Solar Hot Water Repairs in Arundel - Same-Day Service – Todd’s

Cold showers aren’t fun. If your solar hot water has stopped behaving — lukewarm water, booster won’t kick in, or the tank is leaking — our local team at Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical can sort it. We service Arundel and nearby suburbs daily and, in most cases, can get you back up and running the same day.

Same day service at no extra cost (conditions apply)

Local help you can rely on

Arundel homes see a mix of sunny days and coastal air, which is great for solar but tough on metals and seals. We regularly fix issues like:

  • Leaking or rusted storage tanks

  • Circulation problems between roof collectors and the tank

  • Faulty electric or gas boosters on cloudy days

  • Sensors, valves or controller failures

  • Temperature swings or no hot water at all

Because we’re nearby, we arrive with the right parts and the right ladders for two-storey roofs common around Arundel Hills and A.B. Paterson College pockets. No fuss — just a clean, safe repair.

Repair first. Replace only when it makes sense

A lot of breakdowns come down to a single failed part: a booster element, pump, non-return valve or sensor. If a repair will safely extend the life of your unit, we’ll recommend it. When the tank is at end-of-life or corrosion has set in, we’ll lay out cost-effective replacement options (including heat pump and solar) and handle the supply, installation and disposal — all with manufacturer warranties and our workmanship guarantee.

What to expect on the day

  • Diagnosis — We test collectors, pump/flow, controllers and the booster to pinpoint the fault.

  • Options & price — You’ll get a straight explanation and a fixed price before we start.

  • Repair — Most parts are stocked on the truck. We work cleanly and safely on roofs.

  • Hot water restored — We test, set temps correctly and show you what we’ve done.

  • Back-up plan — If parts need ordering, we can install a temporary hot water unit so the household keeps moving.

Common questions we hear in Arundel

Why do I only get hot water in the afternoon?
Often the booster or controller isn’t operating in the morning, or there’s poor circulation from the roof. We test both before replacing anything.

Can you work with my brand?
Yes — we repair most systems on the coast and carry common parts. If it’s an older or discontinued model, we’ll source compatible components or suggest a sensible upgrade.

How soon can you come out?”
If you call early, we can usually attend today in Arundel, Parkwood, Coombabah or Labrador.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you attend in Arundel?

If you call early, we can usually get to Arundel the same day. If a special part is needed, we’ll explain the timeframe and, if you like, set up a temporary hot water unit so you’re not without hot water.

Which brands do you repair?

Most major brands: Rheem, Rinnai, Solahart, Envirosun, Stiebel Eltron, Chromagen and others. We carry common parts on the truck and can source harder-to-find components for older models.

Why is my water only lukewarm or running out fast?

Typical culprits are a failed booster element, a circulation pump not moving water through the roof collectors, or a sticking thermostat/valve. We test each item before replacing anything.

The booster won’t kick in on cloudy days — what’s going on?

It’s usually a control issue (timer/thermostat), a failed element, or wiring to the booster. We’ll test power at the unit and confirm the controller settings so the booster steps in when it should.

There’s water around the tank — is my system done?

Not always. It could be a pressure relief valve or pipework leak. If the cylinder itself is rusted through, replacement is the safer option. We’ll tell you plainly which it is and why.

Repair or replace — how do I decide?

If the system is in generally good condition and the fault is a single part, a repair makes sense. If the tank is corroded, efficiency has dropped, or you’ve had repeated breakdowns, a replacement can be cheaper long-term. We’ll price both so you can choose confidently.

Can you supply and install a new system if needed?

Absolutely. We’ll size the right solar, heat pump, or electric/gas option for your household, supply and install it, and dispose of the old unit.

What should I do before you arrive?

If there’s an active leak, turn off water at the isolation valve near the tank. If the booster is tripping power, switch off the HWS circuit at the board. A quick photo of the tank label (brand/model) also helps.

Will I get a warranty?

Yes. All work is covered by our workmanship guarantee, and any parts or new systems carry the manufacturer’s warranty. We’ll note both on your invoice.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — licensed plumbers and electricians (QBCC 1126780 / Electrical Licence 71053) with full insurance. Safety on roofs and around electrics is non-negotiable for us.

Do you offer maintenance to prevent future issues?

We recommend a check each year (or before winter): inspect collectors, test pump flow, check valves, anodes and controller settings. Small adjustments here prevent big bills later.

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