Gas Geyser Installation Services in Somerset West
For established properties, our process starts with a site assessment of bathroom count and hot water demand before we supply and install a correctly sized gas geyser, complete with all pipework, valves and fittings, via our in-house plumbing team. For newer developments, we coordinate with builders where possible to fit gas geysers as part of the build rather than retrofitting after the fact.
Every installation is inspected and certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation Somerset West homeowners need for insurance and, given the area’s active property market, frequently for a sale. We also service the wine farms and smallholdings on the town’s outskirts, where gas geysers sometimes need to support small-scale hospitality use alongside standard domestic demand.
Our maintenance and leak detection services, the latter using electronic sniffer equipment, are available throughout Somerset West. Core Gas Installations can size, install and certify a gas geyser system for any property in the area.
For newer Somerset West developments, we coordinate with builders ahead of a site visit so geyser positions and gas routing are agreed before construction reaches that stage, avoiding a costly retrofit later. 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. We keep a record of every Somerset West installation on file, useful for a homeowner who wants to confirm compliance history when insuring or selling a property.

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.
