My geyser is not heating water — what should I do? Check your circuit breaker first — a tripped breaker is the most common cause. If the breaker is fine, check the geyser isolation switch. If both are on and there is still no hot water, submit a ticket under Plumbing Services. How do I know if I have a hidden water leak? Signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, damp patches on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when no taps are open, or a meter that keeps moving when all water is off.

A standard residential solar installation typically takes 1-2 days. Larger commercial systems may take 3-5 days. Grid-tied systems require a grid application which can add 4-8 weeks depending on your municipality. My inverter is not switching over during a power cut — what do I do? Check that the inverter is powered on and that the battery is charged. If the system appears normal but is not switching over, check the inverter display for fault codes. Submit a High priority ticket under Electrical Services with the fault code and model number. Do I need permission to install solar panels? For off-grid systems, no permission is typically required. For grid-tied systems you need to notify your municipality and apply for a Small Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) permit. We handle this process as part of the installation package.
