Compare Local QuotesCommon Faults in Tokai
- Family homes with several bathrooms. Simultaneous morning demand against one cylinder, which reads as a fault and is capacity.
- Solar installations from the last decade. Controllers, pumps and sensors failing while the backup element quietly carries the load.
- Damp winters. Slow leaks less obvious in a roof space that is often damp.
- Ageing valve sets. Running overflows on installations around a decade old.
Is Your Solar Still Working?
The clearest test is the electricity bill. If the backup element is doing all the heating, nothing has changed from before the system was installed and the solar side has stopped contributing.
On a pumped system you can also check whether the pump runs on a sunny afternoon and whether the controller shows a sensible collector temperature. Repairing the solar side is nearly always cheaper than replacing the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check my solar geyser is working?
Compare the electricity bill against what it was before installation, and on a pumped system check whether the pump runs on a sunny afternoon. A controller showing a sensible collector temperature is another good indicator.
What fails first on a solar geyser?
The electronics: controller, circulation pump and temperature sensors. Collectors and cylinders generally outlast them, which is why a repair rather than a replacement is usually the right answer.
We run out of hot water on school mornings. Is that a fault?
Usually not. Several bathrooms in the same half hour exceeds what one cylinder can deliver and recover. A larger cylinder or a second one is the fix rather than a repair.
Do solar geysers work through a Cape Town winter?
They contribute year-round but output drops on overcast days, which is why every system has an electric backup. A working system reduces the backup's workload rather than eliminating it.
Is a broken evacuated tube urgent?
It should be dealt with reasonably promptly, since a broken tube usually leaks and reduces output. Tubes are replaced individually, and matching the diameter and length to the existing manifold matters.
