    Usually had to keep immersion switched on to keep water hot and now got the chance to switch it off.

    Month or 2 ago i noticed top section of rad was warm but never seen that happen in all the years i have had it.

    I was suggested by them maybe it needs a service costing about euro 300 to see why i needed to have immersion on to keep it hot.

    Great sunny weather now has very hot weather.

    So curious whats involved in a service with these systems.

    I'd be talking to the plumber who installed your solar hot water and insulated cylinder originally. Half the year we get plenty of hot water from the sun and the other half we run the hot water off the boiler. Immersion is only used on special occasions.

    I was upstairs on landing hearing strange noises in immersion solar panel at 99 Wow hot and must be getting bleed of from a closed stop cock as pressure was at max and opened one above and closed and gauge back at normal.
