Key Steps in Solar Geyser Maintenance

Maintaining your solar geyser involves a few critical steps. Here’s what our experts at Easy Heat Solutions focus on during a maintenance visit:

1. System Inspection: We conduct a thorough inspection of the entire system, including the solar collectors, storage tanks, and connecting pipes. Any signs of wear and tear are immediately addressed.
2. Cleaning the Solar Panels: Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the solar panels, reducing their efficiency. Regular cleaning ensures maximum sunlight absorption.
3. Checking the Thermostat: We ensure that the thermostat is functioning correctly, which is vital for maintaining the desired water temperature. If needed, we offer thermostat replacement.
4. Pressure Valve Inspection: The pressure valve is a critical component of the system. We check for leaks and proper operation. If necessary, we perform pressure valve installation and repair.
5. Leak Detection and Repair: Any signs of leaks in the system are promptly addressed with our leak detection and repair services.
