Plumbing in Cape Town
Cape Town's plumbing market was reshaped by the 2017–2018 drought, when the threat of Day Zero pushed thousands of households to install rainwater tanks, greywater systems, wellpoints and boreholes. The City of Cape Town's Water By-law also requires a plumbing compliance certificate before a property can be transferred, so sellers regularly call plumbers to check geysers, valves, stormwater connections and water meters. Older homes in the southern suburbs and City Bowl still have galvanised pipes due for replacement, while the Atlantic Seaboard's salt air shortens the life of exposed fittings. Restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks add steady demand for drain and geyser work.
Typical heat pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add heat pumps to existing geysers to lower monthly electricity bills
- Complexes: complexes need body corporate approval for where outdoor units are mounted
- Hospitality: hotels and lodges fit commercial heat pumps for rooms and pools
- Restaurants: restaurants use heat pumps to cut the cost of large hot water volumes
- Offices: offices fit heat pumps to geysers serving kitchens and staff showers
- Retail: shopping centres fit heat pumps for food courts and staff facilities
