Solar Hot Water Repairs in Nerang

Nerang homes see everything—river air, summer storms, acreage dust and the odd power blip. If your solar hot water swings from “nearly there” to “nope,” Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical will find the fault and fix it properly. We work across Nerang, Highland Park, Gilston, Carrara and the Nerang–Broadbeach Rd / Beaudesert–Nerang Rd corridor most weeks, with same-day help often possible.

What actually goes wrong here (Nerang-specific)

  • Roof hot, tank not: Airlocks or tired circulation pumps on older retrofits off Price St and near the river flats.

  • Booster won’t wake up: Timers drift after storms; elements/relays fail so evenings stay lukewarm.

  • Sensors tell fibs: Roof probes 10–20 °C out make the controller “think” storage is already warm.

  • Valve weeps & slab stains: Relief/tempering valves weep, especially where bore or tank water leaves mineral scale.

  • Collector problems: Perished insulation, cracked glazing, or shaded panels under tall gums toward Gilston and Clearwater pockets.

We carry roof-safety gear for highset homes, long driveways on acreage blocks, and tidy protection for internal stairs.

Fast triage we run on arrival

  1. Flow test — confirm circulation through collectors; bleed any trapped air.

  2. Controller sanity check — verify roof sensor accuracy and the program/clock.

  3. Booster draw — check element/relay operation and tariff window.

  4. Safety hardware — inspect tempering & relief valves, then confirm storage temp.

Mini case study — Gilston acreage

Morning showers flipped from hot to warm to cold. Roof sensor was reading 18 °C low, pump short-cycling, tempering valve scaled from bore water. We swapped the sensor, flushed the loop, replaced the valve, and corrected the controller timer. Result: stable ~60 °C storage; booster only on truly overcast nights.

Pricing, proof, and a backup plan

  • Fixed price shown up-front.

  • Proof on completion: storage temp verified; tempering set correctly; photo notes left for records/insurance.

  • No hot water meantime? We can fit a temporary hot water unit while specialty parts arrive.

When repair becomes replace

If the cylinder is sound and one part failed, repairing is best value. If the tank body has rusted or you’re chasing the same fault, we’ll quote solar or heat-pump replacement options sized to your roof, tariff and household — supply, installation and disposal handled, with manufacturer warranties plus our workmanship guarantee.

Nerang FAQs — straight answers

  • Snap the tank label (brand/model/size) and text it through.

  • Note any error codes/lights and whether the controller clock looks right.

  • Active leak? Close the isolation valve near the tank.

  • Power tripping? Switch off the HWS breaker until we get there.

Rave Reviews

Can you come today around school runs/M1 traffic?

Can you come today around school runs/M1 traffic?

Often, yes. Morning calls help. If a specialty part’s needed, we can fit a temporary unit so you’re never without hot water.

Why are evenings lukewarm after a stormy week?

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

There’s rust staining under the tank — is it finished?

Not always. A weeping relief valve or mineral-scaled joint can mimic a failed cylinder. If the tank skin is perforated, replacement’s safer — we’ll show you clear proof either way.

Do you work on shed-mounted or high-pitch roofs?

Yes. We handle shed systems on acreage and steep roof pitches with the right access gear.

Can you install a new system if mine’s done?

Absolutely. We’ll size solar or heat-pump to your usage and tariff, 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
