Diagnostics
We test collectors, sensors and temperatures to find why your system isn't heating.
Solar water heating
Solar water heating that works as it should
Older solar hot water systems often lose output slowly. We find the cause, fix it and tell you plainly what's worth repairing.
What we do
Solar water heating services
Pump and controller
Replacement or repair of worn circulation pumps and failed control units.
Leaks and valves
We trace leaks, replace valves and restore pressure in collector loops.
Freeze and overheat protection
We check the safeguards that stop damage during cold snaps and hot summer afternoons.
Tank tie-in
Connecting your solar loop to a new or existing hot water tank correctly.
Decommissioning
When a system is beyond repair, we remove it safely and cap the plumbing.
Warning signs
Signs your system needs attention
Many problems build quietly. You may only notice that the water isn't as hot as it used to be, or that your power bill creeps up.
- Lukewarm water on sunny days
- A pump that runs constantly, or never
- Wet patches, drips or corrosion near the roof or tank
- Pressure relief valves that discharge
- Collectors that look cracked, cloudy or discoloured
If you see any of these, call us before a small fault becomes an expensive one.
