What recent reviews say

Kennedy's Plumbing and Heating has a sharp split: some customers praise fast emergency response and skilled install work, especially for furnace replacement and oil-to-gas conversion, with office manager Marie credited for finding financing options. Others report rude phone service, steep fees ($79-350 for basic work), equipment breakdowns shortly after installation, and disputes over charges. The rating (3.2/5) reflects this polarization.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Macca Plumbing & Heating

4.7(52)✓ Google-verified

Macca Plumbing earns trust through decades of steady service and staff who know customers by name. Max, Jake, Shawn, and Sean show up on time with clear explanations; Jane and Victoria field calls with genuine care. When issues emerge, they solve them fairly without padding the bill. Older homes and new pools, furnaces and sump pumps, emergencies and remodels all fit their wheelhouse. Fair pricing and tidy job sites set them apart. Two poor interactions hint at inconsistent intake screening, though rare against dozens of repeat customers renewing loyalty year after year.

Roto-Rooter earns strong marks for rapid response and capable technicians who diagnose problems quickly and explain solutions clearly. Drain work, emergency repairs, and leak fixes get consistent praise.
