Johannesburg gas geyser specialists
We repair, service and safety‑check LPG gas water heaters for homes, guesthouses and light commercial sites. Our technicians are registered installers who prioritise safe operation and clear communication. If your water is running cold, cycling hot‑cold, or the unit won’t ignite, we’ll diagnose the fault and get your hot water back quickly.
What we fix
No hot water / intermittent heat
We clean burners, sensors and heat‑exchangers, check gas pressure, test regulators and verify water‑flow and temperature‑stability.
Ignition problems
Clicks but no flame? We service spark electrodes, micro‑switches, diaphragms, batteries and PCB/solenoid issues.
Flue & ventilation
We assess flue routing, CO safety, fresh‑air requirements and rectify downdraft or recirculation problems.
Gas leaks & pressure
We pressure‑test the gas line, check regulators, change pigtails and ensure safe cylinder placement and clearances.
Water leaks & scale
We repair joints, service filters and address scale build‑up that causes overheating or poor flow.
Annual servicing
Full preventative maintenance: burner & jet clean, heat‑exchanger inspection, water‑filter clean, flue test, flame‑picture check, and safety report.
Annual Maintenance — what’s included
Burner & flame picture
Clean jets, inspect flame, adjust for stable combustion.
Heat‑exchanger
Check for scale or soot build‑up; clean and protect for efficiency.
Water & gas filters
Clean/replace filters to restore flow and reduce strain.
Regulator & pressure
Verify inlet pressure, test hoses and pigtails.
Flue & ventilation
Test extraction, clearances and CO risk; correct faults.
Safety report
Written findings and compliance recommendations; CoC where applicable.
Quick troubleshooting before we arrive
- Check cylinders: Are the valves open and cylinders not empty? Try switching to the spare.
- Power / batteries: Some models need fresh batteries for ignition. Replace if weak.
- Water filters: Clean any inlet strainers if flow is poor.
- Ventilation: Make sure the unit has fresh air and the flue isn’t blocked.
- Shower mixers: Thermostatic mixers can starve flow; try a different tap to test.
If you smell gas, close the cylinder valve immediately, ventilate the area and contact us.
Safety & Compliance (CoC)
All fixed LPG installations in South Africa require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) issued by a registered installer. During repairs and services we also check typical compliance items: correct cylinder siting and distances, secure mounting, accessible shut‑off valves, leak‑free pipework, and correct flue termination. If your system needs work to pass, we’ll quote for the fixes and arrange your CoC.
- Verify installer registration and keep your CoC with your property documents.
- After alterations, have the installation re‑inspected and your CoC updated.
Brands we service
