A standard gas geyser installation generally takes between 4 to 8 hours for a registered professional. More complex jobs that involve longer pipe runs, core drilling, or an indoor installation with a flue pipe can take a full day or longer. A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.

It is completely independent of electricity. A forced-fan geyser has an internal fan that pushes exhaust gases out and requires a standard electrical connection to operate. A battery-operated geyser uses batteries to ignite the flame and operate the display. Forced-fan units are often more efficient and can be more powerful, but they will not work during load shedding unless connected to an inverter or backup battery system.

This is what makes them so compact and energy-efficient. No, a gas geyser is a tankless, on-demand water heater. For homeowners in Johannesburg, it heats water instantly as it flows through the unit and does not require a hot water storage tank like a conventional electric geyser.

Your installer will help you choose the right size based on your household's needs. The LPM (Litres Per Minute) rating indicates how much water the geyser can heat at a specific temperature rise, and this is especially relevant for Johannesburg residents. As a general guide, a 6-10 LPM unit is suitable for a single-point use like a kitchen sink. A 12-16 LPM geyser is good for a shower and basin, while a 20 LPM or larger unit can comfortably run a bath or multiple hot water outlets simultaneously.

Here's what you need to know. Always ask to see their SAQCC Gas practitioner card, which shows they are registered and qualified for the specific type of gas work. A reputable professional will have no problem providing this documentation, and this is especially relevant for Johannesburg residents. You can also ask for references or check online reviews from previous clients.
