What to ask before you hire
General questions worth asking any supplier. They are not about LIGHTNING FAST PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL PTY LTD in particular.
Pumps and pressure systems
- What flow rate and pressure does my house need, and how was the pump sized for it?
- Is a pressure vessel or controller included, so the pump does not run every time a tap opens?
- Who does the electrical connection, and will they issue a certificate of compliance for it?
- What warranty applies to the pump, and who services it?
Rainwater harvesting
- How much water can my roof collect in an average year here, and what tank size does that suit?
- Are a leaf screen and a first-flush diverter included?
- Will the water be used for drinking, and if so, what treatment does it need?
Any plumbing work
- Will a PIRB-registered licensed plumber do or sign off the work, and will you issue a plumbing certificate of compliance?
- Is the quote written, and does it list labour, materials and call-out fees separately?
