We hired Solid to replace our aging hot water tank. Zach was very knowledgeable in explaining our options, and the crew that did the install were efficient and professional. We wouldn't hesitate to use Solid again in the future!

Solid plumbing did our bathroom build/reno (through MAC renovations) and we were so happy with the work they did. DJ was very professional and kind and even when above and beyond to make sure things were running correctly. Highly recommend!

Solid Plumbing owner Zach is very personable and he provided quick attendance to my home when I had a plumbing issue last week. His staff that I met during my reno in 2021 and this latest issue are all very friendly and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Solid Plumbing.

This is the third time I have used Solid Plumbing to help with my plumbing problems. The service has always been excellent and the staff are polite and pleasant to deal with. Recently when my pipes froze they really saved me because they came late in the day; fixed not only the original problem with a burst pipe but 3 more that showed up; and made sure all was well before they left. The next day it snowed blocking the road so we would have had no water for many more days. I would not hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others. Thanks a lot Solid.

Solid Plumbing is great! They are very professional quick to respond. Zack and his guys are really knowledgeable and don’t waste any time getting the job done. Every time I have used them the invoice is always less than I expected. On top of all that these guys are very pleasant to work with. 1000 times better than my old plumber.

Heat Pump or Air Conditioning?

When deciding between a heat pump and a traditional air conditioning unit, it's essential to consider your specific needs and circumstances. Both options offer unique advantages, and the best choice depends on various factors.

When to Choose a Heat Pump

Year-Round Comfort: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile option for homes that require efficient temperature control throughout the year.

Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient, particularly in regions with mild climates like Vancouver Island. They can significantly reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Environmental Impact: By using less energy, heat pumps help reduce your carbon footprint, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

When to Choose Air Conditioning

Specific Cooling Needs: In some cases, a dedicated air conditioning unit might be the preferred choice, especially if your primary need is cooling during the hot summer months.

Upper Floors and South-Facing Rooms: Rooms on the upper floors or those that receive sun all day, such as south-facing rooms, can become particularly hot. Air conditioning units are excellent at providing powerful cooling to these specific areas.

Supplemental Cooling: If your home already has a heating system, adding an air conditioning unit can be a cost-effective way to address your cooling needs without replacing your existing setup.

Benefits of Installing Air Conditioning

Installing an air conditioning system in your home offers numerous benefits, including:

Enhanced Comfort: Enjoy a consistently cool and comfortable indoor environment, even during the hottest summer days.

Improved Air Quality: Modern air conditioning systems help filter and dehumidify the air, improving indoor air quality and reducing allergens.

Increased Property Value: A well-installed air conditioning system can increase your home's market value and appeal to potential buyers.

Quiet Operation: Today's air conditioning units are designed to operate quietly, providing you with a peaceful and comfortable living space.

Do You Have Questions About Air Conditioning?

Yes, while Vancouver Island is known for its mild climate, summer temperatures can still range from 20 to 32 degrees Celsius. An air conditioner ensures that your home remains cool and comfortable during the hot summer months.

The best types of air conditioning units for homes on Vancouver Island include central air conditioning systems, ductless mini-split systems, and window units. Each type has its benefits, depending on your home’s layout and cooling needs.

Modern air conditioning units are highly energy-efficient, especially those with high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. They consume less energy, reducing your electricity bills and environmental impact.

Yes, air conditioning units can significantly improve indoor air quality by filtering out dust, allergens, and pollutants. They also help control humidity levels, reducing the risk of mold and mildew.

While specific rebates for air conditioning units may vary, homeowners can often find incentives for energy-efficient upgrades through provincial programs. Check with local utility companies and government programs for available rebates.

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. We recommend servicing your air conditioning unit at least once a year, ideally before the summer season, to ensure it runs efficiently and reliably.

The installation time can vary based on the type of unit and the complexity of the installation. Generally, it takes one to two days to install a new air conditioning system in your home.

Yes, air conditioning units can be installed in older homes. Ductless mini-split systems are particularly suitable for homes without existing ductwork, providing efficient cooling with minimal disruption.

The size of the air conditioning unit you need depends on your home's square footage, insulation, and layout. Our technicians can conduct a thorough assessment to determine the appropriate size for optimal performance.

Modern air conditioning units are designed to operate quietly. While there may be some noise when the system is running, it is typically minimal and should not be disruptive.

Some air conditioning units, particularly heat pumps and ductless mini-split heat pumps, offer both heating and cooling capabilities. This can be a versatile solution for year-round comfort.

Signs that your air conditioning unit may need to be replaced include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven cooling, and if the unit is over 10-15 years old. Our technicians can provide an assessment and recommend the best course of action.
