With electricity becoming more and more expensive, as well as the new laws to protect the environment from the results of coal being used to produce electricity, a gas geyser installation is becoming more and more popular. Many people now opt for gas as it gives you ‘cleaner’ (less environmentally harmful) and cheaper electricity. There are however some important things to know about a gas geyser installations.
Firstly, it is of utmost importance that a Certificate of Conformity according to the Pressure Equipment Regulations that can be found under the Occupation Health and Safety Act (No 85 of 1993) is issued for the gas geyser installation. This certificate should simply be issued to you when the gas geyser plumber finishes the installation. It is however your responsibility to get it. You will not be able to sell the house without the certificate to pass on to the new owners. This might sound very complicated, but it is just stating that the gas geyser installation was done up to standard. It is also important that a person who is registered with the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Association of Southern Africa (LPGAS) is the one who issues the certificate.
This certificate will protect the homeowner should any damage or destruction come from the gas geyser installation. The insurance companies look for this certificate to prove that you were not at fault should there be a problem with it. You do not want your claim with the insurance, especially if it is a large claim, rejected because you do not have this certification.
