Geyser repairs, replacements and installations

Watts Plumbing handles all types of geyser repairs and installations, including solar. On completion of every installation we provide a SANS 10254 compliance certificate – required by insurance companies – and advise you on how to process your claim.

Burst geyser? Switch off the geyser at the distribution board, close the water supply to the geyser (or the main stopcock) and call us on 021 788 1114 – we’re on call 24/7.

Electric geysers

Electric geysers use heating elements and thermostats to control water temperature and power use, and pressure and temperature valves to keep the system safe. We repair and replace elements, thermostats and valves, and install new geysers to code.

Save energy

  • Geyser blankets
  • Geyser timers
  • Element & thermostat replacement
  • Valve replacement

Solar geysers

With electricity costs rising, many homeowners are moving to solar geysers. In some cases you can save up to 30% on your monthly electricity bill, and the savings can pay off the system within two to three years.

  • Hot water during power outages
  • Lower electricity costs
  • Better for the environment
  • Pays for itself over time

No water wasted with Wattapac

When we replace a geyser, our own Wattapac system pumps the water out of the old geyser into a heavy-duty bag and back into the new one – so no water is lost and there are no spills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle burst geyser insurance claims?

Yes. We install your new geyser, issue the SANS 10254 compliance certificate insurers require, and advise you on how to process your claim. We are an appointed OUTsurance service provider.

What is a SANS 10254 certificate?

It is the compliance certificate that confirms your geyser was installed according to the national standard. Insurance companies require it after a geyser installation.

Can you make my geyser more energy efficient?

Yes – we install geyser blankets and timers, and can advise on solar geyser options to reduce your electricity costs.

Do you repair geysers or only replace them?

Both. We replace elements, thermostats and valves, and install new electric and solar geysers when a repair no longer makes sense.

Are you available after hours for burst geysers?

Yes. Our office is open Mon–Fri 8am–5pm and our plumbers are on call 24/7 for emergencies.

    Brilliance is actually not enough to describe these guys ✨️ I have had the pleasure of dealing with Watts for 2 separate issues, on 2 seperate occasions within the last month - and BOTH times, the team sent to me has been exceptional. A special shout out must go to my main plum(b), Sam 😊 but then a HUGE thanks to Dylan and Rozario who are legends in their own right. And to Candace for the amazing administrative support. Efficient, friendly, KIND and professional - each and every one of them. You are all credits to your profession and Charles, your company has a customer for life ✨️ #Watts4TheWin 🙌

    We can’t recommend David highly enough. As a large preschool and aftercare, we have frequent plumbing issues, and he has been an absolute lifesaver time and again. He’s incredibly reliable—whenever something urgent comes up, he does his best to be there as soon as he can or if he is not able to, communicates clearly about when he will be able to. What we especially appreciate is how he takes the time to explain different options and helps us think through what will be most cost-effective in the long run. He’s not just about getting the job done—he’s about doing it right and making sure it works for us over time and always has our best interests at heart.

    My toilet was blocked ( on a Saturday) and Watt's Plumbing was immediately available to assist. Rozarrio was extremely friendly and was able to unblock the pipe with ease. I highly recommend Watt's Plumbing and will definitely use them again.

    Last week a team fixed up my pool filtration system and did a really neat job. This morning another Rozario and Bradley replaced the pop-up plugs in the basins in our main bathroom. They did a great job and were a pleasure to meet! Highly recommend Watt's Plumbing in Muizenberg!!
