Showers should be hot, full stop. If yours swings from warm to meh, the booster refuses to wake up, or there’s a damp ring under the tank, Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical can sort it. We work across Carrara every week — Emerald Lakes, Palm Meadows, around Nerang–Broadbeach Rd, Gooding Dr and the river flats — and we often restore hot water the same day.
Same-day solar hot water repairs in Carrara (schedule permitting)
One crew, two trades: licensed plumber + licensed electrician
We fix pumps, controllers, sensors, boosters, valves, leaks, collector flow
Temporary hot water units available if a specialty part’s on order

Heat that never reaches the tank — collectors cook on the roof but storage stays cool (airlocks, tired circulation pumps, kinked/blocked returns on older retrofits).
Boosters out of rhythm — timer drift after brief outages near Heritage Bank Stadium event nights; elements or relays don’t engage when they should.
Sensors telling fibs — roof probes reading 10–20 °C off, so the controller “thinks” the tank is hot.
Weeping valves — tempering/relief valves leave rust trails on slabs near canal pockets and the river.
Collector headaches — cracked glazing, perished insulation, or shaded panels along mature trees by Emerald Lakes.
One visit, both trades. No juggling a sparkie later.
Upfront decisions. We show the fault and fix-price it before tools come out.
Stocked trucks. Pumps, valves, elements, controllers, sensors, fittings.
Plan B ready. If parts need ordering, we fit a temporary unit so you’re never without.
Photo notes. Handy for strata, landlords and insurers.
Glance at the controller clock and program; note any error lights/codes.
Listen at the tank: gentle hum ok; rattle/cycling = airlock or a tired pump.
Active leak? Close the isolation valve beside the tank.
Power tripping? Switch off the HWS breaker until we arrive.
Snap a pic of the tank label (brand/model/size) — text it with your street.
Pumps • non-return & tempering valves • controllers & roof sensors • electric/gas boosters & elements • leaking pipework & relief valves • collector/flow faults • thermostats & wiring
Verify — measure collector temps, confirm flow & booster draw, sanity-check controller logic.
Explain — repair vs replace with plain-English pros/cons and a fixed price.
Do — safe roof access, neat finishes, no surprise extras.
Prove — set storage temp & tempering correctly; show photos; simple after-care.
Fallback — temporary hot water unit while specialty parts arrive.

If the cylinder is sound and one part failed, repairing is the best value. If the tank body’s corroded or faults keep repeating, we’ll price a sensible solar or heat-pump replacement and handle supply, installation, disposal and warranty paperwork.
Event-day traffic near the stadium, narrow side paths off Gooding Dr, townhouse body-corp rules around Emerald Lakes — we plan around it, protect common areas, and keep things tidy.
Often, yes. Morning calls help. If a specialty part’s required, we’ll fit a temporary unit so you’re not without hot water.
Commonly the booster didn’t engage, the pump isn’t moving heat off the roof, or the sensor is misleading the controller. We test all three before replacing anything.
Not always. A weeping relief valve can mimic a failed cylinder. If the tank is perforated, replacement’s safer — we’ll show you clear proof either way.
Yes. We follow access rules for Palm Meadows, Emerald Lakes and nearby estates, and provide photo notes for managers.
Absolutely. We’ll size solar or heat-pump to your usage, roof and tariff, install it, and remove the old unit.
