clogged drain that was backing up tub

Daniel came out immediately and determined the cause of the problem. My schedule was pretty tight, so he elected to start his day early in order to resolve my issue.

Replace hot water tank with tankless system and garborator removal

We have used Mr.Swirl twice and have been shocked by their amazing service, professionalism and work product. I say shocked because this level of service is hard to come by these days. From the dispatcher taking the call to the pros and the product, everything exceeded my expectation. That is rare.

Our hot water heater was leaking badly and clearly needed replacing. We researched our options and decided to go with a tankless water system to save space and energy. Quoted price ranges were 3000 - 6000 but not all shops had the expertise or the ability to do this within a few days. We chose Mr. Swirl because we had been happy before with Daniel's work on our garborator.

Adam and Chris showed up and did a fantastic job which obviously entailed ensuring proper installment of this sophisticated system but also getting the gas lines correct and considering our requirements for a future reno to the house. The job took about 6 hours and Adam came back the next day to make sure the vent through the roof was a perfect fit with proper capping. They upheld their estimate and we couldn't be happier with the workmanship. I feel that I can call them if I ever have questions in the future and I will recommend them to friends, family, and the insurance company I work for.

As a side note regarding those reviews commenting on cost: Mr. Swirl always provides an estimate - there are no surprises. You should go out and compare prices/terms and do your research as a consumer. There probably is a cheaper option and that is within your control to find or not.

Hotwater tank repair

My hot water tank needed repairing and 2 separate technicians were involved. Both were polite, patient, efficient, and professional. They explained what the problem was and then got the job done in a timely manner. I was very pleased with the service provided. Thanks Brendan and Daniel.

installation of a new garborater

Daniel Dunsford came to our home to replace our garborater. He was very friendly and professional. Daniel explained what he was going to do, then gave us a quote for labor and the price of the new unit before he began installation. He did his work quickly, and didn't make any mess. He explained the warranty, and then suggested the natural drain cleaner to keep our new garborater clean, which we really appreciated, and also purchased. After he was done, Daniel took us to your website and showed us how to enter the dinner for two contest, then gave us his business card, and said good bye. We will recommend Mr. Swirl, and Daniel in particular, to our family and friends.

replaced thermal coupler on hot water tank

Thanks to Brenden, service tech for Mr. Swirl, who arrived to asses the problem with our hot water tank (no hot water - we discovered that the pilot light had gone out, and we were unable to re-light it ourselves). His manner was friendly and calm, and shortly after his service call we had hot water again, so in that way it was most successful! He also offered clear information about standard warranties on hot water tanks, which proved to be helpful in moving ahead quickly with the repair. Timeliness left a little to be desired, in that my understanding was that he would arrive around 2:00 pm, and it was not until about 2:30 that the office called to let me know he would arrive 'within the hour' - which he did. Additionally, I believe that the nature of the problem and what we had done so far had been explained during the intial call to book the service, however when he arrived he seemed to have no knowledge of that information. My conclusion from this is that some communication improvements between the service tech(s?) and the office handling the bookings would be a good next step for this company. Re: cost - I have no idea if it was good value for the money; we needed the work done and that was what it cost and we paid it. I'm fine with that. Very happy to have hot water again!

Delivering and installing a toilet, bathroom sink and a faucet, and removing the old ones.

I am more than happy with the prompt service I received from your company. The plumbers, Shawn and Jay, were pleasant and polite. They worked very professionally and performed a sterling job. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anybody.
