I engaged this man to have a look at my hot water system because the flow was to slow and it took long time to come out hot water. This man told me it would cost me $99 for call out including 45 minutes of services. Two men turned up. One man stayed outside clean the filter. One man went in my kitchen to play with two taps and went into toilet. He then went to front yard to turn the main water tap to full. According to him, the tap was only half full. They then told me that they need to check the temperature valve. They told me the valve is faulty because the cold water flows through it. They told me it would cost me $300 (including their call out fees) to replace the valve. I agreed. When the put on the new valve, I asked them to show me the difference. They could NOT. In fact, there was NOT any difference on the cold water flow between the old and new valve. So I asked them to put the old one back.

He then issued me an invoice for $198.00 saying that they have spent 1 hour and 15 minutes on site. I have paid them $99. Now this man [Redacted name] has kept sending me email for $99. What do you think? I am surprise to find so many good reviews on him on this site. Am I at odds?

Approximate cost: $99

Dear Jacob, We are sorry to hear that you felt you did not receive value and that you did not highly rate our services.
We were provided with a copy of your review prior to it being published so that we could respond to your concerns, which we did. Unfortunately you did not proceed with the dispute resolution process.

To respond to your review:
When you telephoned and had a discussion with Darren. He reiterated that the call out fee for Sustainable Solar and Plumbing is $99 including the first 15 minutes, which you had been told at the time of the initial conversation. You agreed to have him visit your house to sort out your plumbing issues. There is nowhere in any of our pricing documentation that our call out fee includes 45 minutes of service.

As you have mentioned you had two staff on site, looking at your issues: One cleaned the filter, while the other installed a new valve. You decided that you wanted the old valve restored, which they also did. As requested.

The SS&P team spent an hour above the initial consultation, again as you have stated. This second hour is $99, hence your invoice for $198. You were not charged for the valve that was removed, only the service fee.

We have had numerous excellent reviews for both our service and professionalism as you have mentioned in your email. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and excellent service. Our pricing is comparable to other plumbing services for the specialist advice that you received.

Of course, we invite you to contact us again to continue to discuss your concerns and are hopeful that we can resolve this issue together. - SS&P Team

Bought a gas stove for my elderly mother and need it to be installed and the old stove removed. SS&P were recommended by the seller, so we booked them. I received a call within a few hours to confirm the job, details & instal date. Being elderly she was nervous of people strangers entering her house. The installers were polite, on time, clean & show great patience’s while showing her how to operate the new stove. Cannot speak highly enough of the way you treated her. Once again thank you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a wonderful review. We treat everyone with kindness and respect and are glad that both you and your mum had a great experience with SS&P. - SS&P Team

Darren and Anthony are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Out solar HWS needed repair and they provided options and fantastic solution. It is clear that they care about the quality of their work. It is great to have a one stop shop for solar and plumbing.

We definitely do care about our work and are passionate about solar. Thank you again for your review! - SSP TEAM

We recently had our Solar Hot Water system serviced by SSP due to the recommendations on Word of Mouth and we couldn't be happier.

Anthony and Billy arrived early, were very professional and friendly and they answered any questions we asked and gave us a full understanding of how our system works.

They also looked at a kitchen mixer tap that was causing us some problems and gave us advice on how to fix the problem.

There is a valve on the hot water tank which is usually replaced every 5 years but even though our valve is 7 years old, there was never any sales pressure or suggestion of "it must be replaced now".
The guys checked it and noted that it is currently okay but may need replacing in the near future.

We would highly recommend this company based on the overall experience we had and it is only the 1st time we have used SSP but it won't be the last.

Great job by all the team.

Approximate cost: $245

Great service from Anthony. We had a problem with a tap and had to turn the water off. Anthony was already on a big job but came on his way home and sorted out our problem,

Darren and Anthony provided excellent service, from initial suggestion for a heater to fit our "false" fireplace, to removal of existing heater, installation of new heater, and clean-up.
Friendly and very efficient.
Will certainly be considered for any future work.
