Common Solar Hot Water Problems We Fix

If your solar hot water isn't heating properly, the issue could be:

Faulty thermostat or temperature sensor - Most common cause, especially in Chromagen systems
Blocked or damaged solar collectors - Reduces heat transfer efficiency
Pump circulation problems - Prevents hot water from circulating properly
Gas or electric booster not working - Backup heating system failure

Solar Hot Water System Not Heating

Our repair process: We diagnose the exact cause using professional testing equipment and provide you with a detailed quote before starting any work.

Solar Hot Water System Leaking

Leaking solar hot water systems require immediate attention to prevent water damage and system failure.

Common leak locations:

Pressure relief valve (PTR valve) - Often indicates overpressure or temperature issues
Solar panels on roof - Frost damage or worn seals in collectors
Connecting pipes and fittings - Thermal expansion can cause joint failures
Hot water tank - Internal tank corrosion or element failure

Emergency leak repairs: Available 24/7 across the Gold Coast. We'll isolate the system to prevent further damage and provide temporary solutions while arranging permanent repairs.

Backup Heating Not Working

When your solar hot water booster (gas or electric) fails, you'll have no hot water on cloudy days or high-demand periods.

Booster system repairs include:

Electric element replacement and testing
Gas valve and thermostat repairs
Control system diagnostics
Safety switch and wiring repairs

If it can't be fixed we can supply a new system from as little as $24 a week
