Is solar hot water right for you?

Hot showers powered by the Queensland sun

With all the sunshine we get in South East Queensland, a solar hot water system can do much of the heating for free on sunny days. When it’s cloudy, or the household uses more hot water than usual, the booster tops it up so you’re not left with a cold shower.

Thinking about switching, or need an existing system repaired? We’ll look at your roof, how much hot water your household uses and your budget, then recommend the right option: solar, heat pump, gas or electric.

Reagan came out to our property today to assist with a gas tank leakage. He was super detailed and thorough with his work, going above and beyond to ensure we were sorted and happy with the service. He displayed patience when explaining what he was doing step by step and offered fantastic education around what he was doing and potential hazards to watch out for. Great worker to have under your wing plumbing gang! Definitely recommend their service for anyone out there looking for a trusted and reliable company.
