Are Gas Geysers safe? YES, ABSOLUTELY!

Written By: Ronald

Gas geysers are 100% safe, provided you work with professional experts and registered suppliers and installers like us.

Are Gas Geysers safe?

Our gas geysers use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a clean fuel that provides comfort to thousands of households and business consumers throughout South Africa. As with any fuel, safety in gas geyser installations, operations, and handling is imperative for consumers and the industry.

Safety is a core component of our mandate. 

LPG Association of South Africa (LPGSA) supports all our safety initiatives. For instance, our technicians, consultants, and communications staff have gone through LPG technical training regarding industry standards, including maintenance of the Safe Appliance database and Cylinder Verification database and incident investigation, done in partnership with the Department of Labour.

Our gas geysers’ safety features!

There is no shortcut around this – Precautious and adequate safety measures must be taken to select, install, and use any gas geyser. ALL our gas geysers have safety features: a flame failure device, an overheat protection device, a gas and water stability device, a combustion safety device, and an oxygen depletion sensor device.

Safe & reliable gas geyser installations

Our installers are certified and registered with the LPGSA. All our gas geyser installation work must be checked and quality assured, ensuring compliance with current rules and regulations. After every gas geyser installation, a Certificate of Compliance is signed off between the installer and you, our client.

Install in a well-ventilated area.

Ventilation is the most crucial safety measure when using a gas geyser at home. Our expert installers assess the most strategic and ventilated location to install your gas geysers, for example, mounted on a wall outside, on a balcony, rooftop, terrace, or other areas where maximum ventilation can be achieved, all according to the safety and quality standards as required by law.

Keep out of reach of children!

KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN’S REACH! NEVER ask your child to turn on or off the gas geyser or let them fiddle its knobs. We always install your gas geyser in an area out of reach of children and advise you to keep it locked in instances where the home has limited placement, for example, in an apartment building.

Servicing and Maintenance.

We keep track of our purchases to remind ALL our clients of the need for one of our installers to come and run a thorough service/maintenance on your gas geyser every 12 months. Your gas geyser needs to be maintained regularly like any mechanized item, including your car, washing machine, and stove. If your gas geyser hasn’t been serviced for a while, please contact us, and one of our expert technicians will come and service it. 

Gas geysers are safe!

Ultimately, YES! Gas geysers are perfectly safe if an expert, registered installer correctly installs them.
