Meet Pioneer Plumbing & Heating Inc.
Pioneer Plumbing & Heating Inc. has worked in Vancouver since 1976. The company runs out of 626 Kingsway and covers most of Metro Vancouver, including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and Coquitlam.
The plumbing side handles leak repair, repiping, drain clearing, hydro-jetting, sewer and water main repair, backflow testing, gas line repair, and appliance hook-ups. The heating side installs and services gas furnaces, hydronic boilers, radiant heat, heat pumps, and tankless hot water. They take both residential and commercial work.
Heat pumps are one of their common installs. Heat pumps, high-efficiency boilers, and tankless water heaters can qualify for BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates, which Pioneer points to on its heating pages. Standard hours run 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with emergency service available 24/7.
The company is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating and was accredited in 2014.
Credentials
Why work with Pioneer
01
One trade, two scopes
A multiplex needs both rough-in plumbing and a heating system. Pioneer does both under one roof, so the same contractor handles drains, water lines, gas lines, and the heat-pump or boiler install instead of splitting the work across two firms.
02
Heat pumps that qualify for rebates
Heat pumps are a regular install for Pioneer. For a new four- to six-unit build, an electric heat pump can cut the gas load and may qualify for BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates, which lowers the net equipment cost.
03
Licensed gas-fitters for boilers and on-demand hot water
Multiplexes often run hydronic boilers or tankless hot water per unit. Pioneer keeps licensed gas-fitters on staff to handle gas furnaces, boilers, radiant heat, and on-demand water heaters.
04
Emergency coverage during and after the build
Pioneer runs 24/7 emergency service. That matters for a leak or no-heat call on a tenanted multiplex after the units are occupied.
