Gas Geyser Installation – What you need to know

Carte Blanch did an extract on the dangers of an incorrectly installed gas geyser which cost the lives of a young couple.
The video below gives you a brief explanation of how gas geysers work.
Gas Geysers Save You Money
Gas geysers are far more efficient than electrical geysers and offer a viable and cost-effective option to have hot water for your home.
It has been calculated that the savings on your monthly electricity bill could be cut by as much as 40% by going with gas. Your electrical geyser has been proven to be the highest energy consumer in your home.
