No solar hot water when it’s cloudy?

If you don’t have solar hot water when it’s cloudy or are experiencing intermittent solar hot water supply, there could be a problem with your solar hot water backup system.

When customers experience trouble-free hot water when the sun was shining but, when skies were cloudy or there were a few days of low sunshine, they very quickly ran out of hot water or had none at all, a fault with the solar hot water backup system is usually the cause.

First we need to explain briefly how solar hot water systems work… Solar water heaters absorbing energy from the sun’s rays in the roof mounted solar collectors and transfer this to heat water stored in a storage tank.  For times when skies are cloudy or there are prolonged periods of low sunshine, all solar hot water systems come with a gas or electric back-up system.  The backup system continues to supply hot water when the sun’s energy isn’t available or strong enough.

For more information and advice specific to your problem, contact our solar hot water repair specialists for advice. We’re here to help. Our trucks carry thousands of replacement parts for all solar hot water systems so it is usually a quick and relatively simple repair.

Solar hot water system damaged in a storm or hail?

In Sydney, we can experience fierce and violent storms all year round.  Every year wind, rain and hailstones cause millions of dollars of damage to Sydney homes and cars. Rooftop solar hot water systems are sometimes one of the casualties of our fierce Sydney storms and we know to expect an influx of phone calls after such an event.

The team at Cheapa Hot Water are preferred and authorised solar repair service technicians for most insurance companies.  We’re often be seen on rooftops across all Sydney suburbs undertaking solar hot water repairs after a fierce storm or hail has passed through.

Thankfully, the majority of damage cause to solar hot water systems are purely cosmetic and can be fixed quickly and inexpensively.  After hail storms we often see hail dented rooftop water storage tanks – similar to the dents hail stones make to the roof and bonnet of a car. Sometimes the solar hot water tubes can be damaged.

If you’ve experienced storm damage to your solar hot water system, we are happy to liaise with your insurance company to initiate a fast repair.
