Gas Geyser Installation Services in Franschhoek
Core Gas Installations sizes installations here with that hospitality context front of mind, alongside the more straightforward residential work we do throughout the valley.
For guesthouse and estate clients, we assess room count and realistic peak demand before recommending a system, frequently cascading multiple gas geysers rather than relying on a single large unit that would struggle to keep pace during a fully booked weekend. For residential clients, the process is more standard: an assessment of bathroom count and household demand, followed by installation of a correctly sized unit with all pipework, valves and fittings completed by our in-house plumbing team.
Every installation is inspected and certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation that Franschhoek’s hospitality businesses need for health and safety compliance and that residential clients increasingly require for insurance purposes on higher-value wine country properties. We also service and maintain existing gas geyser systems, scheduling guesthouse maintenance around booking calendars rather than disrupting paying guests.
Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is available for both residential and commercial clients throughout Franschhoek. Core Gas Installations can consult on sizing, install and keep a gas geyser system running reliably whether it’s serving a family home or a fully booked guesthouse.
For guesthouse and estate clients, we schedule geyser servicing around quieter periods in the booking calendar rather than a fully booked weekend, and can set up a standing maintenance arrangement so compliance never becomes a last-minute scramble before an inspection. Every quote covers supply, installation and certification as one clear price. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where needed.

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