Fast Service Good Performance

I called at 9 AM on a Thursday for a plumber to come to my house in Kanata and fix a running bathtub tap / faucet, which would not shut off. The receptionist (Nieve?) was most helpful and sympathetic to my situation. Plumber Gary arrived 2 hrs later. Job required a new tap handle, but as he did not have one with him, Gary proceeded to nearby Home Depot to get one. New handle installed, job complete. Gary was professional, friendly and polite throughout. Price of $282 (including 10% senior's discount) seems a little high, but the service was excellent and impressively quick -- under 3 hrs from phone call to job completion!

Outrageous quote

We were directed to this company from the Kinetico web site. We had a failing water softener and called them for service. They came to check out the unit after I agreed to pay an additional $70 on top of their service call (total $159 plus taxes) as we were living just outside of their normal zone. The technician showed up and confirmed that we had a leak by the water running down the outside of the unit (which is why the service call was made in the first place)and said that he would have to order parts. He was here for 15 minutes. Our kinetico system was still under warranty for parts. The repair estimate came back at $700. The job would be to unbolt the old unit and insert new unit, about an hours work. As the parts were covered under warranty, this means the labour charge represented $550 per hour! When asked if the quote was correct and that the parts were covered under warranty, they confirmed that. I don’t know any business that charges $550 per hour for this type of work. I do not recommend this company.

I’m sorry that your experience with our company wasn’t a positive one for you. We strive to provide an excellent customer experience at fair prices, but sometimes customers and businesses see things differently, and that’s to be expected from time to time.

I do respect your opinion, and if I were in your shoes, I might be disappointed as well. However, from my perspective, I feel I need to stand behind my team on the service and quotation they provided.

In doing my due diligence in reviewing your online complaint, I spoke with your technician, Marc, the office team, and listened to the recording of your phone call. I found my CSR to be friendly and empathetic to your situation. Even though you were located 40 minutes (one-way) from the furthest edge of our service area, she did not want to leave you without a solution. Because you did not want to deal with the original installer, and we were the only other dealer in the region, we agreed to make an exception at an additional charge.

Looking at it from your point of view, I can see how it may seem that this is a quick fix. But in reality, travel for the 2 required visits would be nearly 2 ½ hours more than a call within our service zone. Service work and the diagnostic would equate to 1½ - 2 hours. I can also confirm that Marc spent a considerable amount of time in the office dealing with the manufacturer to source parts and submitting the required documents to have the parts covered by warranty, with the shipping at our expense. As a business, we need to consider all of these things when putting together pricing.

That all being said we don’t want to leave anyone dissatisfied, and I am comfortable in honouring our 100% satisfaction guarantee policy, and refund the amount you paid. I regret that you did not reach out to us directly with your concerns, so that we could have resolved this more personally, and provided the refund sooner.

Again, I am disappointed you did not go forward with our service to repair. While not what we like seeing, we do appreciate your review, as all feedback is valuable in helping us improve our business.

We hope that you are able to have your water softener issue sorted, and wish you the best of luck.

Amazing repair of toilet + sink and bathtub unclogging!

I had an amazing experience with this company. Really professional booking system and friendly voice on the phone, plus email confirmation. I even got a text informing me when the plumber was on his way, a short biography, and a headshot so I would know who he was and when he would arrive. He was really friendly, professional, and gave great advice; we had everything fixed in less than two hours. The only downside was that it was expensive :)

Fixed one thing but caused a leak

Called and they handled my appointment booking with professionalism and were very friendly. Booked me the same day as they had a last minute cancellation. Tech showed up promptly and fixed one issue with our regulator in the shower however after leaving I took a shower and water started leaking into our kitchen.

I messaged and he got back to me. Came back a few days later to look at it. Couldn't figure out what is causing the leak he said and recommended a full shower/bath replacement and they offered us 35 % back but still haven't received the partial refund. He said he couldn't see the connections for fixing it . We got a second opinion and the second plumber has fixed it in 3 hours. See the pictures the second plumber company could easily access things. Going to contact about a full refund minus the service call fee.

Hi Gus, thank you for the review! I really apologize that we did not let you know that we were running behind - that was an oversight on our part. Happy to hear though that you head a good experience with the plumber once he arrived. Thank you for choosing our company.
