Quick Answers
Common questions from South African homeowners — answered by our experts.
QHow much does a geyser replacement cost in South Africa?
A standard 150L electric geyser replacement typically costs R4,000–R8,000 including labour and materials. Solar geysers range from R12,000–R25,000 depending on the system. Prices vary by region and brand.
QWhat should I do when my geyser bursts?
Immediately turn off the water supply at the main valve and switch off the geyser circuit breaker. Place towels or buckets to manage water. Call a plumber — most burst geysers need same-day replacement.
QHow often should I service my air conditioner?
AC units should be serviced at least once a year, ideally before summer. Regular servicing includes filter cleaning, refrigerant checks, coil cleaning, and electrical inspection — extending unit life by years.
QCan I connect my irrigation system to a borehole?
Yes. A borehole-connected irrigation system requires a submersible pump, pressure tank, and correct pipe sizing. Our team designs and installs complete borehole-to-irrigation systems for residential and commercial properties.
QHow do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp patches on walls or floors, the sound of running water when taps are off, and low water pressure. Professional leak detection equipment can pinpoint leaks without breaking walls.
QWhat is the best water storage solution for load shedding?
A JoJo tank (2,000–10,000L) with a pressure pump is the most popular solution. For larger properties, underground tanks or multiple JoJo tanks with automated pump systems provide reliable water backup during outages.
