What Causes Solar Hot Water System Problems?

Most solar hot water issues stem from one of three areas:

• Electrical faults
• Plumbing failures
• System wear and tear.

And because solar hot water units involve both plumbing and electrical components, it’s vital to call a qualified team that can safely handle all parts of the job.

Common faults include:

• Faulty element or thermostat
• Blocked or leaking pipes
• Pump failure or noisy operation
• Broken or dirty solar collectors
• Faulty controller units or sensors
• Rust or corrosion in the storage tank.

In many cases, early detection and a professional repair can add years to the life of your system. That’s why we always recommend periodic inspections – especially for aging solar hot water systems Brisbane wide.

Signs Your System Needs Repair

Not sure if it’s time to call for help? Here are some of the most common signs your solar hot water system Brisbane may be struggling:

• Water not reaching desired temperature
• Noisy operation, especially from roof panels or pumps
• Water leaking from pipes or the tank
• Poor pressure from hot taps
• Increased power bills (suggesting the booster is overworking)
• Solar panel glass looks cracked or discoloured.

Seeing any of those symptoms? Don’t wait for the system to fail completely. A fast and affordable solar hot water service Brisbane can often prevent major repairs – or full system replacement.
