Customer Questions to ask to qualify Toronto Plumbing & Heating contractor

Customers should find out how long a contractor has been in business. They should find out if the company has a valid metro license, and if they have valid liability insurance and Worker's Compensation.

Great customer service begins with the voice you get when you call in to schedule you’re the job.
If the person is helpful, focused and friendly it usually is an indication that you are calling the right company.

Additionally you have to make sure that the company has longevity. A good question is: “how long you business?  Always try to get 2 references. If you’re expecting a big job to be done, it’s wise to check for references with any job where you're going to be spending a significant amount of money.

Commercial clients are the most recognizable references and therefore the best references to get. In addition you are able to track the loyalty of a commercial client, which gives a sense of the whether the quality of work is constant and whether the commercial client has been satisfied over a long period of time.  At Hoerner, we can supply you references on request since we have several commercial clients that use our services. Once we have the business customer - we are able to sustain the business.

Tankless water heaters are more efficient, and they are more environmentally friendly. They are more efficient in how they generate hot water in general.  Hoerner can replace rental hot water heaters if you choose.
