Here are just two examples.

A dripping tap can waste up to 30 litres a day, which can soon add up to the equivalent of filling a bathtub.

Meanwhile, up on the roof solar panels covered in winter grime and early spring pollen can reduce power generation up to 30 per cent.

Preventative maintenance is cheap insurance against future problems.

Sharpe Group offers a range of service packages – including: evaporative open, solar and reverse cycle.

For example, if you have recently moved into a house with an existing solar rooftop array, our Solar Safe System Service verifies that your system is operating at peak efficiency and that all electrical connections are safe and meet industry standards.

Our solar inspection and testing also includes a free clean of up to 20 panels.

Similarly, our expert plumbers can quickly ascertain if that moist strip along the side of the house is a leaking pipe or fitting.

We have the latest technology and equipment to ensure quick and efficient detection and repair.

If you look around our website you will see a range of package offers on early maintenance spanning all our areas of expertise: plumbing, electrical, gas, refrigeration, heating, air-care and solar.
