Shade & leaf litter — mature jacarandas/figs near the Botanic Gardens drop debris that slows circulation and insulates collectors.
River air = corrosion — fittings and relief valves near Benowa Waters show early weeping and rust staining.
Timers out of step — controllers drift after power blips; boosters miss the off-peak window and never quite catch up.
Drifty sensors — roof probes reading 10–20 °C off trick controllers into “thinking” the tank is hot.
Old tiled roofs — perished insulation and kinked return lines on retrofits choke flow.
Controller glance — note any error lights/codes and whether the clock/time-program looks right.
Listen at the tank — gentle pump hum good; rattling/cycling on-off means air or a tired pump.
Quick safety — active leak? Close the isolation valve beside the tank. Power tripping? Switch off the HWS breaker.
Snap a photo of the tank label (brand/model/size) and text it to us with your suburb.
Circulation pumps and airlocks
Controllers, thermostats & roof sensors (calibration/replacement)
Electric/gas boosters & elements
Tempering / relief / non-return valves and leaking fittings
Collector issues: cracked glazing, perished insulation, blocked flow, wiring faults
1) Verify — measure collector temps, confirm flow and booster draw, check timer logic.
2) Explain — show the fault in plain English; give a fixed price before tools come out.
3) Repair — most parts on the truck; safe roof access; neat finishes.
4) Prove — demonstrate storage temp, set tempering correctly, leave photo notes.
5) Backup — fit a temporary hot water unit if a specialty part must be ordered.
If the cylinder’s sound and one component failed, repairing is your best value. If the tank body’s corroded or failures keep repeating, we’ll price a sensible solar or heat-pump replacement and handle supply, installation, disposal and warranty—no surprises.
Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (plus others). Older or discontinued? We’ll hunt compatible parts or recommend a smart upgrade.
Lift bookings around medical suites, canal-front scaff steps, narrow driveways off Benowa Rd/Ashmore Rd—we bring the right kit and keep shared areas clean for strata and managers.
Often, yes. Morning calls help. If a specialty part’s needed, we’ll fit a temporary unit so you’re not without hot water.
Usually poor circulation (airlock/tired pump) or a sensor lying to the controller. We test both before replacing anything.
Not always. Relief valves can weep and stain. If the cylinder is perforated, replacement’s safer—we’ll show clear proof either way.
Yes. We aim for tight windows and keep disruption low—handy around Pindara and school zones.
We repair, replace and install heat pumps as part of honest “repair vs replace” options.
