We Supply Solar Hot Water Systems Townsville

Harness the Power of the Sun

Sunny Townsville is the perfect place to make the most of natural energy, and at 1touch Plumbing & Gas, we're thrilled to introduce our state-of-the-art solar hot water systems to our community.

Unlike the common misconception, solar water heaters do not produce electricity. Instead, they utilise a solar collector, often placed on rooftops, to harness the sun's energy for your hot water needs. These collectors are made up of glass tubes encompassing copper pipes, ingeniously designed to absorb and convert sunlight into heat. There's a bit of science and a lot of nature's wonder at play here!

Upgrade your home with solar hot water systems in Townsville and embrace a sustainable, cost-saving future today!

Choosing the Right Hot Water System

There are two primary types of solar hot water systems to consider. First up, we have siphon systems. These are pretty fascinating! The water tank is perched right above the solar collectors, making use of good old gravity to send cold water down to the collectors for reheating—so there's no need for a pump. Efficient, isn’t it?

On the other hand, we've got split systems. Here, the water tank is typically tucked away in your loft space, placed below the solar collectors. Given this arrangement, a pump becomes essential to transfer the cold water from the tank back up to the collectors.

So, whether you're leaning towards a siphon or split system, we're here to guide and assist you every step of the way. We also supply electric, gas and heat pump hot water systems.
