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

Hot water shouldn’t be guesswork. If your solar system is only tepid, the booster won’t kick in, or you’ve noticed a slow drip by the tank, Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical can help. We’re on the coast every day and service Mermaid Beach from Hedges Avenue to Albatross Avenue — often getting you back under a proper hot shower the same day.

Same day service at no extra cost (conditions apply)

Two-line summary (easy to quote)

  • Same-day solar hot water repairs in Mermaid Beach with licensed plumbers & electricians (QBCC 1126780 • Electrical Licence 71053).

  • We fix pumps, boosters, controllers, valves, leaks and collector flow — and can install a temporary hot water unit if parts are on order.

Why systems struggle here

Beach wind and salt haze along the foreshore are great for solar gain but hard on exposed metals and roof penetrations. Around Hedges Ave, Peerless Ave, and beach-side lanes we frequently find:

  • Corroded unions/relief valves causing damp slabs or rust streaks

  • Poor circulation between roof collectors and the tank (airlocks or tired pumps)

  • Booster elements not engaging after cloudy afternoons or cool mornings

  • Controllers/sensors drifting out of spec → only-warm water

  • Collector issues: cracked glazing, insulation breakdown, blocked flow paths

We arrive with roof-safe access gear suited to duplexes and narrow side paths, diagnose quickly, and explain the fix in plain English before any work starts.

Why Mermaid Beach calls Todd’s

  • Plumbers + electricians on one team — one visit, no juggling trades

  • 20+ years working on coastal hot water systems

  • Photo evidence and straight talk about options and cost

  • Temporary systems fitted if a specialty part needs ordering

  • Punctual, tidy, respectful of body-corp rules and parking

What we repair (today)

Pumps non-return & tempering valves controllers & sensors electric/gas boosters & elements leaking pipework & relief valves collector/flow problems thermostats & wiring

How the visit runs

  • Find the fault — We check collector temps, flow rate, controller program and booster operation.

  • Explain & price — You’ll see what failed, why it failed, and a fixed price.

  • Repair — Most parts are on the truck; we work cleanly on roofs and in tight plant rooms.

  • Test & set — Temperatures set correctly; we walk you through what we’ve done.

  • No hot water meantime? — We can install a temporary hot water unit

Repair or replace — the honest call

If the cylinder is sound and one component failed, repairing is usually the best value. If the tank is corroded or faults keep returning, we’ll price replacement options — solar, heat pump, or efficient electric/gas — and handle supply, installation and disposal with manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.

FAQ — Solar Hot Water Repairs Mermaid Beach

Can you attend today?

Often, yes. Call early and we’ll try to fit you in same-day. If a specialty part is needed, we’ll confirm timing and can fit a temporary unit.

Why is the water only warm after a cloudy afternoon?

Usually the booster hasn’t engaged, the pump isn’t circulating through the collectors, or the controller program needs correcting. We test each before replacing anything.

There’s water around the tank — is the cylinder gone?

Not always. A leaking relief valve or union can mimic a failed cylinder. If the tank body is rusted, replacement is safer — we’ll show you exactly which it is and why.

Do you work in duplexes and narrow side access near the beach?

Yes. We bring the right roof-safety gear, protect surfaces, and keep access tidy through tight pathways.

Can you supply and install a new system if needed?

Absolutely. If replacement is the smarter long-term option, we’ll size and install the right solar or heat-pump solution for your roof and household, then remove the old unit.

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