Geyser Season is Coming: Here’s Your Pre-Winter Hot Water Checklist

You know winter’s creeping in when early mornings make you rethink every life decision including that cold shower. But here’s the thing: most Karachi homes don’t think about their geysers until… well, until they stop working mid-shampoo. Before that chilly reality check hits, here’s your no-nonsense Pre-Winter Hot Water Checklist to make sure your geyser is ready for action.

Flush Out the Tank Bye Bye, Sediments 

Karachi’s water isn’t exactly “soft,” and over time, minerals and sediments build up inside the geyser tank. This affects water flow, reduces heating efficiency, and can even damage the element.

Quick tip: Flush the tank to clear out any gunk and keep your geyser heating like a champ.

Check the Thermostat  Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold

A faulty thermostat can either give you lukewarm water or water hot enough to cook maggi. Make sure your thermostat is functioning properly and set at an optimal temperature (usually 50–60°C for most Karachi homes).

Inspect Gas Lines & Wiring Safety First 

For both gas and electric geysers, loose wiring or leaky pipes are serious safety hazards. Do a quick visual check for cracks, exposed wires, or that telltale “gassy” smell. If something feels off, don’t DIY this part.

Don’t Forget the Water Pressure

Low pressure is one of the biggest geyser villains in Karachi. It not only slows heating but can also damage internal components over time. Clean your inlet filters and shower heads to keep the flow strong and steady.

Get a Professional Service Before Peak Season Hits
