frequently asked questions
How long does a standard geyser installation take?
A complete, compliant electric geyser replacement typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on accessibility in your ceiling or utility room.
Why does my geyser keep tripping my electricity?
This is almost always caused by a fractured heating element. The outer metal casing of the element splits open, allowing water to touch the live electrical wire inside, instantly shorting out your system.
