CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Riley arrived exactly when scheduled. He wore a mask and was friendly. He removed my toilet, cleaned around it, and installed a new one. The water shut-off valve wasn’t working, so he swapped it out as well. I didn’t know that it would be needed, but he came prepared with a valve and finished the job in less than an hour. Afterward he removed my old toilet so I wouldn’t have to, which I hadn’t expected but was pleased with. I was very satisfied with the service and Riley was very nice and efficient. 10/10 would recommend. I’ll use John the plumber again in the future.
I had a major blockage in my toilet, Ryley came in and repaired the toilet quickly and efficiently. Overall I had great service, he was very friendly and professional. I would definitely use this company again.
Job was done in less than an hour greatly removing my stress. Needed a pipe and valve replaced in a tight location. David was very helpful in suggesting what he could do and getting the job done quickly.
For both the estimate and the actual repairs, Brent was very professional and the work well completed. As I have just purchased the home, I had a lot of questions about plumbing in general as well as needing repairs to both a toilet and a sink. He was able to answer my questions and do a good job on the repairs. I would certainly recommend Brent. I also found that the “John the Plumber” quoting system and their telephone service to be good as well.
David replaced our water heater professionally and in a very short time. Before he left the job he checked everything and made sure the heat setting was correct. He knows what he is doing and on top of it he is a very pleasant person. In case we have another plumbing issues we would use John The Plumber again and asking for David.
Excellent work. They were able to get here shortly after I called them to work on our plugged drain in our older home. David was our plumber and he provided great advice, completed the necessary work quickly and did an excellent job. We were very pleased to have him in our house, he wore a mask and was very polite.
I selected John The Plumber based on their reviews and it was a good decision! I needed to replace an old washer, install new one and install a drain to the main pipe (didn’t like it draining into the sink). David and Shane were very skilled, efficient and professional and also highlighted a few things to watch for in the future (based on the current house plumbing). Very happy with the service. Recommend 100%! Will use in the future again.
Great service, and great prices. David described what needed to be done and how much it would cost in advance. Thank you! Would definitely use again, and recommend.
I called in panic unable to fully remove my old kitchen faucet., (and stuck without water supply to the whole house). Brent was there within 30 minutes of my call, was able to cut apart my old decrepit faucet, and even install my new faucet all within an hour. Just in time for baby’s bedtime bath. The installation is flawless and I am now enjoying my new faucet as well as having water to the whole house again. Happy day!
David helped us replacing a seized cleanout on a pipe. I thought the job might be more involved than it was, and take longer, but it was done in about 20 minutes. Highly recommend these folks.
Was told they would come between 5 and 8pm; Brent showed up right on time near 5. The pipe under the sink in the kitchen was leaking badly, but assured me it is easy to fix and it was a normal issue. Fixed it in no time, and did not even cause a mess. Fantastic employee, fantastic service, fantastic company. Highly recommended.

HVAC SERVICES & HOT WATER HEATERS
Of course hot water is something that we use all year long, but during the colder months more hot water tends to be utilized. The most popular type of water heating system for homeowners to date is still the conventional water heater. John The Plumber Ottawa now offers HVAC services, including the installation of water heaters. We thought we should provide you with some basic info on how they work as well as a few quick tips on selecting the correct model for your home, choosing a good contractor and energy saving ideas.
How a Water Heater Works
Conventional storage water heater fuel sources include electricity, propane, natural gas and fuel oil. What happens is the water heater releases hot water from the top of the tank when you turn on your hot water tap and the water pours out. Simultaneously, cold water enters the bottom of the tank, replacing the used hot water you just used; this cycle keeps the tank full at all times.
When selecting your water heater you may find a lower priced storage water heater and believe it is a good buy, but proceed with caution: they also may be the most expensive to maintain and operate.
Three Questions To Ask Yourself Before Committing to a New Water Heater
- What is the fuel type and IS that fuel type readily available where I live?
- How energy efficient is it overall?
- What size is it? ( bigger does not always mean better)
Installing your water heater properly will optimize its energy efficiency; for this reason alone it is best that you hire a qualified heating and plumbing contractor to install your storage water heater. John THE Plumber is more than capable of handling important factors such as code requirements, safety issues, fuel types and general climate factors.
When Selecting a Contractor, Ask For The Following:
- Request cost estimates in writing
- Ask the company about their awareness of local building codes and if they will request permits
- Ask for references (anyone that does reputable work is more than happy to provide them!)
Energy can be wasted even when a hot water tap isn’t running due to the fact water is constantly heated in the tank. This is called standby heat loss. After your water heater is properly installed and maintained, we encourage you to practice the following additional energy saving strategies to help lower your water heating bills.
- Fix Leaks Immediately
- Purchase energy-efficient washing machines and dishwashers
- Install your taps and shower heads with ‘low- flow’ fixtures
Did you know that one toilet running for a month can triple your water bill? The same idea can be applied to hot water and energy conservation; if you try these tips, you’ll be surprised how much you can save!
PREVENTION & SAFETY STANDARDS
The ‘Backflow Prevention Program’ was developed and implemented in many municipalities of Ontario to protect your drinking water quality by ensuring appropriate backflow prevention devices were installed and then inspected, and Ottawa was definitely included. How it works is the device prevents contaminated water from flowing back into your city’s public water system. This program has not affected an enormous amount of people’s single homes as most already had this type of device in place however, it has already enforced the program in approximately 15,000 commercial, institutional and multi – residential properties such as apartments, hotels, hospitals, automotive and manufacturing facilities etc.
This program comes with very strict water safety standards and guidelines; all checks and balances must be in compliance with the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Property owners began being notified in 2018, and were advised of compliance laws and the corresponding timelines they would be afforded to become compliant and ready for inspection. This is currently ongoing across Ontario.
More Information About Backflow Prevention
Once compliance has been achieved, water testing is done randomly and will continue on an ongoing basis to monitor whether any severity ratings of moderate or high water contamination is present. Site surveys are also requested every five years and backflow device testing is done annually. A surveyor from The Ontario Water Works Association (OWWA) is required to carry out site surveys and install these devices.
Weather is always a factor where plumbing is concerned, and Canadian temperatures fluctuate from one extreme temperature to the other. In regions such as Ottawa that are subjected to heavy rainfall and flash floods, all property owners should inspect their plumbing. It’s not just to be in compliance or to save money, it’s a matter of health. The absence of backflow devices has the potential for contaminated water to be in your drinking supply which can call on a number of illnesses that could be avoided. If your property has incurred an amount of water damage, mold can be present, also a threat to your family’s health if not taken care of.
If you are unsure whether your home or commercial property is in compliance with these water safety prevention laws, or are concerned you already may have a health safety issue developing call John THE Plumber Ottawa – one of our plumbers will be over to advise you ASAP!
