We’re here to help

Gas Geyser Installation Services in Hermanus
We size these installations for peak-season demand rather than average use, so a fully booked property doesn’t run short of hot water.
For residential and holiday-letting clients alike, we assess bathroom count and realistic simultaneous demand before recommending a gas geyser size, then install the unit with all pipework, valves and fittings via our in-house plumbing team. For guesthouses with multiple rooms, cascading several smaller geysers is often more reliable than one large unit trying to serve every bathroom at once.
Every installation is inspected and certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation Hermanus guesthouse owners need for both insurance and, increasingly, holiday-letting platform requirements. Coastal exposure along this stretch of the Overberg also means we build a proactive maintenance schedule into our recommendations rather than waiting for a fitting to fail mid-season.
Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is available for both residential and hospitality clients throughout Hermanus. Core Gas Installations can consult, size, install and maintain gas geyser systems whether you’re hosting weekend visitors or running a full guesthouse.
For guesthouse owners, we can set up a standing maintenance schedule timed around quieter periods in the booking calendar, so a geyser check never collides with a fully booked whale-watching weekend. 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 a Hermanus job needs it. Our team knows the difference between a permanent Hermanus residence and a guesthouse running at near-full occupancy most weekends, and we size and schedule accordingly rather than treating every job the same way.

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.
