Radiator installation and pipes moved
I can't mention other company names, but I had someone out from another, higher-ranked company. I waited a week without hearing back from them with a quote. I called up the company asking for it, and they said someone would contact me. This never happened.
Another higher-ranked company did come out and estimated that the job of installing two radiators (where there used to be two- so it was merely attaching two radiators) and moving two radiator pipes that were where I had opened up the wall between the kitchen and living room would be up to $3200, with two men working two days. That seemed off by a day. Also, I would have had to wait a week. Since i had already wasted my time waiting for the first company, this wasn't what I was looking to hear.
I finally had Anta Plumbing out. I was unusually lucky in that they were able to come out and quote it later that day, a Thursday. It ended up that they were able to install it on Friday- the very next day. I know that this may not be experienced by everyone, but I was extremely thankful for the job that they did.
There were a couple of things that they did that went above and beyond what we had agreed to- and he didn't charge me any more. I wouldn't expect this, but I am grateful for the job that they did, the time frame in which they did it, and - from someone who reads reviews and takes seriously the recommendations that come from that- I would absolutely recommend Anta and will use them whenever I may need to.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $2,000.00

Thank you PeaceFire (such a nice combination - Peace and Fire.. I like when people build a life with meaningful philosophy, make big difference in a everyday routine) ! The review is so detailed that I can even can see the radiators and the work itself. Thank you for that! I am the same, if you would like to say something, be detailed and informative to help other people, share your knowledge and the positive karma will come back to you another day. Radiators are a very tricky part of the plumbing system, most of all it will start leaking right after you touch it, most of the plumbers are afraid to even deal with radiators. They don't want to take responsibility for any additional leaks and rusty part replacements. The same as you getting a new car vs trying to repair your 15 year old car. Money and pleasure is with your first car, right? That is why we work with our plumbers non stop to make them the best, to change their attitude and build different type of business - honest and reliable on customers opinion and choice. We put plumber back to school and pay for their education to provide better quality and bring the latest technology to your house but only when we are sure that this will work in this case. All our helpers are registered apprentices and we fight with Ontario Trade of College to prove that every plumber has to have apprentice to train next generation of plumbers! Ministry of Training opinion is 1 helper is enough for 2 plumbers, 9 plumber can have 5 helpers. Interesting philosophy is always make sense. And I prefer your philosophy - be logical and informative, it makes you day better and simpler. Anta Plumbing with our best wishes ... We have our first snow this season! Radiators are very helpful this days:)
