Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting. I want to make sure that my plumber is not taking advantage of my situation and I knew you could help me.
We are having some minor plumbing issues addressed as part of the the sale of our home.
I had a plumber come in and he walked around my open basement (we are in a bungalow) pointing out things that should be fixed.
One of the things he quoted as needing to be done is to install a tempering valve at the hot water tank.
The previous owner had the tank professionally installed years ago and the tank does have a dial to control how hot the water can get.
My question is do I need to be spending the 400$ to have him install this tempering valve to meet code or is the dial on the heater sufficient?
Thanks!
