FAQ
Why does my solar heater not work in Nicosia winter?
In cloudy or cold weather the backup electric element does the work. If water stays cold, the element or thermostat may need replacing.
Why is my water pressure low in Cyprus?
Many homes rely on roof tanks and a pressure pump. Low pressure often comes from a failing pump, clogged filters, limescale or low supply from the mains.
Can a plumber repair a solar water heater?
Yes, many plumbers service solar heaters, replace cylinders and electric elements, and fix leaks on the roof.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backflow or no water at all. Turn off the main stopcock and mention “urgent” in your request.
