Geyser Installation Information
A gas geyser is a water heating system that runs of gas. The traditional south African gas geyser does not have a reservoir to store hot water, instead, it heats the water instantly. The gas geyser will be only activate when there is a demand.
Gas geysers heat the water instantly as it is demanded, as soon as a hot water tap is opened, and the water flows through the pipes at a sufficient flow it triggers a sensor inside of the gas geyser, a tap with a slow leak will not trigger the sensor, igniting the gas burner. The water flows through the pipes in a serpentine pattern, this allows it to absorb the maximum amount of heat emitting from the heat exchanger.
Once the tap is turned off the sensor again is triggered, and the burner goes out. Some gas geyser models have a permanent pilot light lit that ignites the larger burner when hot water is demanded and reduces to the pilot light when the hot water tap is closed.
- Affordably priced
- Battery operated.
- Fan Forced, Requires Electricity
- Simple to operate and maintain. Most of these geysers offer ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ temperature controls, and a water inlet control.
- Standard gas geysers come with a warranty, provided they are installed by a registered and qualified gas installer
- Advanced gas geysers are more gas efficient
- Water temperature can be pre-programmed.
- Can operate under low water pressure conditions of 1.5 bar.
- Fluctuating incoming water pressure is automatically stabilised.
- Electronic systems ensure sufficient water pressure and temperature for up to 6 taps operating simultaneously.
- Outdoor installed advanced gas geysers do not require additional protection from wind or rain, or flue pipes.
- Some gas geysers have temperature sensors in their water inlet pipes, allowing them to be connected directly to an existing solar system as a back-up.
- Standard gas geysers cannot effectively supply sufficient hot water to multiple hot taps simultaneously. In homes with two or more bathrooms, you will ideally need a medium capacity standard gas geyser per bathroom.
- Standard geysers are limited in the distance they can supply hot water – approximately 8 m to 10 m, hence not recommended for double storey homes, unless the bathrooms and kitchen are all on the ground floor.
- Standard gas geysers are sensitive to fluctuating water pressure.
- Standard gas geysers must be protected from prevailing winds and rain and must have a weather cover and flue pipe fitted at extra costs.
Gas Hob Installation Information
- Cooking on gas is cheaper than electric cooking.
- You can adjust the heat supply very precisely yourself.
- Quickly heat up your pans with a large fire.
- You do not have to purchase any new pans.
- With a wok burner you can very well wok at high temperature.
Here are some of the benefits of hobs that you cannot get with gas stoves:
1) Efficient cooking
Unlike gas stoves, modern hobs sit on the level of your kitchen’s countertop and do not protrude. This built-in design makes it easy for you to load/unload heavy cooking utensils on the cooktop. Modern hobs’ built-in design eases cleaning it too.
When cleaning the countertop, you can simply wipe off food spills and grime from the hob’s cooktop. Also, modern hobs come with auto-ignition feature which automatically lights the burners.
2) Multiple heat control options
Different recipes require different cooking temperatures. With conventional gas stoves, the range of heat control you get is very limited, making it difficult for you to achieve perfection in a particular recipe’s taste.
Our modern hobs come with multi-flame burners; you can individually control the flame on the interior and exterior ring of the burner to precisely adjust the cooking temperature. Also, burners in our kitchen hobs are long-lasting as they are made from enamel-coated cast iron.
3) Sleek look
Apart from improving functionality in your cooking bay, modern hobs work great for elevating the aesthetics of your kitchen as well. They have a sleek look which lends a contemporary look to your kitchen.
To create a sophisticated look in your kitchen, choose a contemporary-style hob that has a durable glass finish. Range-topping hobs are available in durable tempered glass finish.
4) High levels of safety
Modern hobs are highly safe to use as compared to traditional gas stoves. The innovative flame failure function of our modern hobs automatically turns off gas supply whenever the flame on the burner goes off. You can also use the timer function to set a specific cooking time.
