Rules and certificates to check

Water heating work carries its own paperwork. Geyser installations, including those linked to a heat pump, must comply with SANS 10254, and solar water heater work needs a certificate of compliance (CoC) under SANS 10106. Heat pump installers need registration or licensing, so ask to see proof. Permit fees are set by each municipality and depend on the project value, so check with your council before a larger job.

Season and when to book

Winter runs from June to August, when heating is needed most, and a late request may wait longer for a date. Summer runs from December to February. Underfloor and heat pump work is easier to plan in late summer or early autumn, from February to April, so the system is ready before the cold. Ask for the installation date in writing when you book.

How heating is quoted and delivered here

Underfloor work is priced per square metre of floor, while heat pumps and geysers are quoted as installed units by tank size in litres. Give the floor area in m² for each room, and the tank size in litres for water heating. Work is available across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha; say which city and suburb you are in, since travel time can affect the date.

What to put in your request

Say what you want to heat, the area in m², and the heat source you prefer, such as electric underfloor, hydronic, gas or a heat pump. Describe the scope: new pipes and layout, or the replacement of an old system. Add the equipment you already have, your address, your deadline and your budget. Photos of the floor plan or the boiler help a seller quote accurately.

On BlaBlaPrice you write the job in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for any missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and installation date. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
