Yearly Tasks
Get a professional general service — tank descaling, element and thermostat check, PRV valve test — ideally scheduled before winter.
Rs 300 - 600 (general service)Every 2-3 Years (Hard Water Areas)
A more thorough tank descale, since mineral buildup compounds over years in areas with harder tap water.
Rs 400 - 800 (thorough descale)Frequently Asked Questions
What's the single most important maintenance task?
A yearly general service before winter — it catches element wear, thermostat drift, and PRV issues before they turn into a cold-morning breakdown.
Does maintenance really extend a geyser's life?
Yes — a well-maintained geyser can comfortably run 8-10+ years, while a neglected one in hard water conditions may need major repairs within 4-5 years.
What is an anode rod and does my geyser have one?
It's a sacrificial metal rod that corrodes instead of the tank itself, extending tank life — not all models have a replaceable one, worth asking our technician during service.
Is maintenance different for gas vs electric geysers?
The core principles are similar, though gas geysers also need ventilation and burner checks — see our gas vs electric buying guide for more on the differences.
