Reusing working components to save you money
When a solar storage tank fails, it doesn’t always mean you need a full system replacement. Roof collectors and circulation pumps often remain in excellent condition for many years. By reusing these parts, we can:
- Lower your costs: We replace only what’s essential
- Reduce downtime: Utilising working-order components means faster installation and less disruption
- Minimise waste: We take steps to be eco-friendly, avoiding landfill where possible
- Maintain efficiency: You get the best balance of new and existing components
This approach saves customers thousands of dollars while also helping the environment.
The importance of solar hot water servicing
Every solar hot water system should be serviced at least once every 5 years. A routine check-up takes just 30–45 minutes and ensures your system runs safely and efficiently. Regular servicing:
- Extends the life of the system
- Maintains energy efficiency and lowers bills
- Prevents costly breakdowns
- Ensures water quality and safety
- Protects the manufacturer’s warranty
- Reduces the risk of leaks and water damage
Neglecting servicing can void your warranty and leave you paying for expensive repairs.

Customer case studies
Below are some examples of solar hot water system repairs we’ve recently completed for customers in the Ryde area.
Case Study 1 – Solar hot water tank replacement (Ryde)
We helped a homeowner in Ryde whose solar hot water tank had reached the end of its life. Instead of replacing the entire system, we installed a brand-new, energy-efficient Conergy storage tank and reconnected it to the existing collectors and solar pump, which were still in excellent condition.
This smart approach gave the customer the best of both worlds — the reliability of a new tank combined with the continued performance of their original solar panels and pump. It also reduced the overall cost of the upgrade and avoided unnecessary waste.
Case Study 2 – Intermittent hot water on cloudy days (Eastwood)
A customer in Eastwood noticed their solar system failed during cloudy weather. We traced the issue to their electric booster system, which had been shorted out by ants. With parts on hand, we repaired the wiring immediately, restoring hot water supply for both sunny and overcast days.
Case Study 3 – Read how we saved a customer $7,000 (Carlingford)
A Carlingford homeowner with an Apricus solar system was told by a large franchise company that she needed a full $7,500 replacement. After seeking a second opinion, we discovered the real problem was burnt-out wiring, which we repaired for just $450. The customer avoided unnecessary replacement and saved thousands.
Case Study 4 – Solahart Streamline repair (Ermington)
We repaired a Solahart Streamline system for a customer in Ermington that had stopped working due to a failed Rheem Salmson circulation pump. We installed a replacement pump, swapped out the faulty TPR valve, and tested the system to ensure it met plumbing standards. The customer’s system was fully restored within an hour.
Case Study 5 – Rheem rooftop solar hot water system repair (Hunters Hill)
A Hunters Hill homeowner contacted us about their Rheem solar hot water system. After diagnostics, we identified that all the valves required replacement. Once fitted, the system was back to peak performance, delivering reliable hot water again.
Case Study 6 – Solar hot water system removed from a roof (Putney)
A customer in Putney needed an old, unused solar hot water system removed to make space for new solar PV panels. We safely dismantled and removed the heavy unit from the roof, preventing the future safety risks that deteriorating brackets and fittings can pose.
Case Study 7 – Service of a Rheem Loline system prevented imminent breakdown (Hombush)
Servicing a Rheem Loline system in Homebush prevented an imminent breakdown. We replaced the faulty TPR valve and the corroded anode rod, checked the pump, sensors, and glycol levels, and recommissioned the unit. Regular 5-year services like this extend lifespan and keep warranties valid.
Case Study 8 – Repair of a Thermann solar hot water system (East Ryde)
We replaced a leaking Thermann solar hot water tank in East Ryde. While the tank was beyond repair, the collectors and pump were still in good condition. We installed a new Thermann 250L storage tank, reconnected it to the existing system, and had the customer’s hot water running again within the hour.
