needs

More complex jobs, like moving a geyser or installing a solar system, can take a full day or longer. A standard like-for-like replacement usually takes a qualified plumber between three to six hours, and this is especially relevant for Cape Town residents.

Common signs include a lack of hot water, lukewarm water, rusty or discoloured water, strange noises (like banging or popping) coming from the geyser, or a constantly dripping pressure valve. A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.

You can save by setting your thermostat to 55-60°C, installing a geyser timer to heat water only when needed, and insulating the geyser and pipes to prevent heat loss.

In most cases, a qualified plumber who also has an electrical accreditation can handle the entire installation. However, for complex jobs, like installing a new circuit, they may bring in a dedicated electrician to issue the electrical CoC.

It's recommended to have your geyser serviced every three to four years. This proactive maintenance can significantly extend its lifespan and prevent unexpected, costly breakdowns.
