Solar heater installers Alzira/Valencia
 
Hi all, Newbie here, have just completed on a rustic house near Alzira, Valencia, I need to have a water heater installed, preferably solar, just wondering if anyone in the localish area knows any good companies that install them, have contacted a few but most are based in Alicante and wont travel to our area. Any help would be very helpful, thanks

If ​​guess you mean a thermosiphon system.

If so and you are even half way competent at DIY you could just buy a kit and install it yourself. It is easy.

If you are not, or you can't be bothered, any competent plumber can install it for you.

If you want guarenteed 24/7/365 very hot water go for one that has a built in electric element built in.

Frankly not normally needed in your area if the system is sized correctly in the first place. Sizing is down to usage....... Most kits I see sold are sized as 150, 200 or 300 litres.

In general having seen some of the installs done by those claiming to be solar experts I would avoid them like the plague.... vastly overpriced and/or vastly over specced and often badly installed :)

​​​​Ps I have Spanish relatives very close to you so should you need a plumber to install PM me and I will ask them for a recommendation.
