Many owners tell us that they had no idea that solar thermal panels need servicing. Just like your car, servicing on a regular basis is essential.

There are components within a system such as the pump and valves that must be kept in good working order. Regular servicing minimises your running costs and maximises the amount of renewable heat produced and of course maximises the life span of the system.

 

As a general rule of thumb a standard solar thermal

service should include:

 

• a visual inspection of pipework, insulation,
  collectors and sensors

• check of the systems hydraulic pressure

• check the level and quality of the systems
  antifreeze.

• check the flow rate

• test of pressure relief valve

 

amongst several other checks to ensure that the
systems is performing correctly.
