Our Geyser Repair & Replacement Process
Call or WhatsApp — Describe the Problem
Call us on 078 912 0847 or send a WhatsApp. Describe the symptoms — no hot water, geyser leaking, making noise, or tripping the DB board. Our plumber will ask a few targeted questions to help narrow down whether it's likely a repair or replacement situation, so we can arrive prepared with the right parts or a suitable replacement unit.
We Inspect and Quote — Honestly
We arrive at your Centurion property and carry out a thorough inspection of the geyser, pipework, pressure valve, drip tray, and associated fittings. We then provide a clear, written upfront quote — explaining what is wrong, what needs to be done, and the exact cost. If a repair is viable, we'll tell you. We won't push a replacement to inflate the invoice.
Repair or Replace — COC Issued
With your written approval, we proceed with the repair or installation. We complete the work to SANS 10254 standard, commission the geyser, test the system fully (temperature, pressure, all outlet points), and clean up your property completely. You receive a full Certificate of Compliance, a written receipt, and your manufacturer warranty documentation before we leave.
Geyser Repair FAQs — Centurion
How do I know if my geyser needs repairing or replacing?
Generally, if your geyser is under 10 years old and the issue is a faulty element, thermostat, or pressure control valve — a repair is usually the most cost-effective solution. If it's over 10–12 years old, has visible corrosion on the tank body, is leaking from the tank itself (not the pipes), or has had multiple failures in a short period — replacement is typically the better long-term investment.
Our plumber will give you an honest recommendation based on a full inspection. We'll tell you if a repair is the right option rather than automatically recommending a replacement to generate a larger job.
How long does a geyser replacement take in Centurion?
A standard electric geyser replacement typically takes 2–3 hours for a direct like-for-like swap. This includes disconnecting and removing the old unit, installing the new geyser, fitting all required safety components (drip tray, pressure valve, vacuum breaker), commissioning the system and testing, and completing the COC documentation.
Solar geyser installations take longer — typically a full day — as they involve installing roof panels and connecting the circulation system. Heat pump installations take approximately 3–5 hours. We will give you an accurate time estimate when you request a quote.
Do I need a Certificate of Compliance (COC) for my geyser?
Yes — any new geyser installation in South Africa legally requires a Certificate of Compliance issued by the installing plumber. This is not optional.
The COC is important for several reasons: your home insurance policy may be invalidated if your geyser was not installed by a registered plumber with a valid COC; you will need it when selling your property (conveyancers increasingly require up-to-date COCs); and it confirms the installation was done to the required SANS 10254 standard. Centurion Plumbing issues a full, signed COC on every geyser installation — included in the price, no extra charge.
Can you install solar geysers or heat pumps in Centurion?
Absolutely. With Gauteng's abundant sunshine and South Africa's high electricity costs and ongoing load-shedding, solar geysers and heat pump systems are excellent investments for Centurion homeowners and property managers.
We install all major brands and will help you choose the correct system for your roof orientation and pitch, household hot water demand, budget, and aesthetic preferences. A properly sized solar geyser can reduce your hot water electricity costs by 60–80%, while a heat pump system delivers hot water even during overcast days and at night. We can advise you on any current Eskom rebates or incentives that may be available for solar hot water installations.
