As a Canadian company, Capital Plumbing & Heating has always done its best to embody the characteristics people have come to love about Canadians. So valued are these attributes, in fact, that even our mascot sports the maple leaf emblem. Our zeal for being Canadian is not just blind patriotism. We take the Canadian values of kindness and honesty to heart because, when our truck pulls up into your driveway with the words “We’re Nuts About Our Customers” embellished on it, we expect you to trust us to live up to that motto. As a result of our dedication, it’s only natural that our customers are nuts about us, too. Here are but a few testimonials from them: We required a plumber on an urgent basis one evening and called Capital Mechanical & Heating. I called a couple of plumbers and they were the first to call back. The work was very well done, and he even cleaned up a bit of water spillage. He explained what he did and why, which was very helpful. Epcor was also involved in this repair and he worked directly with them to get the job done. I will definitely use Capital Mechanical again for any future plumbing issues. Mark in Edmonton Capital Mechanical and their star plumber Richard have been performing plumbing and furnace work at our home for two years now, to our extreme happiness and satisfaction. The service is excellent; the Capital Club offers premium service and expert work. My family is very happy with the work done, the very reasonable costs for this work and the personable individuals we deal with. The owners of the company can be very happy with their staff, especially Richard. Also, the Capital Club means we get priority service, discounts on a wide variety of services, and a person who knows all the quirks of our older home. They truly are exceptional. Elizabeth Smith Just a short note…. Thank you for the continued excellent service from your employees. I truly appreciate their personal efforts, and also yours for keeping the residential needs in mind! Thanks for developing the Capital Club and its benefits. I look forward to doing business with you in the months ahead! Joanne Zbetnoff The phone representative was pleasant and courteous.

Running toilets and leaky faucets are two of the most common plumbing problems. When faced with either situation, homeowners either take matters into their own hands or call a professional plumber. Those who don’t trust their plumbing troubleshooting skills are likely to rely on a professional. Still, there are times when some plumbers end up disappointing homeowners and making them wish they’d taken the DIY route instead! Fortunately, this is not something you’d experience with us at Capital Plumbing & Heating. Here are 4 great qualities that make us different from others:

1. Our Level of Expertise

The last thing you want when you call for an emergency plumber to fix a running toilet or a leaky faucet is to wish that you had done the fixing on your own (because the plumber turned out to lack the necessary plumbing skills to solve your plumbing issues). In contrast, we get problems resolved efficiently because our plumbers are expertly trained to provide a high level of service to our customers in Edmonton and Alberta.

2. Excellent Customer Service

You call on an emergency hotline to report your broken basement pipes, and you’re greeted by an automated telephone answering service. That’s not what you’ll get with us. We’re nuts about our customers so we have a real person ready to take in calls at any time, even after office hours. This way, we form long-lasting relationships with our customers.

3. Reliability and Trustworthiness

Our technicians are the type of people you won’t think twice about opening your door to and letting in. We do a background check and drug test on all our workers before hiring them, to ensure that our clients are in safe hands. They are also insured, licensed, and fully bonded. We provide our workers with proper uniforms to maintain a level of professionalism, both in service and appearance.

4. No Surprise Charges

Before we start on any job, we make sure our customers and our employees agree with the repair or replacement costs. We know how these expenses can take their toll on the household budget so we make sure to be straightforward with our pricing. Plus, we provide guarantees to protect our customers’ interests. Stop taking chances and calling on heating and plumbing professionals at random. Turn to Capital Plumbing & Heating to efficiently resolve your heating or plumbing issues in Edmonton and surrounding areas. Call 780.451.5666 and experience first-hand the difference we offer.

When you decide to work with us, there is never any “buyer’s remorse” because we strive to do the following: 1. Superior Customer Service Other plumbing companies tend to let answering machines greet calling clients. This often leaves you wondering whether or not the company got your message. At Capital Plumbing & Heating, you never have to worry about that ever again! We have our phones professionally staffed 24 hours a day, guaranteeing that you always speak to a real live member of our team. 2. Guaranteed Appointments Simply put, we understand that your time is valuable and that you would rather be spending your time doing something else than waiting for a plumber to arrive.

Our plumbers always follow through with their promises and arrive at your home on the dot, freeing you up to take care of more important matters. 3. Overstock on Parts We are proud to stock our trucks with 185 percent more parts than other services do.

Not only does this save you time, it also saves you money! 4. Transparent Billing When it comes to settling your dues, Capital Plumbing & Heating will never try to pull a fast one on you. From the moment we discuss the job you need to be done, we show you exactly how much you will have to spend. With our Straight Forward Pricing method, you never have to experience invoice shock! 5. Satisfaction Guaranteed Other plumbing services give a “Concrete Guarantee”—wherein their guarantees expire the second their truck pulls out of your concrete driveway. We abhor this practice. We offer a true 100 PERCENT SATISFACTION GUARANTEE—if you aren’t happy with the work, we’ll own up to our mistake and redo the job absolutely free. We can keep telling you why we’re the best plumbing service in Edmonton, or we can simply show you why we are the best. For all your plumbing needs and emergencies, call a Capital Plumbing & Heating branch near you. We’ll be more than happy to help you, regardless of the size of the job.

Choosing a Plumbing & Heating Company in Edmonton Usually, when one thinks of a plumber they think about an emergency like no heat, or a burst pipe where you find yourself cold or standing in water in the middle of the night. These are the instances where you frantically search for a phone number to try and have someone come in right away to look after the problem. This happens to the best of us but frequently it may also result in poor plumbing repairs as well as overpaying for the job and getting ripped off. Often in this type of emergency, the professional tries to fix the job as a temporary patch, and often it will only get worse down the road and maybe even cost you a great deal more money than having it fixed beforehand before it gets too bad. Time to plan ahead. Ideally what you ought to do is locate a plumber & heating company in Edmonton and ask them a couple of questions to find out if they would best suit your needs in case of an emergency, or possibly any other occurrences where you may require their professional services. Focus on important issues like after-hours service, live answering, and if their technicians are trained, background checked and drug tested. An expert plumber goes through a great deal of training to become licensed in this market and frequently they do not mind answering several questions in order for you to find out whether they are best suited for your wants. A great step to take is to check their feedback where possible. Are they BBB members, do they have online reviews, etc? Locating other individuals online who have dealt with them in the past often will tell you in a testimonial whether the business is good to deal with or not. You can ask them whether they are licensed or whether all their technicians are licensed in their trade. You can ask whether or not they’re insured, both comprehensive coverage and WCB coverage and do they offer a 24-hour emergency service. It really is excellent to know how soon they are able to be at your house in case of emergency. Finding out in advance whether the company has a Straight Forward Pricing structure, which will prepare you for calling them during emergencies and holidays, will provide you with a good idea as to what you’re going to have to invest when you have to call someone in because of an emergency. It is often ideal to locate professionals that will permit you to pay for the job as soon as it’s done and you are satisfied with the outcome. All too often bad scenarios can come up when payments are made ahead of time unless you ensure that they have their “Prepaid Contractor’s License”. This is a legal requirement in the Province of Alberta and a lot of “cut-rate” plumbers do not have it. Allowing them to work in your home without it is illegal and if the company has it, you know you are protected. A great company will also give you guarantees that if something happens to go wrong with their repairs or the work they’ve done, they will come back free of charge to assess the scenario and fix anything if it was their mistake. Lots of companies say they do, but few do it. Seeking the finest Plumbers in Edmonton? Look no further! www.capitalplumbing.ca 780-451-5666, 24-hour service, live answering.

There are many advantages to going with a tankless water heater. From increased energy efficiency and lowered operating costs to space savings and extended lifespan, find out more about what makes for good reasons to go tankless. Energy Savings / Operating Costs The first thought on tankless water heaters is generally: how much energy/money am I going to save? Well right off the bat, you're going to be spending MORE money to get a tankless water heater and all its plumbing in place. While a tankless water heater costs more upfront, your operating costs down the line should start to make up for it. What you're saving is in not having to spend money on standby heat, meaning you're not wasting money heating water in a tank that's just sitting idly waiting for someone to need hot water. Tankless systems provide that hot water on demand, instantaneously, when you need it, so you don't have to waste energy heating unused water. You're also not losing heat that's idly sitting in a tank that, while insulated, is still going to lose heat and require constant reheating. Lifespan While a typical tank water heater is supposed to last 10 to 13 years, tankless water heaters are estimated to last up to 20 years. If you're planning to stay in your home for a while, that's a hefty replacement fee you're saving. Even if you're not going to stay in your home for that long, it's nice to pay it forward toward the overall cost savings of home ownership. Space Savings Even if you weren't concerned about saving money and energy, one of the big advantages of tankless water heaters is the potential space savings. Traditional water heaters with 40 to 60-gallon capacity are generally around 60" tall and 24" wide. That bulky metal tank can take up precious real estate in a home where space is at a premium. A tankless water heater, in comparison, might be the size of a large computer, perhaps 20" wide by 28" tall and just 10" deep.
