Title: Cost of tempering valve
Post by: Marty on February 14, 2012, 10:58:06 AM

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering when installing a new TEMPERING VALVE to a replaced new complying wetback
Q:  How much would it cost?

Is 1600 reasonable?

Thanks

hi marty, obviously i hav`ent seen the job but a if that is $1600.00 you are being ripped off, i would think that a third of that figure would be ample,don`t forget to check licence of installer,cheers

Is it $1600 just for the valve? Cant be right. A high efficiency tempering valve rated to 99deg is around $250-$400 unless your getting a motorized one they are slightly more.

Thanks for your replies ALL.

I think he included in that 1600 sum, the cost of wetback installation too.


About normal ?


Thanks.
