Temporary hot water system installed.
We were contacted by a customer in Castle Hill whose solar hot water system had stopped producing hot water.
Once onsite, our solar hot water specialist, John, ran a series of tests to try to determine the problem and whether it could be repaired. There were multiple problems with the system making it beyond economical repair. Unfortunately, parts for older hot water systems are often no longer manufactured, making them impossible to repair.
New solar hot water system installation.
A new Rheem Hiline solar hot water system (model : 52L300/2L) was ordered for the customer. Due to supply chain issues, the new solar hot water system couldn’t be delivered for a few days.
So the customer didn’t have to suffer the indignity of cold showers, we installed a temporary hot water system (Rheem electric 47 litre) in the customer’s laundry to ensure they still had trouble-free hot water until new solar hot water system arrived.

Within a few days, the new Rheem rooftop solar hot water system arrived and we were back on site to install it.
We disconnected and removed the temporary electric hot water system.
