Mudgeeraba Solar Hot Water Repairs — Find the Fault, Fix It Right

Cold showers and misty bathroom mirrors don’t mix. If your solar hot water has drifted to lukewarm, the booster won’t wake up, or there’s a damp ring under the tank, Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical can help. We’re in Mudgeeraba and the hinterland every week—from Mudgeeraba Village and Railway Street to Somerset Drive, Tallai, Bonogin and Worongary—and we often get hot water back the same day.

Same day service at no extra cost (conditions apply)

45-Second “Repair or Replace?” Answer

  • Repair when the cylinder is sound. Pumps, valves, roof sensors, controllers and boosters are everyday fixes.

  • Replace when the tank body is corroded or failures keep repeating. We’ll size a sensible solar or heat-pump upgrade and handle supply, installation and disposal.

  • Licences: QBCC 1126780Electrical Licence 71053.

Why solar systems struggle in Mudgeeraba

Leafy streets, steep driveways and gum pollen are tough on hardware. Our recurring pattern here:

  • Heat that doesn’t travel — collectors cook on the roof but the tank stays cool (airlocks, tired circulation pumps, blocked return lines).

  • Boosters half-asleep — elements/relays don’t engage after a grey run of days or timers are mis-set.

  • Drifty roof sensors — a probe reads wrong by 10–20 °C so the controller “thinks” storage is hot.

  • Valve weeps — tempering/relief valves leave rust streaks on slabs; looks like a dead tank but often isn’t.

  • Collector headaches — cracked glazing, perished insulation, shaded arrays under jacarandas along Springbrook Road.

We carry the right roof-safety kit for two-storeys, high pitches and long driveways—no drama, no mess.

Mini case study

Somerset Drive, split system: Family had hot-cold-hot mornings and the booster running all night. Controller showed collector temps 16 °C low; pump short-cycling. We replaced the roof sensor, bled the loop, reset the booster schedule and tempering valve. Result: steady ~60 °C storage, booster now rare.

What you get (besides hot water back)

  • One crew for water + power. Plumber and electrician together = fewer visits.

  • Straight talk. We show the fault and quote it 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.

Mudgeeraba Solar Hot Water Repairs FAQ — short, useful answers

Can you attend today?

Often yes—early calls help. If a specialty part is needed, we can fit a temporary unit so you’re not without hot water.

Why are mornings lukewarm after a cloudy spell?

Typically the booster didn’t engage, the pump isn’t moving heat from the roof, or a sensor is lying to the controller. We test all three before replacing anything.

There’s a rusty ring under the tank—dead cylinder?

Not always. A weeping relief valve can mimic a failed tank. If the cylinder is perforated, replacement is safer—we’ll show you clear evidence either way.

Do you handle steep driveways and higher roofs?

Yes. We bring roof access gear for steep pitches, tie-offs and mats, and keep internal stairwells/lobbies clean if access is through the home.

Can you install a new system?

Absolutely. We size solar or heat-pump to your usage, roof and budget, install it, and remove the old unit.

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