Solar Hot Water Northern Beaches.
Are you having problems with your Solahart or Rheem solar hot water system? No hot water? Starting to run out of hot water? Inconsistent hot water supply or temperature?
We were contacted recently by a customer whose old Solahart rooftop system had stopped producing hot water. The customer estimated that the Solahart system had probably been installed around 15-20 years ago when the apartments were built. After many years of trouble-free hot water, it had finally stopped working.
Solar hot water specialist, John, arrived onsite at the property later that day. The first step was to get up onto the roof of the apartment building and assess whether the old Solahart hot water system could be repaired. This is always our first plan of action as it is typically the easiest and most cost-effective option.
Once on the roof, John, could see that the storage tank and critical components of the Solahart solar system were beyond economical repair. Unfortunately, as water heaters age, the manufacturers stop producing replacement parts and there is no option but to install a new hot water system.
John discussed replacement solar hot water system options with the customer and they opted for a new Rheem Hiline solar hot water system with a 300 litre stainless steel storage tank (model: 52L300). Available in a range of popular Colorbond colours (Silver Grey, Woodland Grey, Headlan and Night Sky) – the customer choose Night Sky.
