Comprehensive Solar Health Check
Many Brisbane solar systems are “silent failures” – they look fine on the roof, but a faulty sensor or a scaled-up collector means the system is relying on its expensive electric backup. At Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage, we provide a comprehensive Solar Health Check to ensure your system is actually harvesting the sun.
Why Choose Us?
- Specialist Solar Knowledge: We understand the unique hydraulics of solar plumbing.
- Roof-Safe Certified: Our teams are fully insured and trained for safe roof-top repairs.
- Upfront, Fixed Quotes: You’ll know the cost of the repair before we climb the ladder.
Comprehensive Solar Repairs & Troubleshooting
Solar hot water systems are more complex than standard tanks, involving sensors, pumps, and roof-mounted collectors. Our technicians don’t just “guess” – we use diagnostic tools to ensure every component of your solar array is functioning at peak efficiency.
- Roof Collector Repairs: We fix leaking glass panels, replace cracked evacuated tubes, and repair the manifold headers that often fail due to Brisbane’s intense heat.
- Pump & Controller Diagnostics: If your pump isn’t circulating water to the roof, your system is just an expensive electric heater. We repair and replace faulty solar controllers and circulating pumps.
- Valve Maintenance: Solar systems operate under high pressure. We replace tempering valves to ensure safety and prevent water wastage.
- Electric/Gas Booster Repairs: We ensure your backup heating element kicks in correctly on cloudy days so you’re never left with a cold shower.
High Performance Solar Installations
A solar installation is a 20-year investment. We don’t believe in “one size fits all”; we assess your roof’s orientation, structural integrity, and your household’s peak water demand to design a system that maximises your “free” energy return.
- Roof Mounted Systems: The classic “tank and panels on roof” design. Highly durable, space-saving, and uses natural convection to heat your water.
- Split Systems: We install the collectors on the roof and the storage tank on the ground. This offers a cleaner roof profile and easier maintenance for the tank and booster.
- Brand-Authorised Installs: We are authorised installers for Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai, ensuring your manufacturer warranty is fully protected.
