Compare Local QuotesCommon Faults in Panorama
- Family homes on a single cylinder. Several bathrooms drawing at once is a recovery problem rather than a fault.
- Established installations approaching end of life. Cylinders fitted with the house and never touched since.
- Thermostats set high. Faster scaling, shorter element life and a higher bill, all of which cost nothing to correct.
- Valve sets the same age as the geyser. Replacing one usually just moves the failure to the next.
Cheap Things Worth Doing
Three items cost very little and are routinely skipped: dropping the thermostat to around 60 °C, insulating the hot, cold and safety valve pipework, and having the sacrificial anode inspected while the cylinder is drained for something else.
Between them they reduce running cost and extend the life of the cylinder, and the marginal cost during another visit is small.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature should a geyser be set to?
Around 60 degrees. Higher accelerates scale, shortens element life and creates a scald risk at the tap. Much lower increases the legionella concern in stored water. It is free to adjust while a contractor is there.
Is it worth doing the anode while the element is replaced?
Usually, because the cylinder is already drained and the labour is largely shared. The anode is what decides whether the cylinder reaches ten years or fifteen, and it is rarely inspected otherwise.
Why does my hot water run out with three people showering?
The cylinder cannot deliver and recover fast enough for that pattern. It is a capacity issue, not a fault, and the answer is a larger cylinder or a second one rather than a repair.
How much can pipe insulation save?
It varies with the length and position of the run, but on a long run through a hot roof space it is one of the better returns on any geyser quote and it also shortens the wait for hot water at distant taps.
Should the whole valve set be replaced together?
On an older installation, generally yes. They are the same age and see the same water, so doing them individually as each fails means paying several call-outs for one job.
