Tepid showers, a booster that naps through cool mornings, a damp ring under the tank — not how you want to start the day. Todd’s Plumbing & Electrical repairs solar hot water systems across Southport — from Broadwater Parklands and Australia Fair to Ferry Road Markets, Smith St and the hospital precinct — and we often get hot water back the same day.
Rapid solar hot water repairs in Southport
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
Heat not leaving the roof — collectors run hot but the tank stays cool (airlocks, tired circulation pumps, kinked/blocked returns on old retrofits off Nerang St).
Boosters out of rhythm — timer drift after brief power blips; elements/relays fail to engage on grey runs.
Sensors lying to the controller — roof probes 10–20 °C out make the system “think” storage is warm.
Valve weeps — tempering/relief valves stain slabs in salt air near Marine Parade.
Collector trouble — perished insulation, cracked glazing, shaded arrays behind mature figs near Broadwater Parklands.
Both trades in one visit — no juggling a sparkie later
Up-front decisions — we show the fault and fix-price it before tools come out
Stocked trucks — pumps, valves, elements, controllers, sensors, fittings
Plan B ready — temporary unit if parts are inbound
Photo notes — useful for strata, landlords and insurance
Only-warm water after cloudy days → we check booster draw and timer windows first.
Hot roof, cool tank → we confirm flow rate and pump amperage; bleed the loop.
Random temperature swings → we verify roof sensor accuracy and controller inputs.
Pumps • non-return & tempering valves • controllers & roof sensors • electric/gas boosters & elements • leaking pipework & relief valves • collector/flow faults • thermostats & wiring
Note any error lights/codes and whether the controller clock looks right
Active leak? Close the isolation valve beside the tank
Power tripping? Switch off the HWS breaker until we arrive
Text a photo of the tank label (brand/model/size) to speed parts matching
Service lifts near Australia Fair, loading zones around Scarborough St, tight side paths in older duplexes — we book access, protect surfaces, and provide photo documentation for managers.
Rheem • Rinnai • Solahart • Envirosun • Stiebel Eltron • Chromagen (plus others). Older/discontinued? We’ll hunt compatible parts or suggest a smart upgrade.
If your cylinder is sound and one part failed, repairing is the best value. If the tank body’s corroded or breakdowns repeat, we’ll price a sensible solar or heat-pump replacement and handle supply, installation, disposal and warranty paperwork.
Event-day traffic near the stadium, narrow side paths off Gooding Dr, townhouse body-corp rules around Emerald Lakes — we plan around it, protect common areas, and keep things tidy.
Often, yes — early calls help. If a specialty part’s needed, we can fit a temporary unit so you’re never without hot water.
Commonly the booster didn’t engage, the pump isn’t moving heat off the roof, or a sensor is misleading the controller. We test all three before replacing anything.
Not always. A weeping relief valve can mimic a failed cylinder. If the tank’s perforated, replacement is safer — we’ll show clear proof either way.
Yes. We book lifts, follow site procedures, protect finishes and supply photo notes for strata/insurers.
Absolutely. We’ll size solar or heat-pump to your usage, roof and tariff, install it, and remove the old unit.
