Solahart

Bought a house with existing solahart water system. Running poorly since November 2021. Made many calls to the local franchisee for a service, but still no service. No local alternatives.

The worst lack of customer service ever... I originally contacted Solahart for information of my system that wasn't working properly, they advised the plumbers they used and after a month we needed a quote for Sewer connection also. I just happened to request a quote from the same plumbers for 2 different jobs no sooner to be invoiced by Solahart Mandurah. Despite asking if there was a callout fee for plumbing quotes (I was advised no). Amanda Brown has been rude & demanding that because I used the same plumbers they require payment, she is a rogue and wont be getting our business. I have contacted the CCC to report them

Cowboy contractors hired by company with no sense of Standard/compliance took few minutes to run AC cable between two dry wall and invoiced for unagreed $495 for pre wiring which is currently not approved by inspector as it’s not in metal conduit. Pricey outdated panels and terrible service makes Solahart least preferred provider for solar energy system.

Thankyou to the team at Solarhart Bundaberg. Very professional to deal with and quality workmanship. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this local business to other members of our community here in Bundaberg.

Tank is <10 years old. They say they should last 20 - 30 years. But only warranty for 5 years....because our is rusted out throughout already. Concept works brilliant, so find another brand. These are not up to standard.

The salesperson was pretty smooth & showed me all the positive power graphs with the $ saving; however, make sure that the exact model number of inverter & panels are listed on the quote because you may get second-hand, much older & lesser quality products installed, as I did. On the first visit, my existing working solar system was disabled when a worker was injured & I was left with no solar power for 6 days until they returned and installed the system with a second-hand inverter. I was initially contacted and told that there was a couple of ...

Salesman did a great job telling me that when the new solar hot water system was installed to replace an ageing system the existing pipes and cables would be checked for compliance and if anything needed remedied that was included in the price. After installation I discovered that the existing pipes in the loft space did not appear to be insulated which it says in the installation literature is essential. I've called the Newcastle Office several times since December 2020 and I've emailed the salesman. I keep getting told that the top technician...

Don't buy one...!!!
No Customer Service Available After Purchase....!!!
Solarhart couldn't care less once the system is installed and they have your money.
Don't be fooled by the marketing and so called discounts. Once installed, if there is a problem you go to a call centre which may as well be in the Phillipines. The call centre knows NOTHING about Hot Water Systems and they have NO direct contact with contractors....!!! There is absolutely no one i.e. a technician you can call directly to swiftly solve a problem ASAP. You have to sit back an...

Sales team were excellent, however...

Once the deposit was paid I didn't hear from them, until an SMS message after business hours from one of their subcontractors who did not have the full scope of works. Difficut to get satisfaction once the contract is signed.

Avoid.

Our unit is an Edwards system, 10 yrs old, and existed on the house we purchased 3 yrs ago. We were advised that Solarhart could service these units., even though they are no longer manufactured. We were concerned that the system was not heating properly. Although detailed information had been give to the 'office' when making the booking, the technician was unaware of our issues. The technician arrived and took off one end panel and did a visual inspection only. He said there was no evidence of leaks in the casing or pipes but because the sy...

First off sales and admin were really good, the company itself has not contacted me since i sent them an email, does not worry them, When the trades arrived they did not even say they were from solahart, could have been anybody luckily the name was on the truck, the panels, some are under stress, one corner down one corner up, are up and down and not straight on the roof, when I picked the problem i was told it was the roof, and the panel laying crooked on the roof was what they call a uphill system lol, they said it was to late that afternoon ...

Installers did a fantastic job on the day. All sub contractors. Very polite and well managed for a big install. More than what can be said from the actual business and their electrician. [name removed] at the mandurah store was extremely bad to deal with from multiple family members.

House nearly suffered a bad electrical fire.... One did happen behind the meter box from bad wiring but luckily being double brick and 2 story it was isolated.

Approached the previously mentioned mandurah store with report from personally hired electrician. Electrical fault due too solar install causing fire.
All received was attitude and no reimbursement. I'll be taking the appropriate action and reporting to electrical board and supplier companies.

During the cool part of the year I was happy that the team could act upon my cold showers within a week. John was helpful and educated me about the system well. Had a hot shower that night they were helpful with directions as to the government incentives and did not demand payment straight away

Two missed appointments. 3 goes at Installing, 1st time not enough rails to attach panels to the roof, 2nd time they ran out of cables. 3rd time all completed however the inspector failed the install due to non compliance. The inspector disconnected the system due to the sanger of burning the house down. The system had to be reinstalled by another installer. This whole process took 5 months

The hot water heater has been great but the very first time we needed a service call they severely gouged us, charging over $550 to install a $30 part (as they came without the part even though I had described the problem and a quick search on the internet after the fact told me that the valve needed replacing) plus charging us travel both times when they had told us the first time that the technician was dropping in on the way back through town as well as charging a full service call both times even though all they did was look at it on the way through town the first time. Beware if you are dealing with this company
