Our Repair Process
1. Diagnosis
We don’t guess at problems. Our technicians systematically diagnose the fault using proper testing equipment and procedures. We explain what we find in plain language.
2. Honest Assessment
Before recommending repair, we consider:
- Age of the system
- Cost of repair vs replacement
- Expected remaining lifespan after repair
- Whether the fault indicates broader issues
If repair doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you honestly.
3. Quality Repair
When you proceed with repair, we use:
- Genuine manufacturer parts where available
- Quality aftermarket parts when appropriate
- Proper tools and techniques
- Testing to confirm the repair is successful
4. Workmanship Guarantee
We stand behind our repair work. If the same fault recurs within our guarantee period, we’ll return to address it at no additional cost.

When to Repair vs Replace
Repair usually makes sense when:
- System is under 8 years old
- Repair cost is less than 50% of replacement
- No signs of tank corrosion or structural issues
- The system has been reliable previously
Replacement often makes more sense when:
- System is over 10 years old
- Repair costs are significant
- Multiple faults or recurring problems
- Tank showing corrosion or rust
- An upgrade would provide significant savings
We’ll discuss your specific situation and help you make the right decision for your circumstances. Read our detailed guide on repair vs replace for more information.
