I called Pascoe's and told them the Tempering Valve on my solar hot water unit had failed and needed replacing. They sent a guy out quite promptly who inspected the system then told me a new tempering valve is $800. He then pointed out several other components and said they were definitely going to fail within 6 months and I would be up for thousands in repair costs. My best option was to replace the who system which he wrote up a quote for $3500.

I got him out of the house, bought the exact same part from a local hardware store for $70 and had another plumber fit it for $80. There are heaps of negative reviews here saying they charged $800 for the same $80 part, or reviews where they replaced the whole system because of one easily replaceable part. The other positive reviews are from people who had a whole new system installed, they are probably blissfully unaware their old unit just needed a washer replaced.

Avoid these guys at all costs !!!

Approximate cost: $3500
