Hot water tank mixing valve

We called A McKenna plumbing to fix a problem we were having with our hot water. We called to book a service call, and the employee who answered the phone was able to diagnose and give us a rough idea of cost. We proceeded to book an appointment for the next day. The guys showed up on time with the necessary parts, and were able to fix the problem quickly (ended up being a faulty mixing valve above the hot water tank). They were polite, professional, and left their workspace clean. We were very happy with the service, and will use them again for all of our plumbing needs.

Plumbing problem consultation

Postal code pricing in effect with this firm - prices go up with the neighbourhood. A simple problem with a recirculating pump was diagnosed as a major issue requiring $1000 in repairs . Spent 15 minutes criticizing the work that has been in place without issue for 20 years & recommended wholesale replacement & repair. I paid $180 for a 15 minute session involving staring at the piping and making conjectures about what could be causing the problem. The problem was solved by another plumber in 10 minutes without requiring any new parts , supplies or re-jigging. I am not certain about all the other positive reviews but I know when I'm being led down a path that involves unnecessary additional work being done. The plumbers were happy to pretty much criticize everyone that has done electrical or plumbing work on this custom house since it validated their opinion that a lot of remedial work needed to be done. I would urge homeowners to avoid the firm. I certainly will.

A Mckenna Plumbing Ltd is sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our service. We are local to Oakville and service 17 homes on the customers street. When the homeowner called to request a service report he was told over the phone the cost for the service report and inspection. He at that time asked if we would lower the cost, We declined as this is a standard fee. The fee was $109 pls tax not $180. At that point he requested us to proceed. When speaking to the customer he advised us his carpenter had installed the pump two weeks before. Upon inspection we found his pump was install backwards and the 2nd Hot water tank was turned off. We turn on the tank and there was hot water again This was our only comment other than possible wiring issues that would have to be looked at by a licensed electrical contractor. On request we provided a quote for removal of the pump and a price for installation of a new pump. The customer was informed that the inspection fee would be credited towards the repair if he wanted to proceed. The customer thanked us for our service and commented that he would be using our service in the future.

Laundry Sink and Washing Machine Plumbing and Drain Issues

As a female homeowner it is difficult to find honest people to do work in your home and feel confident that you aren’t getting ripped off. Before meeting with Mark of A McKenna Plumbing, I was given a few outrageously over inflated quotes, and told that I had additional plumbing problems that didn’t really exist. When Mark and his crew came in I felt very comfortable having them in my home right away. They were very polite, clean, and honest about the work. Mark was very knowledgeable and he took his time to explain what was needed in detail. I felt comfortable with Mark doing the job, and was pleased with the price I was quoted. These guys did an amazing job fixing my plumbing problems and I would certainly call A McKenna Plumbing again without hesitation.

Leaking Laundry Room Valves + Leaking Water Heater

As with most cases when you need a plumber, for us it was an "emergency". Coming back from vacation our kitchen floor was wet and the ceiling was starting to droop. We realized it was a leaking valve feeding our laundry room.

A McKenna came out quickly and replaced both the hot and cold water valves in the laundry room.

Since they were onsite I also asked them to take a look at a leak around the water tank. It was localized to the mixing valve above the water heater. The part was replaced. However, that night and the next morning we had no hot water. It seems the valve was installed in the wrong flow direction. When calling back to let them know of the issue - and the cold showers in the morning - they were quick to respond, identify the mistake and fix it. They were very apologetic and offered our next service call for free to make up for the inconvenience.

Excellent Job

This is the second time we have hired Mark and his assistant Paul from A McKenna Plumbing.

They are extremely knowledgeable, reliable, efficient, prompt and very professional.

We had 3 toilets (purchased from a supplier Mark had recommended), a kitchen faucet replaced and a new laundry faucet and sink installed and connected to the plumbing in this one visit. Mark also took care of the toilet disposal.

Mark also readily diagnosed why we weren't receiving any hot water. He determined that our mixing valve connected to the hot water was the problem and we had him replace it as well.

Thanks to Mark and Paul we now have the luxury of experiencing hot water again.

Mark goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is done properly. He takes the time to explain everything at the beginning and at the end. He is a perfectionist and takes pride in his work.

It was just a pleasure to have them and could not believe how fast the work was done. We really appreciate a job well done.

We will not hesitate to refer them to our friends and family and know that we will call Mark again in the near future.

Thanks again Mark for everything.
