Geyser Repairs in Randburg – Fixing Hot Water Hassles Fast
We once had a call-out in Fairland where a client noticed a puddle forming on the ceiling. They thought it was rain damage. Turned out their geyser had burst in the ceiling void. We isolated it, drained it safely, and had a new one up within a few hours. Saved their ceiling from collapse — and their morning from cold chaos.
If you're in Randburg and your geyser's giving problems, we fix it properly. We don't patch. We repair it so it works like it should.
What's Wrong With Your Geyser?
Geysers are simple. But when something goes wrong, it can get messy fast. Here's what we often fix:
- No hot water
- Water leaking from the ceiling
- Dripping overflow pipes
- Rust around the tank
- Geyser tripping the mains
- Water too hot or not hot enough
Most of the time, it's the thermostat or element. Sometimes it's a burst tank or faulty valve. Whatever it is, we'll figure it out quickly and explain it in plain English.
We've worked on geysers in old homes in Northcliff, new flats in Linden, and everything between. We know what to expect in Randburg homes.
Geyser Installations – Installed Neatly and Safely
A burst geyser is a disaster waiting to happen. Whether you're replacing a burst one or upgrading an old unit, we install new geysers to SANS standards. That means proper valves, safe drainage, and solid mounting.
We:
- Supply high-pressure or low-pressure geysers
- Install drip trays and overflow systems
- Connect pressure valves and vacuum breakers
- Strap the geyser securely in place
- Test everything before we leave
One Northcliff job involved replacing an old, ceiling-mounted geyser that had no drip tray or shut-off. We upgraded it to a safer setup with all the correct fittings. No more anxiety during load shedding or storms.
We install horizontal and vertical units — inside ceilings, outside on brackets, or in geyser rooms. If it needs to be moved, we'll re-pipe and reroute it.
Geyser Thermostat Replacement – When the Water's All Wrong
If your geyser is boiling hot or doesn't heat at all, it's usually the thermostat. These small parts control the water temperature and switch the element on and off.
We carry common thermostats in our vans. Most of the time, we can replace one in under an hour.
In Fairland, we had a client with skyrocketing electricity bills. The geyser ran nonstop because the thermostat had failed in the "on" position. We swapped it out, reset the temperature, and her bills dropped back to normal.
We check the thermostat, test the element, and make sure the thermal cut-out is working too. Safe, simple, sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How quickly can you fix a geyser with no hot water?
Most geyser repairs take 1-2 hours once we arrive. For common issues like thermostat or element replacement, we carry parts in our vans and can fix it the same day. We'll diagnose the problem first and give you an accurate timeframe.
Should I turn off my geyser if it's leaking?
Yes, turn off the electricity supply to the geyser immediately and close the water inlet valve if possible. This prevents further damage and electrical hazards. Call us for emergency repair - we'll guide you through the immediate steps over the phone.
Do you supply and install new geysers?
Yes, we supply and install high-pressure and low-pressure geysers to SANS standards. This includes proper drip trays, overflow systems, pressure valves, and secure mounting. We handle everything from ceiling-mounted units to external installations.
Why is my geyser tripping the electricity?
This usually indicates a faulty element or thermostat drawing too much current, or water contact with electrical components. This is a safety issue that needs immediate attention. We'll test the electrical components and replace any faulty parts safely.
How long should a geyser last?
A well-maintained geyser typically lasts 8-12 years. Factors like water quality, usage, and maintenance affect lifespan. We'll assess your geyser's condition and advise whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective for your situation.
