Solar thermal on Dorset’s older and protected homes

Dorset has a lot of older property. The county has one of the highest proportions of conservation areas in England, and its villages are often built from local stone, with Portland and Purbeck stone known nationally.

Many solar thermal systems on older homes have been in place for years. Common faults we see on older systems include a tired pump, worn fluid, failed sensors and a controller showing wrong readings.

We start with a full check. We test the glycol for strength and acidity, check the pressure, bleed air from the circuit and look at the collector on the roof. We test that the controller switches the pump at the right temperatures.

If the collector or pipework needs replacing on a home in a conservation area or a listed building, speak to your council first. Like-for-like repairs are less likely to need permission than a new or larger collector.
