Heat that doesn’t travel — collectors are hot but the tank isn’t (airlocks, tired circulation pumps, blocked returns).
Sleepy boosters — elements/relays don’t engage after a grey run of days; timers off by a few hours thanks to daylight-saving trips south.
Sensors that drift — roof probes read 10–20 °C off, tricking controllers into thinking storage is warm.
Valve weeps — tempering/relief valves stain slabs; looks like a dead tank, often isn’t.
Collector issues — cracked glazing, perished insulation, shaded arrays near tall she-oaks around Pine Lake.
Solar accredited. Plumbers and electrician available.
Straight talk. We show the fault and discuss any extra costs before we start.
Stocked trucks. Pumps, valves, elements, sensors, controllers and fittings on board.
Plan B. Specialty part needed? We can fit a temporary hot water unit.
Photo notes. Handy for strata, landlords and insurance.
Snap a photo of the tank label (brand/model/size).
Note any error lights/codes on the controller.
Active leak? Close the isolation valve near the tank.
Power tripping? Turn off the HWS circuit at your board.
Pumps • non-return & tempering valves • controllers & roof sensors • electric/gas boosters & elements • leaking pipework & relief valves • collector/flow faults • thermostats & wiring
Verify — collector temps, flow rate, controller logic, booster draw.
Decide — repair vs replace with simple pros/cons (and prices).
Do — safe roof access, tidy finishes, no mystery charges.
Prove — temps set correctly; photos + simple after-care notes.
Fallback — temporary unit while parts arrive (if needed).
If the cylinder’s sound and one part failed, repairing is usually best value. If the tank body is corroded or failures keep repeating, we’ll price a sensible solar or heat-pump replacement and handle supply, installation and disposal with manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.
Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (and others). Older/discontinued gear? We’ll hunt compatible parts or suggest a smart upgrade.
Often yes — early calls help. If a specialty part is needed, we can fit a temporary unit so you’re not without hot water.
Usually the booster didn’t engage, the pump isn’t moving heat off the roof, or a sensor is lying to 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 proof either way.
Yes. We bring the right roof-safety kit, book access where needed, and leave common areas clean.
Absolutely. We’ll size solar or heat-pump to your usage, roof and budget, install it, and remove the old unit.
