Registered LP Gas InstallerWe install, repair and replace gas geysers, and we handle the gas work around them — stoves, hobs, cylinders and the compliance paperwork. Our registered gas practitioners fit the unit and issue the Certificate of Compliance on completion. If you have no hot water this morning, that is the job we drop everything for.
We install five proven models so there is a fit for every home and budget, from a 20L Paloma for a whole house to a Cadac 12L Ecoflow — suitable for a granny flat. Pipework, bracketing, venting and cylinder placement are all done to SANS standard.

Free-standing gas stoves and built-in hobs installed and pressure tested, with the correct regulator, hose and cylinder housing. We handle the connection from cylinder to appliance and leave you with a compliant, safe cooking setup.

Read moreIt comes down to how many hot taps run at the same time, whether you have power at the unit, and what your water pressure is doing. A 20L unit is the right call for a family home with two bathrooms; a 16L is plenty for a flat or a granny flat. Below is what we actually install, with honest pricing.
From R22,000 supplied & installed
The unit we fit when a household runs two bathrooms and a kitchen at once. Excellent temperature stability and build quality. Needs a plug point — it runs off electricity, not batteries.

From R21,500 supplied & installed
The same premium whole-house performance as the Paloma, manufactured in Japan, and R500 apart on the installed price. Also mains-powered, so it needs electricity at the unit.

From R15,000 supplied & installed
Constant temperature control at a sensible price, and it is battery-powered, so it keeps making hot water through load shedding. A solid choice for a three-bedroom house with one main bathroom.

From R12,200 supplied & installed
The entry-level workhorse. It lights on low water pressure, which suits flats and older Pacaltsdorp plumbing, and runs on batteries. Best for one bathroom at a time.
See the Cadac 16L Ecoflow →From R11,000 supplied & installed
Suitable for a granny flat. Battery-powered with a low-flow start, sized for one shower or a kitchen at a time. Cylinders, cage, cover and a flue where required are quoted as extras.

Sizing is not only about litres per minute. The length of your pipe runs, where the cylinder can safely stand, and how many showers run at once all change the answer — which is why we look at the house before quoting. Our gas geyser buying guide walks through the trade-offs in more detail.
Because we turn up, explain what is wrong in plain language, and leave the job tidy. GasCraft George works with registered gas practitioners who know the quirks of older Pacaltsdorp pipework and coastal corrosion. Our 4.9★ Google rating comes from customers saying much the same thing.

Alan Torley is the owner and founder of GasCraft George and a registered domestic LPG practitioner. Our team tells you straight whether a unit is worth repairing, and a registered gas practitioner issues the Certificate of Compliance when the job is done. One Google review put it simply: “Returned several times until it worked properly.”
We are based in Pacaltsdorp and cover George and the surrounding coast on the same day where we can. That includes Wilderness, Groot Brak, Herolds Bay, Glentana and Sedgefield, along with the estates and smallholdings in between.
Coastal homes at Herolds Bay and Glentana see more salt-air corrosion on fittings and vents, while holiday houses in Wilderness and Sedgefield often sit unused for months and need the unit checked before the season. Groot Brak and Pacaltsdorp jobs are usually straightforward swaps or repairs. Tell us where you are and we will give you a realistic arrival window.
Phone or WhatsApp us with what the geyser is doing and where you are. We come out for a free assessment, send you a written quote with the model and price, and book the installation or repair for a time that suits you. No call-out charge for quotes in the George area.
