-------- DOMESTIC HOT WATER PANELS --------
Solar Domestic Hot Water Service Rates -
NOTE: Generally we do NOT service Solar Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems anymore, due to the age and fragility of the systems out there.
I can NOT be held liable for additional damage to the DHW system, nor damage to the property by the system once I begin work on the Solar Hot Water system. If you agree to the fact that your system may break and need additional repairs upon service, then we can assess service work on a 'case by case' situation only. This includes removals of the system.
Note: prices may vary based on copper prices.
