Gas Geyser Installation Services in Claremont

A compact unit for a one-bedroom flat looks nothing like what a four-bedroom family home actually needs, and we assess each property on its own terms rather than defaulting to a standard size.

Every installation begins with a site visit to establish bathroom count and likely simultaneous demand, after which we supply and install a gas geyser sized accordingly, along with all pipework, valves and fittings completed by our in-house plumbing team. For Claremont’s larger family homes, we’ll discuss cascading multiple smaller units where that suits the layout better than one large geyser; for apartments, space constraints usually make a single compact unit the practical choice.

All installations are inspected and certified under SANS 10087-1:2013 — documentation regularly requested during Claremont property sales, where buyers, bond providers and body corporates increasingly want proof of compliant gas work alongside electrical certification. We also inspect and re-certify existing gas geyser installations for homeowners who’ve bought into the area and want independent confirmation the previous owner’s setup was done properly.

Our maintenance and leak detection services, the latter using electronic sniffer equipment, are available for both apartment and house clients throughout Claremont. If you need a new gas geyser sized and installed, or an existing system checked and certified, Core Gas Installations can quote and complete the work.

For Claremont sectional title owners, we coordinate directly with managing agents on access and paperwork, since body corporate approval is often needed before any gas work can proceed in a shared building. Every quote covers supply, installation and certification as a single clear price. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Claremont job crosses into those trades.

WHAT IS CASCADING?

Cascading is used to effectively run a household with its multiple requirements.

For example: Use a 6ℓ geyser to run a kitchen, a 10 – 16 for the shower and run both to the bath, giving 18 /min. Fit non-return valves so that the kitchen and shower can only run off their units.
