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.

Rapid solar hot water repairs in Nerang
One coordinated crew: licensed plumber + licensed electrician
Fixes for pumps, controllers, sensors, boosters, valves, leaks, collector flow
Temporary hot water units if a specialty part is on order
Licences: QBCC 1126780 • Electrical Licence 71053
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.
Flow test — confirm circulation through collectors; bleed any trapped air.
Controller sanity check — verify roof sensor accuracy and the program/clock.
Booster draw — check element/relay operation and tariff window.
Safety hardware — inspect tempering & relief valves, then confirm storage temp.
Clear photos + a plain-English explanation before a spanner turns.
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.
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.
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.
Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (and others). Older/discontinued models welcome — we track compatible parts or recommend a sensible upgrade.
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.
Often, yes. Morning calls help. If a specialty part’s needed, we can fit a temporary unit so you’re never without hot water.
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.
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.
Yes. We handle shed systems on acreage and steep roof pitches with the right access gear.
Absolutely. We’ll size solar or heat-pump to your usage and tariff, install it, and remove the old unit.
