The Importance of Regular Maintenance

A tuned-up solar hot water system can cut about 40% off your electric bill. For bigger families, Hawai‘i Energy puts savings around $1,900+ a year. Nice, right?

But Hawai‘i’s sun, salt air, and humidity are rough on gear. And because half the system lives on your roof, it’s easy to forget about—until corrosion, calcium buildup, and tired pumps start stealing efficiency. First it’s slightly higher bills or lukewarm showers… then one day, it’s a full-on failure.

What you can’t see can cost you every month—and later thousands in repairs. Let RevoluSun give it a checkup. We’ll spot hidden issues early and keep your system running like new.

Top Signs Your System Needs Maintenance

If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule a service:

  • Higher electricity costs even though your usage hasn’t changed
  • Water not as hot as it used to be
  • Leaks or rust around your tank or roof panels
  • Noisy pump or strange sounds
  • Build-up of calcium or corrosion on fittings
  • A “rust ring” around the bottom of your water tank
  • Corrosion build-up on the tank itself
  • Water dripping from roof-mounted collectors (look for water stains on the roof)
  • Pipe insulation shrinking, cracking, or missing completely
  • No service in over 2 years

Even minor issues like these can reduce system efficiency.
