AAA Heating and Plumbing is a firm that provides different and comprehensive HVAC repair and maintenance services to its clients in order to ensure that the job is completed as quickly as possible for their comfort.

Aside from that, their services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to ensure that clients may have consistent and excellent services for all types of units and brands and get the issue repaired for their clients’ convenience.

We like that they are quite diverse at what they do, with over 20 years of expertise in the industry, because they can perform services to furnaces and other units previously installed by themselves and even other companies.

It should be mentioned, however, that their service rates are not readily published on their website, so interested clients may need to inquire further for additional information on this topic beforehand.

Overall, we strongly advise interested clients to check them out due to their considerable field knowledge, 24/7 service availability and assistance, and a wide range of units accommodated.

Blue Planet Plumbing Heating & Drains provides repair, new installations or regularly scheduled maintenance to handle all of your plumbing and heating needs. This includes water heaters, hot water tanks, furnaces, and boilers.

The company has the network and resources to cater to clients with different water heater makes and models.

They accept same-day services and are known to resolve any issue, such as a leaking water heater during winter.

Even though they are closed on weekends, their lines are open 24/7 to tend to emergency water heater troubleshooting requests.  

We also appreciate that they offer free estimates for all their services. Some clients call just to ask for advice, and the company answers them — free of charge.

To add, they don’t have travel charges, which means that the total invoice is purely based on services and parts.

As we also heard, the company doesn’t try to upsell any of its services, especially for clients who just need a water heater repair instead of a replacement, which is more costly than the prior.

But do note that their services or workmanship warranties aren’t guaranteed aside from the manufacturer’s warranty that comes from new installations or replacements.

Lastly, we also admire the discounts they offer for senior citizens and single parents for any of their services.

Established in 2007, Plumbing & Heating Paramedics is a family-run business specialising in plumbing and heating services, such as water heaters, furnaces, HVAC systems, and boiler repairs.

For clients who have urgent water heater needs or other services, you can contact the company any time of the day. They can arrive at your doorstep within 30 minutes after your call.

Although, we did hear some clients bring up frustrations with unanswered calls and unresponded queries. For the most part, it seems that these were due to high demand for the company’s services.

For stress-free booking, you could book an appointment in advance by filling out their online booking forms, stating your specific request.

A word of caution: they are pricier compared to other companies, not only for their rates but also for their minimum service call of around $50. 

On the bright side, you could opt for their financing options to fund your water heater projects, especially for budget-conscious clients.

We are also pleased that they have a 100% 12-month warranty guarantee for each job completion. We encourage clients to keep this in mind considering water heater services are usually costly.

With over 50 years of experience in business, Instant Plumbing & Heating offers repairs and replacements for water heaters, drains, water treatment systems, gas fittings, and heating and cooling systems for homeowners.

Clients can contact the company even on weekends or call them for urgent requests in the middle of the night since they are open 24/7, which is reassuring.

You can get in touch with them via call, email or online booking. Either way, we noticed that they are very responsive and will get back to you within an hour after making the request.

Just a heads up: they have call-out fees and are relatively pricier, charging 2 to 3 times as much as the market price. That said, it’s best to call for a rough estimate on their on-site quotation to decide whether or not to engage their services.

The good news is that they have financing options that can help clients pay for the services in a way that’s easier on the pocket.

As for the clients’ peace of mind, they provide warranties for products and labour for a minimum of 3 years and up to 12 years for selected brands.

This is better in comparison with the typical 1-year parts and labour warranty of other companies.

RAY-Z Plumbing & Heating has been in the industry for over 20 years, serving both residential and commercial clients. They also install, repair, maintain, design, and inspect all components of water heater systems.

Clients can ask for a free quotation for the type of service they wish to avail of. Their lines and services are open 24/7, so you can contact them during your spare time.

But unfortunately, they have a small team of technicians, which restricts their availability and can cause issues when multiple scheduling conflicts arise.

For those interested, do bear in mind that they don’t have guaranteed service warranties. To put your mind at ease, insisting on a post-completion inspection is a good call to avoid any mishaps.

If you decide on a water heater installation, they usually provide you with free or discounted maintenance and repair services. 

However, there have been cases of service delays due to late product deliveries. One account had their product delivery pushed back 2 months after the set date, and some had to continuously ask for updates on late deliveries.

As for their pricing, they are relatively on par with the market price, having an average of $212 for their water heater services.

That said, it’s also nice to note that they don’t charge travel fees for their services.

On top of that, their financing options can also help you with costly or larger water heater projects.

Son-Rise Plumbing & Gasfitting Ltd has been helping the Calgary community via water heater repair and maintenance, plumbing, water tank repair, bathroom renovations and remodelling services since 1983.

Their services come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so rest assured that you have the right to claim any compensation for dissatisfaction after the job is done.

Full disclosure: we heard reports of unpleasant calls with the staff on the phone. So if you’re caught up in this situation, we suggest bringing this up to the one in charge.

As for operating hours, they are only open on weekdays, but to make up for this they offer 24/7 emergency services over the weekends — at a higher price.

That said, we also discovered that they are a little bit expensive compared to others, particularly with their mark-ups on parts. Some clients are shocked with the total invoice, contrary to their claims of upfront pricing and initial quotation.

This also applies to their minimum dispatch fee of $69 against the free call-out fees of other companies.

Regardless, they still gained loyal clients from their quick and effective services, such as clients who hired them again after a successful water heater replacement. This tells us that their premiumly-priced services are worth the investment.

Lastly, we like that you can pay with Visa, Mastercard, Debit, Cheques, Cash, and E-transfer.
