Your Local Solar Hot Water Experts delivering professional results

Solar hot water systems are reliable and economical to run

Solar systems have been on the market for some time and are especially popular in Australia due to our sunny weather that produces solar energy with ease. Australian technology has produced some of the world’s best solar hot water systems.

Households that are solar powered usually combine it with boosters backed by electricity or gas to maximise the power supply while enjoying cost savings.

New solar batteries are now making household solar energy collection even more effective.

Solar hot water systems are affordable and may have the added incentive of government rebates.

Once installed, solar systems generate free energy for your home, which provides you with major energy bill savings in the long term. A wide range of models are now available to our customers in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Nowra, Shoalhaven and Sutherland.

We have the knowledge to help you find the best solar hot water system for your household, including what models are available and what size tank you need.

Our experienced plumbers can assess your household usage including hot water taps, the number of people in your household, when they use hot water and what volume needs to be heated in a typical week. We also look at local conditions such as the climate for producing solar energy, other energy sources including gas or electricity supply and any off-peak availability, the water supply, average temperatures, household plumbing, tank location and what local government regulations apply to new solar hot water systems.

Solar Hot Water

A completely new solar hot water system can be installed by a plumber. If you already have the solar panels installed, we can replace your hot water tank within a day.

Solar hot water systems work with nature, and will just keep supplying power for free – you don’t need to panic over paying huge electricity bills.

You can also take pleasure in your solar hot water system reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuels.

Solar hot water tanks can be located indoors or outdoors, and on the roof providing greater home design flexibility, especially where there is limited ground space.

Choose between passive solar water heater with a rooftop tank, or an active solar water heater that pumps water around the home’s pipes using electricity and will suit parts of Australia with less sunlight.

Choose between direct systems or indirect systems where fluid is cycled in the thermal collectors to heat the tank – a more common option in cooler areas.

For budget options the solar hot water collector can be a flat plate rather than an evacuated tube or heat pump system.

For off-the-grid homes, solar hot water is the answer. Fully solar-powered homes can use extensive solar panelling, solar evacuated tube systems, passive solar water heaters and a solar battery for enough power for hot water throughout the year with a back-up fuel generator for emergencies.

Curran Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air has access to the big brand products including Rheem, Rinnai and Thermann – Apricus, Chromagen, Dux, Envirosun, Neopower, Solahart and this means we can answer your call and install a new solar hot water system quickly.

I found the guys at Curran Electrical and Plumbing to be great, they were open really friendly and helpful. They did the job on time with no mess. I also found them to be honest. I thought I had to replace two lights in the bathroom however while installing the new ones we found another switch so I did not need them replaced after all and the quote was adjusted to reflect this.

I found the work that was completed was to an excellent quality. The workers were professional in their responses to questions and they were always on time.

The contractors (both electrical and plumbing tradespeople) were personable and professional. It was great service, they arrived on time, checked each decision with me and worked hard. They were clean and tidy and treated my place respectfully.

Quick service and helpful staff both on the phone speaking to office staff and the young plumber who came to do the job

They assessed the job clearly, told us what was needed, and explained how they would work. They turned up on time, were polite, and did the work with a minimum of fuss.

Curran were able to come to me at short notice after a sewer disaster. They kept me informed of timing and Jake the plumber was clearly knowledgeable and passionate about his trade.

My mother who's in her 80's needed her toilet fixed. Curran Plumbing and Electrical did everything perfectly. Service was fast, plumber did a great job after informing me of the several options I had. He was also polite, well mannered and friendly, taking the time to ensure I understood everything he did. Service was perfect and I highly recommend Curran Plumbing and Electrical

Curran Plumbing & Electrical recently installed a new pump on my rainwater tank. I am very pleased with their work and also that they were able to do it within a few days of getting their quote. I also appreciated that when the quote was done that a video was taken of what needed to be done, so that whoever did the work knew what needed to be done.

Had a new toilet installed and 6 taps replaced with ‘quarter turn’ taps to aid my arthritic fingers. Perfectly happy with the work and the very professional and friendly tradesmen. Gold stars to Luke, Josh and Jake

Jake arrived on time, we talked thru our issue and he checked out our storm water problem. He was easily able to pinpoint our blockage and put together 2 quote options to rectify the fault. Jake is a good representative for the business👍

Well done team. Great to finally meet a professional company. You guys responded quickly, found the problem, gave a respectable quote (unheard-of nowadays) and got the job done. This is the place to go if you have any electrical or plumbing needs. Thanks again Curran

Sam was excellent. He was on time, polite, and did a fantastic and thorough job. He gave us detailed options for the job and we appreciated his honest and professional opinion. We will 100% use Curran plumbing again.

Sam was bang on time and fixed our septic issue very quickly. He also sent a camera up the pipes to ensure everything else was fine before leaving. We've enjoyed our ongoing relationship with Curran after they did some major works for us last year and our membership is well worth it.

The people doing the work were friendly, professional and informative and the work was carried out in a timely manner. You should be proud of the plumbing and electrical people who completed this work

Currans supplied us with constant updating of the project and when completed arranged for an inspection of the completed works.

From the first phone call Curran plumbing services were professional, showed up on time for scheduled quote , then me updated when the job was going to be completed . On the day of install all of the staff were well trained , well spoken and installed my new instantaneous gas hot water system like they were installing it in their own home . The quality in detail to make sure I was satisfied didn’t go unnoticed. At the end of the day I feel like I have gained a plumber for life . 100% recommend.

Luke was a Complete Gentleman and he explained every detail to my wife and i!! On this basis we excepted his Quote on the Spot and told him to go ahead and install our Brand New Australian made Hot Water System!! It was all Done that afternoon with Expert Precision d we had Hot water by 4pm!! Absolutely Marvellous Well Done! Sid you should be Very Proud of the Workmanship that Luke Performed!!
