In Calgary a chinook can swing thirty degrees in an afternoon and a January cold snap can freeze a service line overnight. That is why most contractors here hold both plumbing and gas tickets, and why a furnace failing at midnight is a plumbing problem waiting to happen.
Homes built between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s were commonly plumbed in Poly-B. Older inner-city properties have service lines that back up every spring. What goes wrong here usually depends on when your house was built.
This register lists plumbing and heating contractors across Calgary. Ratings come from Google. What a firm says about its services, certifications and history is taken from its own website, and those are their claims rather than our checks. Sponsored listings are pinned and labelled; nothing else about the order is for sale.
Ratings and opening hours come from Google and are refreshed on a rolling daily cycle. Services, certifications and company history are taken from each contractor’s own website and are their claims, not our checks.
Start from the problem rather than the trade: the tiles at the top of this page go straight to firms whose own website names that work. Then ask three things of whoever answers — whether they hold the ticket the job needs and whether the ticket holder is the person who will attend, what the callout charge is and whether it comes off the repair, and whether the permit is included. Read a firm's low reviews as well as its average; how a business answers a complaint says more than a fifth five-star review. For anything larger than a repair, ask two firms.
By the Water & Heat Score unless you choose another sort. It starts from the customer rating and pulls it toward the typical rating in proportion to how few reviews stand behind it, so a 5.0 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from four hundred. A few points are added for things like overnight cover or community reviews, and nothing is ever deducted for data we do not have. The score is printed on every listing and its arithmetic is shown on each profile. Up to three sponsored listings are pinned at the top, each labelled as sponsored; nothing else about the order is for sale.
Yes. Plumbing and gasfitting are compulsory certification trades in Alberta, so the work has to be done by a certified tradesperson or by a registered apprentice working under one. Any work on the gas side of a furnace, boiler or water heater needs a gas fitter. Many Calgary firms hold both tickets, which is why so many listings describe themselves as doing both trades. Ask to see the certificate, and ask whether the person holding it is the one coming to your house.
Often. Replacing a furnace or a hot water tank, moving a gas line and most renovation plumbing commonly need a permit, while like-for-like fixture swaps usually do not. The rules belong to the City of Calgary, so check with them for your job. A contractor normally pulls the permit as part of the work — ask whether their quote includes it, because an unpermitted gas installation can matter when you sell the house or make an insurance claim.
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building first and call from outside. Otherwise check the thermostat batteries, the furnace switch and breaker, the filter, and the two vent pipes on the outside wall, which blown snow blocks in a storm. If none of those is it and the house is cooling toward freezing, use the 24/7 filter on this page: it shows only firms whose hours say someone answers at night.
A problem page lists only firms whose own website names that work. Many listings have no website we could read, so they appear on no problem page at all — that is a gap in our data, not a fact about the business. Every listing is in the full register on this page, whatever its website says.
