So we have a power vented water tank and the controller has failed. I called Clearview Plumbing to have them come out and either replace the controlled or the complete tank as it is about 9 years old. Clearview sent a plumber over he looked at the tank and came to the same conclusion as I did, replace the failed contolrller or the complete 50 Gallon Power Vented Tank. Here it comes, he gave us three options: 1- Replace with a tankless unit $10,458.00 2 - Replace with 50 Gal Power Vented Tank $4772.00 3 - Replace the gas valve for $1636.00 Are you kidding me, lets gouge the consumer somemore, Home Depot sells this tank for $959.00 and it might take two hours to install and yes the venting has to be upgraded to meet current building code. So I paid them their $75.00 and asked them to leave. Called Pete the Plumber, he will install the tank and upgrade the venting to meet code, total cost $1950.00. How can Clearview get away with this, they are selling a $950.00 tank for $4772.00 that is a 495% increase.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $75.00
