Gas Installers Edgemead work on a settled family-housing suburb where much of the gas that exists went in during the load shedding years and is now reaching the age where servicing and repairs matter more than new installations.
Hobs, geysers and braai points make up the new work.

- A lot of Edgemead gas is now five to ten years old. That is the point at which regulators, geyser diaphragms and burner assemblies start to matter.
- Service before winter, not during it. A geyser service costs R850 to R1,900 in October and competes with everyone else's emergency in June.
- Adding an appliance means checking capacity. A line sized for a hob will not carry a geyser as well.
- Keep the certificate current. Any alteration means a new one, and it is cheap when the pipework already exists.

Adding a second appliance is where budgets get surprised. If the original installation was sized for a hob on a 19kg cylinder, adding a geyser usually means upsizing both the line and the cylinder arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
My gas geyser is eight years old, should I service or replace it?
Service it, and get any fault priced against a replacement before committing. Under ten years old with a single fault, repair is usually the better spend.
Can I add a gas geyser to my existing hob supply?
Only if the line and cylinder have capacity. A supply sized for a hob generally does not, so budget for upsizing the run and moving to two 48kg cylinders.
How much does a gas geyser service cost?
R850 to R1,900 for a standard service, or R1,600 to R3,200 where descaling is needed.
When is the best time to service?
Spring or autumn. Installers have capacity and the unit is checked before the cold inlet water of winter exposes any weakness.
Does adding an appliance need a new certificate?
Yes. Any alteration to the installation is pressure tested and recertified, which is inexpensive because the pipework already exists.
How much is a whole-house certificate?
R1,600 to R3,800 where the property has several gas points.
