About the water heaters we fit across Cape Town's far south
Hot water starts with one honest question: how much do you actually use and when? Every unit here heats and stores water for the home. What changes is how it does it and that is where the right choice for your house hides.
Electric geysers are the simplest. They sit in the roof, run off your wiring and warm a full tank, so they suit a house with steady demand and space in the ceiling. A bigger tank carries more showers before it runs cold. Pick too small and you run out. Pick too big and you pay to heat water you never touch.
Heat pumps do the same job for far less power. They pull warmth from the air, so your bill drops once they are in. They cost more up front and need a spot with airflow outside. For a busy household on a fixed income, the monthly saving often pays that back over the years you stay in the home.
Solar leans on the Cape sun. A flat-plate kit heats water on the roof for free when the sky is clear, with a backup for grey weeks. It fits a north-facing roof and a household happy to shift the big wash to a sunny afternoon.
Then there is gas. A gas instant unit heats water the moment you open the tap, with no tank and nothing warming through load-shedding. It suits a smaller home, a flat or a spot where roof space is tight.
Many houses in Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek still run original plumbing, so the fit matters as much as the unit. We send a WhatsApp photo of what we find first. If a smaller tank covers your showers, we say so. You choose from six real options, not one loud advert. And the three of us stand behind every one.

Frequently asked questions
What size geyser do I actually need for a 3-bedroom house?
It comes down to how many people shower and when, not how many bedrooms you have. A house with two people showering before work needs less tank than one with four people washing back to back in the morning. We ask about your routine first, then look at the geyser sizes on offer so you land on a tank that covers your mornings without heating water nobody uses.
How long does fitting a new water heater take and do I need a plumber with a valid CoC?
You need to notify the municipality and get a Certificate of Approval for any new hot water installation and we issue that once the job passes inspection. Fitting time depends on the unit and what is already in your roof or on your wall. A straight swap of an electric geyser is quicker than a first-time solar or heat pump install, since that needs extra wiring or roof work. We confirm the timeline once we have seen the job, usually from a WhatsApp photo.
What's the real difference between a gas water heater and an electric geyser for a Cape Town home?
A gas unit heats water on demand and keeps running through load-shedding, since it does not rely on a stored tank or your wiring. An electric geyser stores a full tank in the roof, so it needs power to heat and reheat but it suits a house with steady, predictable hot water use. Gas suits a smaller home or a flat where roof space for a tank is tight.
Will you rush the fitting because you're already thinking about the next job?
No. We work through the steps that make a hot water install safe and compliant and we don't skip one to get to the next house faster. If a tenant called us in on a landlord's behalf, we keep both of them in the loop the same way, with photos and a clear explanation of what we found and what we did.
