Anyone who has lived in Sydney has likely experienced one of our recent ‘super-storm’ events with high winds and giant hailstones the size of tennis balls. As a result, Sydneysiders are well aware of how detrimental a storm can be to their property.
Such severe thunderstorms can inflict extensive damage to vehicles, roofs, decks, carports, etc. In addition, your pool heating components are like any other piece of outdoor equipment and require immediate professional repairs after hailstorm damage.
But don’t panic if your solar pool heating has been damaged by the wind or hail in Sydney’s recent storms!
Residents of storm-affected areas may rely on Solartech to assist them in repairing solar panel heater systems following adverse weather. We’ve assisted several households throughout Sydney with clean up after super-storms that destroyed their roofs and swimming pools with enormous hail and severe winds.
What are the Most Common Panel Heater Repair Services?
While solar water heaters for pool systems are incredibly dependable and trouble-free for most of their lifetimes, with millions of gallons of water passing through them over the course of a lifetime, repairs and maintenance are unavoidable.

How Often Should Your Solar Panel Heater Be Serviced?
Even though practically all solar pool heaters are built to provide consistent and energy-efficient service, they are not impervious to normal wear and tear. However, because solar water heaters for pools are used daily and all year, it’s likely that the user will begin to wear down the dependable equipment with time!
As a result, it’s critical to regularly maintain your solar pool heater. If you use your pool regularly, you should keep your solar pool heater at least once a year, as a general rule. Solar water heater for pool maintenance is a proactive measure that extends the life of the equipment while also ensuring its quality and functioning.
Servicing ensures that the equipment performs as it should according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This translates to more consistent energy efficiency and lower operating expenses.
Spending a little money on frequent maintenance to extend the life of your pool heater is far more cost-effective than paying a lot of money to completely restore its performance or purchasing a new solar pool heater.
If you keep up with routine maintenance, you’ll never be surprised by a cold pool, giving you the peace of mind that your heating will work beautifully when you’re ready to swim.
When is the Best Time to Service Your Solar Panel Heater?
When your solar water heater for pool isn’t being used as much, it’s the greatest time to get it serviced. When we want the water to warm up during the winter, your solar pool heating equipment will see the most use of the year.
On the other side, the off-season is in the middle of summer for most Australian homes. However, the pool heaters are frequently turned off because our summer weather is already so hot.
Servicing your solar panel heater over the summer can reduce the likelihood of small difficulties becoming severe problems later when you use the device more frequently. This level of solar heating maintenance guarantees that the unit is kept in top working order, conserving energy and increasing the machine’s life.
