A water heater is the appliance you notice only when it fails — a cold shower, a no-hot-water morning, or a unit quietly leaking on the wall. Plumbers Ghana supplies, installs and repairs instant (tankless) and storage (tank) water heaters across Accra, sizes them to the household, and has done since 1987. Call +233 23 063 0020 — tell us your bathrooms and hot-water demand and we will size and price it from a quick on-site look.
Supply, Install or Repair — What You Need
Whether you are fitting a heater for the first time, replacing a failed one, or fixing a unit that leaks or runs cold, the work is the same craft: the right size, a safe install, and an honest answer on repair-vs-replace. We can supply the unit or fit one you already have.
Water Heaters We Install
Instant (Tankless) Water Heaters
Heat water on demand at the point of use — compact, no standing tank, ideal for a single bathroom or a kitchen. Sized to the flow you need so it does not run lukewarm.
Storage (Tank) Water Heaters
Hold hot water ready for a household drawing from several outlets. Storage units of the Ariston class are sold at retail in Ghana, so the unit price is on the shelf — but the installed price is on survey, because the mounting, connections and wiring decide it.
Solar (Solar-Thermal) Water Heaters
A solar water heater makes sense in Accra sun. We handle the plumbing — tank, pipework and connections — and coordinate the energy side with our sister brand Solar AC Ghana rather than guess the solar specification.
Sizing & Safe Installation
| Factor | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Number of bathrooms / outlets | Instant vs storage, and the storage tank size |
| Simultaneous demand | Whether one unit serves the house or several point-of-use heaters |
| Mounting & wall | Fixings, position and access to connections |
| Pressure & relief | Isolation valve and a pressure-relief path on storage tanks |
| Electrical connection | A dedicated circuit where one is needed (a separate electrical job) |
A water heater puts heat, water and power on one wall, so the install is done properly or not at all — correct isolation, a relief path on storage units, and a sound electrical connection.
Leaking or No Hot Water — Repairs
The common faults we repair are a leak at the connections or the tank, no hot water at all, water that never gets warm, or a unit that trips. Each has a different cause — a failed heating element, a thermostat fault, a connection leak — so we diagnose first and tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the better spend. A storage unit leaking live on the wall should be switched off and isolated until we attend.
What It Costs — Honestly
The unit and the installation are two different numbers. Storage water heaters of the Ariston class are sold at retail, so the unit price is on the shelf. But no Ghana plumber publishes a flat install price, because it genuinely depends on instant vs storage, the mounting, the water and power connections, and what is already on the wall. We do not pretend otherwise: we give you a price from a quick on-site look before we start — never a surprise after. Where a dedicated electrical circuit is needed, that is a separate electrical job.
How We Install a Water Heater
- Size it — bathrooms, outlets and demand decide instant vs storage and the tank size.
- Supply or fit your own — unit price on the shelf; installed price on survey.
- Install safely — isolation valve, relief path on storage, sound electrical connection.
- Test, set & hand over — run to temperature, check for leaks, set a safe temperature, show you the isolation valve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a water heater in Accra? The labour is one number and the unit is another. Storage units of the Ariston class are sold at retail, so the unit price is on the shelf — but no Ghana plumber publishes a flat install price, because it depends on instant vs storage, the mounting, the connections, and what is already on the wall. We quote from a quick on-site look before we start. A dedicated electrical circuit, where needed, is a separate electrical job.
Instant or storage — which is right for me? An instant (tankless) heater heats on demand at the point of use — compact, good for one bathroom or a kitchen. A storage (tank) heater holds hot water ready and suits a household drawing from several outlets. We size to your bathrooms and demand so it delivers rather than running cold mid-shower.
My water heater is leaking / gives no hot water — can you repair it? Yes — a leak, no hot water, water that never gets warm, or a tripping unit are the common faults. Each has a different fix, so we diagnose first and tell you honestly whether to repair or replace. Switch off and isolate a leaking storage unit until we attend.
Do you install solar water heaters? Yes — we handle the plumbing side (tank, pipework, connections) and coordinate the energy and panel side with our sister brand Solar AC Ghana for a full solar water-heating system.
