Frequently asked questions
What causes 5 000 litre geyser not heating?
The usual causes are part of the element bank failed, contactor or timer keeping elements off-line, load shedding control limiting heating windows, thermostat or probe misreading. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
How do you diagnose it?
Current draw per element circuit; Contactor and timer function test; Probe calibration against a reference; Coil delta-T measurement. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
Do you attend this fault in Dainfern Valley Estate?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Work in Dainfern Valley Estate is quoted per unit, with a body-corporate or estate-manager copy of the report where the plant is common property.
