We had General Plumbing / J.R. Mechanical come to look at our hydronic floor heating system that was not functioning properly. It seemed like the two gentleman that came out to look at the system were more interested in transforming our simple system, which has worked for 20 years, into a totally upgraded system. Step one of this upgrade was quoted at almost 1600. What was really happening is that two zone valves were not working properly and therefore not triggering the pump to come on; I assessed this, they did not. The experts were so intent on upgrading our system and making a tidy profit that they did not even bother to open up the zone valve cover to troubleshoot the problem. After they left, I thought a little harder about what could be wrong and proceeded to fix the issue myself by just testing and trying a few more things. The gentlemen that paid us a visit, who are experts, could have surely diagnosed the problem in about a minute if that was of interest to them vs doing a big expensive upgrade. Even when I asked them for some clarity on their quote, I got what I considered to be a rather terse email. It felt like I was being treated as a completely unintelligent person; I will admit I'm not a hydronic floor heaing expert but I am a bit handy around the house so this was almost demeaning. Because of the two service technicians, I would not recommend this company whatsoever. But I will commend the person who answered the phone and set up the appointment. She was most courteous and professional.

I was referred to Rex, as I was looking for a second opinion, on repair work to my furnace. I received quite a high quote from another big name company around town. Rex was great, found me warranty on parts and labour, had a tech in the next morning with parts on hand. Totally cost came in at 15% of what my other suggested quote was. Thank you for being so honest and efficient. You'll always be my first call.
Called them out and they were there promptly the next morning. They were done quickly and the price was more than fair. I would highly recommend this company and they will definitely be my plumbing company going forward.
Good service. Knowledgeable technicians. But beware they are at the top of the price scale for plumbers in Calgary. I needed a 30 part replaced and the total bill once labor was added was 400. This was not a weekend or late night emergency job. Regular day rate During the week 120 per hour labor rate and 79.99 just for coming to your door. Much much cheaper options available for basic work in town.
General Plumbing is on time, very courteous and pleasant to deal with. They are exceptionally professional and they do what they say they’re going to do when they say they are going to do it. Would recommend General Plumbing to anyone who is looking for plumbing and or heating. They are the best company I’ve ever worked with and I’ve only had good experiences with them. Call them first!!!!
