Built for bayside conditions

Canal breezes and salt spray around Bayview Street, Runaway Bay Shopping Centre, and the Broadwater are great for solar gain—but tough on pipework, valves and exposed roof fittings. Common faults we see locally:

  • Corrosion and leaks on tank fittings and relief valves

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

  • Boosters not engaging on overcast mornings or winter nights

  • Controller, sensor or thermostat failures causing lukewarm water

  • Collector issues: cracked glazing, loose insulation, or blocked flow

We arrive with roof-safe access gear suited to canal-front two-storey homes and tight side access—no drama, no mess.

Repair or replace?

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

Brands we service

Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (and others). We source compatible parts for older or discontinued models.

Simple checks before we arrive

  • Note any error lights/codes on the controller

  • If water is actively leaking, turn off the isolation valve near the tank

  • If the booster trips power, switch off the HWS circuit at your switchboard

FAQ — Solar Hot Water Repairs Coombabah

Can you come out today?

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

Why is the water only warm after cloudy days?

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

There’s water around the tank—does that mean it’s finished?

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

Do you work with body corporate rules and canal access?

Yes. We coordinate access, follow site rules, and provide photo documentation for managers/insurers.

Can you supply and install a new system if needed?

Absolutely. We’ll size the right solar or heat-pump solution for your household and roof orientation, 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
