required All installation, gas connection and commissioning must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This isn't optional; it's a legal requirement for gas appliances in UK homes.
b.Correct gas type and pressure BY264 and BD300-LP are LPG models that must be connected to LPG at the pressures stated in the manual.
c.BD300-NG is specifically for mains natural gas at the correct pressure.
d.Flueing and ventilation These are indoor gas water heaters, so they must be installed with a proper flue to discharge combustion gases safely outdoors, following Camplux instructions and UK regulations.
e.Location and access Common locations include kitchens, utility rooms or dedicated cupboards.
f.Your installer will check clearances, pipe runs and access for servicing.
g.Once installed correctly, operation is simple: set your preferred temperature, open the tap or shower, and let the gas water heater do the work.
8. Using Your Camplux Indoor Gas Water Heater Day to Day
To get the best blend of comfort and efficiency, a few habits help:
a.Set a Practical Temperature
Most users find around 38–42°C comfortable for showers. There's rarely any need to set the temperature extremely high – that just wastes gas and increases scalding risk.
b. Match the Flow to Your Home
-
In small homes with one bathroom and lighter use, BY264 is usually sufficient.
-
For regular “two-outlet” use (shower + tap), BD300-LP or BD300-NG offer more headroom with 11 L/min flow.
c. Don't Forget Maintenance
-
Arrange yearly servicing with a Gas Safe engineer, just as you would with a boiler.
- In hard water areas, occasional descaling can help maintain efficiency.

To decide, ask yourself:
a.What gas supply do I have – LPG or natural gas?
b.How many people live here, and how many hot-water outlets might run at the same time?
c.Where could an indoor unit be mounted with a clear route for the flue?
From there, a Gas Safe engineer can confirm which Camplux indoor gas water heater is the best fit and how it should be installed.
