Report
We received fantastic service from Austral Solar when replacing our solar heating for our pool. They were the only place that recommended we move the tubing as you could see on google maps it was shaded by a tree next door. No one else suggested this. We were sold. The team were very friendly and got it installed for us ASAP even with the post covid rush. Thank you very much Austral Solar. We are very happy and have already used our pool more than we did all last year! Fantastic.

Report
I had Austral Solar install my pool heating around a year ago and the experience was fantastic. The quote was quick and decently priced, the install was quick and hassle free, and the product performed very well. When I needed a service call for a thermostat issue, Austral came and resolved it quickly. Overall I am a very happy customer and would recommend Austral Solar.

The team at AustralSolar have been a pleasure to deal with. After purchasing our new home and requiring a new solar panel, the service was prompt not only to supply but also install. We have since required a salt chlorinater which once again the service and price have been fantastic.

Report
Rang to get someone out to look at a leak in the collector. Austral could not make an appointment for someone to come out but wanted to pre-authorise a payment on my credit card. Apparently in 7-10 days someone would text me the day before they can come out. Very poor customer service.
