Prices checked 8 November 2026
Unit-only prices for standard electric geysers at one national plumbing retailer. No installer we found publishes a fitted electric geyser price yet, so ask for the fitting as its own line.
| Job | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Kwikot Superline 100 L dual geyser, unit only | R4,799 incl. VAT | Plumblink (national plumbing retailer, online price) |

A fitted price adds labour, valves and fittings, a drip tray, any electrical work and the plumbing certificate of compliance. Insurers usually pay for a like-for-like replacement after a burst; ask what your insurer allows before you appoint a plumber.

General Geyser Prices and Installation Cost
It's best left to the professionals to install or replace a new geyser. Especially since a geyser that leaks or bursts might cause tens of thousands of Rand in water damage to your home. When professionals provide you with an installation estimate, they usually calculate a total price that covers the unit's price as well as the work needed to install the new Geyser and take care of any plumbing or gas line requirements.

Factors that will affect the Geyser installation and equipment prices:
How complicated is it to access the Geyser
The plumber won't need to put in as many labour hours to install the geyser if it is placed in an area that is simple to access, like a garage or ceiling. The price will decrease significantly as a result.
The cost of installing a geyser will be significantly higher if the geyser is in a hard-to-reach location and access necessitates cutting through ceiling panels or safety harness equipment. Additionally, if the plumber must carry the geyser up several flights of stairs, this will increase the price of labour.
The capacity of the Geyser
There are several sizes of geysers available; the most popular ones are 50L, 100L, 150L, 200L, and 250L. Naturally, a geyser's price increases with size, but a geyser's size also directly affects how much it costs to install.
For instance, a 50L geyser is significantly lighter and smaller, making it simpler to carry and install. It takes far more preparation and labour to carry, transport, and install a 250L geyser compared to a 50l geyser. Because of this, installing a 50L geyser will be less expensive than installing a 250L geyser.
Additional changes and work that need to be performed
The plumber might need to do further work if you want to alter the size or style of the geyser. The plumber will have to install a larger drip tray or change the support structure to support the additional weight if you want to install a 250L geyser where there was previously a 50L geyser installed. Additionally, they might have to change the fittings and layout of pipes.

Signs That Your Geyser Might Need to be Replaced:
The water isn’t as warm as it used to be
If water is not as warm as it used to be, it can be a sign that your geyser’s element or thermostat is faulty. Depending on the age and state of the geyser, you might be better off replacing the whole geyser instead of just the element or thermostat.
Water leaking from the geyser
If water is leaking from the geyser, please contact a Local Pros Plumbing contractor as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the greater the additional water damage to your house will be.
A Local Pros Plumbing Contractor will be able to determine where exactly the leak is coming from whether it is the geyser itself or just a fitting or pipe that is leaking. They will advise you on the correct action to take and get you sorted out in no time
Rusty coloured water
If there is any signs of rust in the water, this indicates that there is some component rusting in your hot water supply system. This is normally caused by the geyser's tank rusting from within.
A rusty geyser should be replaced because once rust sets in it will not take long for the geyser to start leaking and cause damage to your house.
Geyser’s age
When your geyser is older than 10 years, you should keep a close eye on it as it is coming to the end of its lifetime.
Geyser boiling over
If your geyser is releasing water from its pressure valve it might be an indication of a failing thermostat that is not switching off when it should. If you act swiftly, any additional damage can be avoided.
Solar Geyser Prices
This is fairly high when compared to an electrical geyser, but you will quickly make up the difference when adding up the monthly savings on your electricity bill.
Gas Geyser Prices
You don't need an electrical source for your gas geyser to operate because it runs on gas. These are the most energy-efficient geysers on the market because they do not store any water and thus do not lose any energy during storage of the warm water , with a capacity ranging from 5 to 20 litres per minute.
Gas geysers with a 5 to 10 litre capacity are perfect for camping because they can heat a single faucet or a kitchen sink. Depending on their size, larger gas geysers with 15 to 20 lpm capacity can run a shower, bath, or washing machine.
