Absolute Rubbish product and terrible customer service

published

Chromagen solar hot water system only 7 years old is completely rusted and has been leaking for over 12 months. My hot water wasn't even hot, the system has just burst with water spurting out everywhere so now i have no hot water. After phoning Chromagen the lady on the phone who was unhelpful and rude told me that the warranty was only for 5 years. These solar hot water systems are super expensive promising to save people money but in actual fact it's the opposite as i now have to replace it. Every other company offers a much longer warranty why does your company seem to only offer 5?
Your website is not customer friendly much like your staff, you have no contact details go figure.
Wouldnt recommend your product to anyone ever!

I paid $2800 for solar hot water and it has rusted out in just over 6 years. Chromagen don't give a stuff as only 5 years warranty. Edwards panel on different house lasted 23 years. DON"T BUY CHROMAGEN

Solar hot water noisy rubbish

published

Valve was faulty, running water for 3 weeks before they came out, was part of a builders brand install ( make sure you look at this when building it is a rubbish product ) very noisy in the walls and they will not fix it. They can’t fix it! Hopeless design. Hopeless product . Maybe they should look in Europe where this product has been around for more than 30 years

Garbage: Do not buy

published

valve fails every 2 years, first time we had no idea it had failed and lost gigalitres of water into the gutters as it was like a tap running 24/7.
Any saving of gas was lost on water + $300 to fix
After 2 years it failed again, this time we caught it early because we knew what to listen for.
chromagen say this is "normal"in cold weather ...what a load of crap
10C is not cold...water freezes at 0C
ripping it out and replacing with a gas water tank.



These crappy products is what you get when government pushes energy schemes on new homes. Garbage just to cover energy requirements

It's absolute JOKE!!!!!!

published

This is the worst comany I have ever encountered. They are an absolute joke!!! Treating their customers like a fool. Lack of accountability and communication. Given my experience with Chromagen I would NEVER endorse either their products or their company and management, which has been poor on all regards to the point of complete negligence. Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.

They Dont Pay Their Trades

published

They send work orders requesting local trades do their jobs and service calls and then don't pay or return any calls following up payment. That's most likely so why many of you never hear back from your local Trades... If you're a tradie and get approached to do any of their work....avoid! It's seriously not worth it and you won't be paid anyway!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

published

The first system rusted out just on the warranty period ended up with water in the roof. Complained to Local installed/distributor Todds Plumbing they werent interested. Chromagen them selves come up with a replacement tank but we got charged $800 to replace it by Todds Plumbing. The replacement tank is not there two years and one of the fittings is amost rusted out. Got informed by Todds that they are notorious for rusting out there and if it hasnt been caught quick enough the rust spreads into the main tank and it is then @#$%^&.

You just get jerked around....

published

Chromagen installed our solar panels a few years ago and all has been well up until now. The system has stopped working, so I rang Chromagen to get someone out to fix the problem. The only electrician who serves our area didn't have the courtesy to call us back after a number of days, and Chromagen couldn't do anything to get him moving so we are now looking for another company to fix our system.

Chromagen solar rip-off!

published

Purchased 300lt Chromagen Solar 31/12/2013. Water tank assessed as not repairable by local supplier a week ago. Six months out of warranty! A quality solar hot water system should last at least 10 years according to my research. The local supplier approached Chromagen and was advised that no compensation for short life would be offered. Do not buy this solar hot water system. Our local supplier no longer offers this product.

I have had their Midea Heat Pump installed at an investment property and it's very good tenants are very happy with their savings. The whole process was without a fault from start to finish.
