Will not ignite
Water-flow sensing, ignition, batteries/power, controls or gas-side conditions may be involved depending on the unit.
Gas water-heater diagnosis
Gas Geyser Repairs Durban
Gas geysers combine water flow, ignition, burner operation and safety controls. A unit that will not ignite, shuts down or delivers unstable hot water should be assessed as a gas-appliance fault rather than treated like an electric element geyser.

Our repair approach
Clear diagnosis before repair
We begin with the symptoms you have noticed, check the components and controls connected with the fault, then explain what needs attention. A proper diagnosis helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
How repair pricing works →Professional repair service
We diagnose the cause and repair the fault properly
Gas geysers are different from electric storage geysers. Instead of an immersion heating element, they depend on water-flow detection, ignition, burner operation and safety controls to heat water on demand.
The most useful booking information is whether the unit responds when a hot-water tap opens, whether you hear ignition, whether a flame appears, and whether the appliance then stays running.
What we check
We test the systems that can cause the fault
We use the symptoms to guide our checks, then confirm the cause before recommending parts or repair work.
Water-flow response
The unit must detect sufficient flow before normal ignition can begin.
Ignition system
Spark, power/batteries and ignition controls are considered according to the symptom.
Burner and flame
Burner condition and flame stability are checked where the fault involves ignition or shutdown.
Safety controls
Flame sensing and protection systems can shut a unit down when safe operating conditions are not confirmed.
Safety note
If there is any suspected gas leak, stop normal use and treat the situation as a gas-safety issue. Do not repeatedly ignite the unit to “test” it.
How we diagnose the problem
Gas geyser diagnosis follows water flow, ignition and flame
A stable hot-water cycle depends on several systems working together.
Confirm water-flow trigger
The unit must detect suitable water flow before the normal ignition sequence can begin.
Check ignition behaviour
Spark, batteries/power and ignition controls are considered according to the model and symptom.
Assess burner/flame operation
Burner condition, flame stability and sensing are checked where relevant.
Verify hot-water operation
After repair, the unit should ignite and maintain stable operation through normal water flow.
Our repair work
Repairs carried out by our technicians
We work directly on appliance components, electrical systems, cooling systems and controls, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.
Repairs we carry out
What we can repair once the fault is confirmed
Once we identify the cause, we explain the repair, the parts involved where applicable and what the appliance needs to operate correctly again.
Ignition faults
Ignition components and controls may be serviced or replaced after the fault is confirmed.
Flow-related faults
Water-flow sensing and system conditions can prevent or interrupt ignition.
Burner/flame faults
Burner condition and flame stability require gas-appliance diagnosis.
Electric geysers
Electric element/thermostat geysers belong on the broader Geyser Repairs Durban service.
Gas safety
A suspected gas leak is not a fault to keep testing
If you smell gas or suspect a leak, stop using the appliance, ventilate if safe, avoid flames or sparks and arrange appropriate gas-safety assistance.
No ignition, no gas smell
Book the repair and describe whether the unit clicks, displays an error or responds to water flow.
Ignites then stops
Tell us how long it runs and whether the water temperature or flow changes before shutdown.
Suspected leak
Stop normal use and treat the situation as a safety issue first.
Common questions
Gas Geyser Repair FAQs
Answers to the questions customers commonly ask before a repair.
Why does my gas geyser click but not light?
Ignition may be present while burner light-off fails because of electrode, flow, control or gas-side conditions.
Why does the gas geyser start then switch off?
Flame sensing, water flow, temperature or protection/control conditions can interrupt operation.
Do you repair electric geysers too?
Yes, but electric element/thermostat geysers use a separate repair approach.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Stop using the appliance, ventilate if safe, avoid flames or sparks and arrange appropriate gas-safety assistance.
