No Hot Water
A failed element, thermostat, isolator or electrical supply problem may prevent the geyser from heating.
LOCAL GEYSER ASSISTANCE SINCE 1978
M&N Solars provides geyser fault finding, repairs and replacements throughout Pretoria North, the Moot and surrounding suburbs.
We assist with leaking geysers, failed elements and thermostats, faulty pressure valves, overflowing pipes, electrical trips, low hot-water pressure and burst geyser emergencies.

COMMON GEYSER PROBLEMS
A geyser problem is not always caused by the tank itself. Correct fault finding can determine whether the problem is an element, thermostat, valve, pipe connection, electrical fault or a cylinder that genuinely needs replacement.
A failed element, thermostat, isolator or electrical supply problem may prevent the geyser from heating.
Temperature problems may point to thermostat faults, electrical control issues or incorrect settings.
Water around the geyser or ceiling may come from the cylinder, valves, fittings or nearby pipework.
Continuous discharge can indicate pressure, temperature, valve or system-control problems that need assessment.
A tripping circuit may be linked to the element, thermostat, wiring or water reaching an electrical component.
Restricted flow, valve problems, pipework or pressure-control components may reduce hot-water pressure.
Popping, rumbling or hissing can be associated with sediment, heating problems or pressure conditions.
A damaged cylinder may release water rapidly and can require isolation, assessment and complete replacement.
REPAIRS, COMPONENTS AND REPLACEMENTS
We assess the complete hot-water system and explain which repair or replacement is appropriate before additional work proceeds.
Testing and replacement of failed heating elements where suitable.
Diagnosis of temperature-control problems and replacement of faulty thermostats.
Assessment and replacement of relevant pressure-control, safety and isolation components.
Repair of leaking connections, visible pipework and suitable fittings around the geyser system.
Removal and replacement where the cylinder has failed or repair is no longer practical.
Installation of suitable electric geysers and related plumbing components for the property.
REPAIR OR REPLACE?
If the tank is sound, replacing a failed thermostat, element, valve or fitting may restore the system without replacing the geyser. When the cylinder is leaking, badly corroded or no longer safe to use, replacement may be the more sensible option.
Repair may make sense when:
Replacement may be necessary when:

COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes. Urgent geyser and plumbing assistance is available 24/7, subject to team availability and travel distance. Call and explain whether water is actively escaping or causing damage.
Response time depends on the suburb, traffic, the team’s current location and existing emergency work. Our fastest response is generally within Pretoria North and the Moot, but we will provide an honest estimate when you call.
We assist with failed elements and thermostats, leaking connections, faulty valves, overflow problems, pressure issues, electrical trips and other common hot-water faults. A leaking or burst cylinder may require replacement.
If the cylinder itself has burst or is leaking, it normally needs replacement. If the water is coming from a valve, fitting or nearby pipe, the tank may still be serviceable. An inspection is needed to confirm the source.
Some discharge can occur as water heats and expands, but continuous or excessive flow may indicate a pressure, temperature or valve problem. Arrange an assessment rather than blocking or closing the overflow.
The price depends on the fault, parts required, access and whether the geyser can be repaired or must be replaced. We explain the finding and applicable costs before additional work proceeds.
Yes. If replacement is necessary, we can recommend a suitable capacity and quote for the cylinder, required plumbing components and installation work.
We can assess the plumbing failure and provide relevant findings or repair information where required. Cover and claim approval remain subject to the insurer and the applicable policy.
Our completed workmanship carries a one-year guarantee. Replacement parts, geysers and other components remain subject to their applicable manufacturer warranties.
If it is safe, switch off the geyser circuit and close the relevant water supply. Keep away from wet electrical fittings or an unstable ceiling, move valuables where safe and call for urgent assistance.
