Brisbane's Premier Solar Hot Water Repair Services
Our skilled technicians specialise in servicing and repairing a broad spectrum of solar hot water heaters. Facing issues with an ageing solar hot water system? We’re here to help identify and install a suitable replacement that aligns with your needs and budget. With the emergence of more energy-efficient or cost-effective heating solutions, coupled with incentives like the Australian government’s renewable energy scheme, upgrading your system can be a great idea.
When we service or repair your system, we’ll offer you transparent advice about whether a replacement is worth it for you.
Split System Solar Solutions
The split system solar configuration puts solar collectors on the roof and the storage tank at ground level. As these systems age, some components may need attention or replacement. A simple diagnostic test—disconnecting the circulation pump from the control unit and connecting it directly to a power source—can help identify if the issue lies with the control box.
Close Coupled Solar Systems
Close coupled solar systems feature both the collector panels and the storage tank mounted on the roof, creating an integrated, efficient design. Common maintenance concerns include the management of pressure limiting valves to maintain water pressure, ensuring relief valves function correctly after heating, and checking tempering valves for consistent hot water delivery. Close coupled systems also come equipped with a backup electrical heating element to guarantee hot water availability during less sunny periods.

This process is not only more sustainable, but can significantly reduce your energy bills, making it a highly efficient alternative to conventional hot water systems.
Yes, solar hot water systems can still function on cloudy days. While its efficiency might decrease slightly compared to sunny days, modern systems are designed to capture diffuse sunlight (the sunlight that filters through the clouds) effectively.
For longer periods of time with especially minimal sunlight, systems can be equipped with an electric or gas booster to ensure you always have access to hot water.
