Heating discipline Southern Metro // 34.02° S, 18.52° E
Solar
Cape Town's irradiation makes solar water heating an efficient investment. We install and maintain solar hot-water systems, including pre-heat configurations that feed heat pumps or boilers.
Installation detail
Roof structure and orientation assessment, correct collector tilt, freeze and overheat protection, insulated pipe runs and controller setup with element backup.
Maintenance
Collector cleaning, sacrificial anode and vessel inspection, controller and sensor verification, and pressure checks to keep output at design level.
