For reliable advice on the best solar hot water heater for your budget and needs, call Curl Curl Plumbing today on 1300 566 292.

Q: What should I do if my solar hot water heater isn't heating up water?
If your solar hot water heater isn’t heating up water, there could be a number of reasons why. Check to make sure the solar panels aren’t obstructed by shade or debris. If everything seems to be in order, the heating element or thermostat may need to be replaced. Call in a professional plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.
