Geyser repairs, replacements and upgrades

Geyser repairs

No hot water, water that's too hot, a dripping overflow pipe or a tripping geyser circuit usually points to a thermostat, element or valve. Our plumbers test and replace the faulty part instead of the whole geyser where they can.

Burst geyser replacement

When the tank fails, the geyser, drip tray, valves and pipework are replaced and a plumbing certificate of compliance is issued. Ask for photos and the COC for your insurance claim.

Solar geysers and heat pumps

Cut the electricity your hot water uses. We install solar geysers and heat pumps, and can convert an existing electric geyser.

Geyser timers and remote switches

A remote switch lets you heat water only when you need it.

Geyser electrical work

If the fault is on the geyser circuit or isolator, our electrical teams can handle that side too, so you only make one call.

FAQ's

Geyser questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

See all FAQs →

Can a geyser be repaired or does it need replacing?

Thermostats, elements, pressure valves, vacuum breakers and drip trays can usually be repaired or replaced. A geyser whose tank has burst or rusted through needs replacing.

Do I need a certificate after a geyser replacement?

Yes. A new or replacement geyser should be installed to SANS 10254 and a plumbing certificate of compliance issued. Insurers often ask for it on burst-geyser claims.

Is a heat pump better than an electric geyser?

A heat pump heats water using much less electricity than a standard element, so running costs drop, but it costs more to install. We'll quote both so you can compare.

Can I control my geyser remotely?

Yes. We install remote switches for geysers and other appliances, so you can switch the geyser on only when you need hot water.
