Signs Your Geyser Needs Attention
-
No Hot Water The most obvious sign — if you have no hot water, the heating element, thermostat, or geyser itself may have failed and needs immediate attention.
-
Leaking Geyser Water dripping or pooling around your geyser is a serious warning sign. Turn off the power and water supply immediately and call us.
-
Lukewarm or Inconsistent Water Water that takes much longer to heat or never reaches the right temperature usually indicates a faulty element or thermostat.
-
Strange Noises Popping, rumbling, or hissing from your geyser indicates scale build-up, a failing element, or excessive pressure — all requiring professional attention.
-
Tripping Circuit Breaker If your geyser repeatedly trips the electrical board, there is an electrical fault in the element or wiring that must be fixed by a qualified plumber.

Frequently Asked Questions — Geyser Repairs
How do I know if my geyser needs to be repaired or replaced?
Geysers over 10 years old, or those with significant corrosion or repeated failures, are usually more cost-effective to replace. Newer geysers with a single fault — element, thermostat, or pressure valve — can typically be repaired. We assess and advise honestly.
Is a burst geyser covered by home insurance?
In most cases, yes — a burst geyser and the resulting water damage is covered under standard home insurance policies in South Africa. We provide a full written report and photographs to support your claim.
How long does geyser replacement take?
A standard geyser replacement typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on access and the size of the unit. You'll have hot water again the same day in most cases.
What size geyser do I need?
The right size depends on the number of people in the household and hot water demand. A 150L geyser suits most families of 2-4. We advise on the best size for your specific needs when we assess.
Do you service solar and heat pump geysers?
Yes — we service, repair, and replace solar geysers and heat pump water heaters in addition to standard electric geysers. Call 073 707 8085 to discuss your specific system.
