What raises and lowers the price of used heaters & geysers
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- Tank capacity and tank material decide most of a storage geyser's worth, with copper or stainless inner tanks lasting far longer than galvanised ones.
- A unit that lights and runs reliably at low gas pressure is worth more here than one needing full pressure, because winter supply drops.
- Dual gas-and-electric geysers appeal to more buyers than gas-only models, particularly in flats where the supply is unreliable.
- Missing safety parts — the flue hood, front guard, a control knob or the ceramic plaques on a radiant heater — pull value down and can stop a unit being sold as working at all.
- Timing matters in this category: the same heater draws far more interest as the cold sets in than it does in spring.
When an item is worth parts value only
- A storage geyser whose inner tank has perforated and drips once filled; the burner, valve and jacket may hold salvage value but the machine does not.
- Any smell of gas at the control valve or the body joints that does not clear once the connection has been remade properly.
- A gas heater with cracked or crumbling ceramic plaques and no front guard, which is a burn and combustion risk rather than a repair job.
- An oil-filled radiator that has lost oil through a fin seam, since it cannot be refilled and resealed reliably.
