Solar hot water repairs, servicing and installation
- Hot water only on sunny days. Usually a booster fault or the booster is switched off.
- Water leaking from panels or roof tank. Collector or valve leaks get worse quickly. Call early.
- Pump running constantly or not at all. A pump or controller fault on split systems.
- Controller showing errors or blank. Often a sensor or power issue that's quick to fix.
- Power or gas bills higher than usual. The booster may be doing all the work instead of the sun.
Split system
- Layout: Panels on the roof, tank on the ground
- Pump: Uses a small circulating pump
- Roof load: Lighter on the roof
- Look: Lower profile
- Best for: Roofs that can't take the weight
Roof-mounted
- Layout: Tank and panels together on the roof
- Pump: None, heats by natural flow
- Roof load: Heavier, roof must carry the tank
- Look: More visible
- Best for: Strong roofs with good sun
Roof-mounted vs split solar
Both heat water from the sun, with a gas or electric booster for cloudy days.
Fast, Professional, and Reliable.

Bill came very quickly to replace my hot water system when it failed. I was really grateful for the timeliness of the repair. Bill took away my old system, which was fantastic!

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair my solar hot water system?
Yes. We repair boosters, pumps, controllers, valves and collector leaks on most common solar systems.
Why do I only have hot water on sunny days?
Usually the gas or electric booster has failed or been switched off. It's a common fault and usually repairable.
How often should solar hot water be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend a service every few years. It keeps the system efficient and helps protect the warranty.
Should I replace my solar system with a heat pump?
Sometimes. If the roof collectors are failing, a heat pump can be simpler to install and cheap to run. We'll compare both for your home.
Do you install solar hot water?
Yes. We supply and install roof-mounted and split solar systems with gas or electric boosting.
