Certified Gas Installation
Gas Installations That Are As Safe As They Are Functional
GAS GEYSER INSTALLATION SPECIALISTS GORDON’S BAY
We’re here to help
Gordon’s Bay sits at the foot of the Hottentots Holland mountains right on False Bay, and the coastal exposure that comes with that setting means Core Gas Installations specifies gas geyser installations here with corrosion resistance and long-term durability in mind, much as we do along the Atlantic Seaboard further north.

Gas Geyser Installation Services in Gordon’s Bay
Our process begins with a site assessment covering bathroom count and expected demand, after which we supply and install a correctly sized gas geyser along with all pipework, valves and fittings, completed by our in-house plumbing team. Many Gordon’s Bay properties are holiday homes or weekend houses, so we also factor in how the geyser will perform after periods of non-use, favouring reliable, well-built units that don’t need constant attention.
Every installation is inspected and certified under SANS 10087-1:2024, and given the salt air off False Bay, we recommend a proactive maintenance schedule rather than waiting for a fitting or regulator to show visible signs of wear. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is particularly useful for reopening a holiday property after it’s stood empty for a season.
Whether you’re installing gas hot water in a permanent Gordon’s Bay residence or a weekend property by the harbour, Core Gas Installations can size, install, certify and maintain the system.
For weekend and holiday homeowners in Gordon’s Bay, we recommend a pre-season check rather than waiting for a cold shower to reveal a problem, and can schedule that visit alongside other False Bay call-outs to keep the cost sensible. Every quote covers supply, installation and certification as one clear price. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where needed. No job in Gordon’s Bay is too small for a proper site visit — even a single-geyser replacement gets the same assessment and sign-off process as a larger installation, because the compliance requirement doesn’t scale down with the job size.

WHAT IS CASCADING?
Cascading is used to effectively run a household with its multiple requirements.
For example: Use a 6ℓ geyser to run a kitchen, a 10ℓ – 16ℓ for the shower and run both to the bath, giving 18ℓ /min. Fit non-return valves so that the kitchen and shower can only run off their units.
