Signs You Need a New Geyser
-
Geyser Over 10 Years Old Most geysers have a lifespan of around 8-12 years. Older units are far more likely to fail suddenly and are usually cheaper to replace than repeatedly repair.
-
Repeated Failures If you've had multiple repairs on the same geyser in a short period, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patching.
-
Visible Corrosion or Rust Rust stains around the tank or fittings indicate the tank itself is corroding from the inside and is at risk of a sudden burst.
-
Rising Energy Bills An old, poorly insulated geyser loses heat constantly, driving up your electricity bill. A new, efficient unit — or solar — can cut costs significantly.
-
Insufficient Hot Water If your household has outgrown your current geyser's capacity, we can size and install a larger unit to match your actual demand.

Frequently Asked Questions — Geyser Replacement
How do I know if I need a repair or a full geyser replacement?
Geysers over 10 years old, with significant corrosion, or with repeated failures are usually more cost-effective to replace. Newer geysers with a single fault can typically be repaired. We assess and advise honestly — we never push a replacement you don't need.
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.
Is a geyser replacement covered by home insurance?
A burst or failed geyser is typically covered under standard home insurance policies in South Africa. We provide a full written report and photographs to support your claim.
Do you provide a compliance certificate for geyser replacements?
Yes — every geyser replacement is signed off with a Plumbing Certificate of Compliance (CoC), required by South African regulations and for property transfers.
