Why Is Our Price Different From Unlicensed Handyman?

Understanding why proper water heater installation may cost more than unlicensed handyman services.

What May Be Missing in Cheap Installations?

1
PUB Certificate
Work without licensed supervision may not qualify for PUB documentation, and insurance claims may be rejected if damage occurs.
2
Anti-Siphon Device
Prevents contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. Without it, backflow may affect the hygiene and safety of the household water system.
3
Earth Bonding
Connects the heater and metal pipes to the electrical earth system. Without proper bonding, electrical faults may cause electric shock or electrocution.
4
Drain Pipe
Discharges hot water released from the heater’s safety valve when pressure builds up. Without a proper drain pipe, hot water discharge may cause burns or water damage.
5
Mini Ball Valve
Mini ball valves are sometimes used in cheaper installations. They are less durable and not suitable for controlling heater water supply.
