Olympus sits on the high ground at the eastern edge of the city, on large stands with newer, bigger houses. Many households here already lean towards self-sufficiency, and gas tends to be part of a wider setup alongside boreholes and solar rather than a single appliance decision.
It is also far enough east that travel is a real line on some quotes, which is worth knowing before you compare them.

Olympus is one of the few eastern areas where a travel charge on a quote is defensible. Ask for it as a separate line rather than buried in the rate, so you can compare installers on the work itself.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Travel is a legitimate line out here. The far eastern edge is a real drive from where most installers are based. A stated travel charge is more honest than an inflated metre rate.
- Gas is usually part of a bigger plan. Where a household is already off-grid-leaning, gas hot water and cooking should be sized against the whole setup rather than appliance by appliance.
- Capacity beats convenience. If you actually depend on gas rather than merely having it, a twin-cylinder changeover is not a luxury. Running out is the failure mode that matters.
- Newer houses, simpler routing. Recent construction is usually easier to work in than the old suburbs, which offsets some of the travel cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some Olympus quotes include travel?
Distance. Most Tshwane installers are based further west, and the eastern edge is a genuine drive. Ask for travel as a separate line so you can compare the underlying work.
Is gas a good fit for a self-sufficient household?
For cooking and hot water it works well, because neither depends on the grid. For whole-house heating the cylinder consumption climbs steeply and other options usually win on running cost.
Should I install twin cylinders?
If you rely on gas for hot water, yes. A changeover valve means you swap on your schedule rather than mid-shower, and it costs far less than the inconvenience it prevents.
What does a gas geyser cost installed?
R3,800 to R8,500 for the installation excluding the unit, or R9,000 to R22,000 supplied and installed depending on flow rate and brand.
Does Pretoria's altitude affect a gas geyser?
It does. At this elevation appliances set for sea level burn rich, so altitude jets or an air adjustment and a combustion check on commissioning are part of a proper installation.
How much is a gas CoC in Olympus?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 for a multi-point system.
