Solar hot water services in Christchurch
Solar hot water
Canterbury gets strong sunshine, so solar hot water works well here. We install, service and repair solar systems across Christchurch and the wider region.
Solar hot water systems
Evacuated tube and flat plate systems, sized for your household and roof, with frost protection and electric or gas boosting for the winter months.
Solar water heaters
From roof-mounted collectors to the cylinder and controller below, we look after the whole system — not just the panels.
Servicing
A regular service keeps the system performing: collectors checked, pump and controller tested, frost protection and booster settings confirmed before winter.
Repairs
Not heating, leaking collectors, pump or controller faults — we diagnose the problem and repair it, including older systems other companies won't touch.
Maintenance
Planned maintenance for homes, rentals and commercial systems, so small issues like scaling or a tired pump don't turn into no hot water.
Installation
New solar hot water installations, including roof collectors, cylinder, controller, pipework and boosting — designed for Canterbury sunshine and frost.
Replacement
Replacing failed collectors, cylinders or whole systems. We'll assess what's salvageable and quote repair versus replacement honestly.

Signs your solar hot water needs attention
- Water not heating like it used to, even on sunny days
- Leaking collectors or pipes on the roof
- Pump or controller faults, or fault lights showing
- Booster running constantly and power bills climbing
- Visible damage, corrosion or scaling on the collectors
A simple maintenance checklist
Canterbury's sunshine does the heavy lifting, but solar systems here need frost protection on the collectors and a booster that's set up properly for winter. Older systems especially benefit from a pre-winter check.
Between services, keep an eye on the basics:
- Check collector glass or tubes are clean and undamaged
- Look for leaks around roof penetrations and pipework
- Listen for unusual pump noise or a pump that never stops
- Check the controller for fault lights or error codes
- Note whether the booster is running more than it should
