I can wholeheartedly recommend using Pete from Plumb Solar – he has taken care of the plumbing in my home for over 7 years. He offers excellent service, he comes when he says he will and I absolutely trust him to get to the bottom of what needs to be done and fix it – all at a great cost!
When I needed a new roof, he also took care of that – which was an easy and painless task, again at a great price.
If you’re in need of a plumber, you can’t go past Pete from Plumb Solar!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Solar collector(s) are located on the roof structure, facing in a northerly direction. The sun heats the water in the collector, which then goes into a tank.
The hot water rises naturally in the tank – this process is called thermo-siphoning. This water is then made available to the house, either through a gravity feed or a pump.
The colder water at the bottom of the storage tank then travels into the collector and starts to heat up. This process is a continuous cycle.It depends on what type of system you are installing, but installation generally takes between two and four hours.
A solar hot water system is almost maintenance free. Rainfall will keep the collector clean; a quick wipe down is all that is needed should you notice dust or dirt build up.
Yes. A Plumb Solar hot water system can be used in temperatures as low as -30deg Celsius, although performance is reduced in such extreme conditions. Good heat output is still achieved in mild sub-zero conditions.
Yes. Although the efficiency of the solar collector is reduced on overcast days it will still be able to heat water for normal use. If it is a heavily clouded day or raining, then gas or electric backup may be required to maintain water at the required temperature. This system will be automated so you don't have to worry about running out of hot water on a rainy day.
The system will continue automatically and autonomously manage itself while you are away. The power supply to the pump should be kept on, or else damage may be caused to the solar collectors.
