Our Process
How It Works
Initial inspection
A qualified engineer examines collectors, piping, heat exchanger, pump and controller to identify faults and assess system performance.
Recommended works
We give a clear written quote for repairs, component replacement or system flushes, and explain how the solar system will integrate with your boiler.
Commission, test and report
Once completed we commission the system, test hot water delivery and controls, and provide a concise service report and safety checklist.
What our solar thermal servicing covers: we check solar collectors and mounting, test the circulating pump and controller, inspect expansion vessels and safety valves, and examine heat exchangers and pipework for leaks or corrosion. We test the system fluid where applicable and recommend replacement if antifreeze or glycol has degraded. For systems linked to a gas boiler we verify the hydraulic and control interfaces so hot water delivery is reliable year round.
Repairs and integration: common repairs include pump replacement, controller faults, bleed and refill of systems, valve repairs and renewing sensors. We also tune how the solar circuit works with your boiler and cylinder stat to make the most of free solar heat while keeping a safe boiler fallback. All work is documented and backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Annual servicing is recommended to keep collectors, pumps and controllers operating efficiently and to spot early signs of leaks or fluid degradation. Regular checks protect performance and help avoid cold spells in hot water supply.
