Geyser Price Lists and general installations costs.
Typical Geyser Prices and Installation Cost
Only trained specialists should install or replace a new geyser, especially considering that a geyser leak or burst might ruin your house and result in thousands of Rand worth of water damage. When professionals give you an installation estimate, they commonly arrive at a final cost that takes into consideration the price of the geyser as well as the labor required to install the new geyser and take care of any plumbing or gas line requirements.
The typical labor cost to install a geyser will be between R2000 and R3000, depending on the complexity of the task and any other work that needs to be done. For instance, the project can be more expensive if you’re putting a geyser in a freshly built home since plumbing work might be necessary. The price per unit is widely varied. Depending on the size and brand of the geyser, the price ranges from R4000 to R15000. For things like plumbing, fittings, electrical or gas installations, you might have to pay more depending on whether you’re conducting a new installation or just updating something.

What effects Geyser installation and replacement prices
The capacity of the geyser
Although geysers come in a variety of sizes, the 50L, 100L, 150L, 200L, and 250L sizes are the most popular ones. Naturally, a geyser’s price will rise as it gets bigger, but so will the cost of installation. For instance, a 50L geyser is lighter and smaller, making installation and carrying easier. When compared to a 50L geyser, a 250L geyser requires significantly more labor to move, carry, and install.
How and where the geyser will be installed
The plumber won’t need to put in as many labor hours to complete the installation if the geyser is located in an accessible area, like a garage or ceiling. Installation will be substantially more expensive if the geyser is in a hard-to-reach location and access requires removing ceiling panels or safety harness equipment. If the plumber needs to carry the geyser up several flights of stairs, the cost of labor will also increase.
What additional work needs to be performed
The plumber might need to do further work if you want to alter the geyser’s size or design. The plumber will need to install a larger drip tray and change the support structure to suit the additional weight if you wish to replace a 50L geyser with a 250L one.
Additionally, the pipe fittings and arrangement might need to be changed. For the most accurate pricing details, please fill out our online form or give us a call. We’ll put you in contact with a reputable Local Pros Plumbing contractor.
Tell tale signs your geyser need replacing
The hot water from your geyser is cold
If the water in your geyser is not as heated as it previously was, the element or thermostat may be broken. Depending on the age and condition of the geyser, it could be wiser to replace the complete unit rather than just the element or thermostat.
Your geyser has a drip
In the event that you observe any water coming from the geyser, kindly contact a Local Pros Plumbing professional straight away. The longer you wait, the more water damage your home will suffer.
A knowledgeable plumber will be able to locate the leak’s exact position, regardless of whether the geyser itself is to blame or only a fitting. The best course of action will be suggested to you, and they’ll promptly fix your problem.
Hot water tap’s water is discoloured
If there are any signs of rust or discoloration in the water, one or more components may be rusting in your hot water system. The geyser tank often rusts from the inside out, causing this.
It is advisable to replace a rusty geyser since, once rust establishes itself, it won’t take long for it to start leaking and perhaps cause water damage to your property.
Your geyser reaching end of life cycle
Older geysers might be approaching the end of their life cycle, so if yours is more than ten years old, you should pay close attention to it.
Pressure release valve blowing steam or dripping water
It’s possible that your thermostat is broken and not turning off when it should if your geyser is spouting water from its pressure valve. You need to move rapidly to prevent any additional damage.
Prices of Gas Geyser
Gas geysers, also referred to as gas water heaters or flash burners, heat the water as it passes through the appliance and do not have water reservoirs. Gas geysers cost between R4000 and R10500.
Your gas geyser runs on gas and doesn’t need an electrical source to operate. These geysers, which can produce 5 to 20 liters of water per minute, are the most energy-efficient ones on the market since they don’t lose any energy when storing warm water because they don’t have a storage tank. Gas geysers with a 5 to 10 litre capacity are perfect for camping because they can heat a single faucet or a kitchen sink.
Larger gas geysers can run a shower, bath, and washing machine with a 15 to 20 lpm capacity.
Below is a useful table with approximate gas geyser prices:
| Low Pressure Systems | R6000 – R14000 |
| Closed Coupled High Pressure Systems | R12000 – R25000 |
| Direct Thermosiphon Systems | R12000 – R25000 |
| Indirect Thermosiphon Systems | R12000 – R25000 |
Prices of Solar Geyser
A solar geyser costs more to install than an electric geyser does.
Without factoring in labor expenses, the equipment price for a new solar geyser might range from R12000 to R25000 for a closed linked high pressure system. But when you add up the monthly electricity bill savings, you’ll quickly cover the cost difference between this and an electrical geyser.
You may see a table of estimated prices for a solar geyser below:
| 5 litre Gas Geyser | R3000 – R7000 |
| 10 litre Gas Geyser | R4000 – R8000 |
| 12 litre Gas Geyser | R4000 – R8500 |
| 15 litre Gas Geyser | R5000 – R9700 |
| 20 litre Gas Geyser | R5500 – R10500 |
