Martin impressed from the start by answering his phone; no voice mails, nor contact by email only. He came on site to see if he could do the job and determine what was required. He did great job of sourcing, supplying and replacing older faucet cartridges, tub spout and drain. He encountered challenges due to the age, yet took it on. He supplied and replaced garbage disposal. Good communication, on time and clean. Will have him back in the fall to do some other work.

Great service at a reasonable price. Martin took the time to explain the issues I had with my plumbing and broke down my options without trying to oversell me. Honest, transparent pricing. This is my plumber going forward, would not use anyone else.

Maintenance for Peak Efficiency

Proactive service prevents winter breakdowns and prolongs system life:

Annual inspection and combustion analysis

Air purge, pressure checks, and leak detection

Circulator and zone valve testing

Glycol concentration testing and top-ups

Control calibration and safety checks (CO monitoring)

Ask about seasonal tune-ups before the first cold snap. If you rent or Airbnb your property, we can schedule around guest turnover.

Boiler & Radiant FAQs

Why are some rooms warm and others cold?

Likely zoning, air in lines, or flow balance issues. We test pumps/valves and purge air to restore even heat.

Do I need glycol in my system?

In Whistler’s climate, glycol is recommended for freeze protection—concentration should be tested annually.

Is it worth upgrading an old boiler?

If parts are failing or efficiency is low, upgrades can improve comfort and reduce costs. We’ll provide a lifecycle cost comparison.

How often should I service the boiler?

Annually—ideally before winter—to prevent lockouts and ensure safe operation.

Can you work with strata schedules?

Yes. We coordinate access, notices, and shutdowns with strata/concierge.

Restore Cozy, Even Heat Today

We isolate leaks, safely thaw frozen lines, repair burst sections, and set up prevention (insulation, heat trace, drain-downs). Get priority scheduling during business hours—contact Pinecone Plumbing and protect your Whistler property today.
