Questions and answers
It depends on where the valve is, whether it can be serviced or needs replacing, and whether a thermostatic mixing valve is wanted instead. You get the figure in writing once we've found and tested it.
The kitchen runs hot but the bathrooms don't, the shower swings in temperature, the bathroom water turns scalding, or the valve drips. Any of those is worth a call.
No. NSW's owner exemption covers taps and showerheads but expressly leaves out tempering valves. We set it with a thermometer at the outlet so it's safe and correct.
No. The 50°C limit applies to showers, baths, basins and bidets, not kitchen and laundry fixtures.
Yes, in most cases. NSW guidance requires a temperature control device when a hot water heater is replaced, unless the new unit is a factory pre-set type that already delivers a safe bathroom temperature.
Sometimes. If cleaning the strainers and check valves brings it back under control, a service is enough. A worn element or a leaking body means a new valve.
