Excellent service! They were able to book me in within a very reasonable amount of time, and Gavin did a great job replacing my hot water tank. I will use Solid again if I need any additional work!

Their professionalism, reliability, and expertise consistently exceed expectations. Their team is always responsive, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the job is done right the first time.
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.
First class reliable service is normal business from Solid Plumbing and Gas. This is the third job I've used them for.
I’ve used Solid Plumbing many times over the years and I couldn’t speak more highly of their level of professionalism, efficiency, and quality. If you want good advice and a job done properly and competitively call Zach at Solid.
Wonderful professional service. Zach is knowledgeable, friendly and left the room neat and clean.

Do You Have Questions About Range Hoods?
A range hood is an essential kitchen appliance that helps remove smoke, odours, grease, and heat generated during cooking. It improves air quality, reduces the risk of mold and mildew, and helps keep your kitchen clean.
There are several types of range hoods, including:
Wall-Mounted Range Hoods: Installed against a wall above your stove.
Under-Cabinet Range Hoods: Mounted underneath kitchen cabinets.
Island Range Hoods: Suspended from the ceiling above an island cooktop.
Ductless Range Hoods: Recirculate air through a filter and back into the kitchen.
Choosing the right range hood depends on several factors, including:
Kitchen Layout: The type of range hood should match your kitchen's design.
Ventilation Needs: Consider whether you need a ducted or ductless model.
Cooking Style: Heavy cooking requires a more powerful range hood.
Aesthetic Preferences: Select a style and finish that complements your kitchen decor.
Ducted Range Hoods: Vent air outside through a duct, providing effective removal of smoke and odours.
Ductless Range Hoods: Use filters to clean the air and recirculate it back into the kitchen, suitable for homes without existing ductwork.
The power of a range hood is measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute). As a general rule, you need at least 100 CFM for every 12 inches of stove width. For example, a 30-inch stove would require a range hood with a minimum of 250 CFM.
Noise levels vary by model and brand. Modern range hoods are designed to operate quietly, but it’s essential to check the decibel rating if noise is a concern. Most range hoods operate between 40 to 60 decibels.
While some homeowners may choose to install a range hood themselves, professional installation ensures proper setup, compliance with local building codes, and optimal performance.
Metal Filters: Should be cleaned every 1-3 months, depending on usage.
Charcoal Filters: Used in ductless range hoods, should be replaced every 3-6 months.
Consider features such as:
Variable Speed Settings: Allow you to adjust the ventilation power.
Integrated Lighting: Provides additional illumination for your cooktop.
Auto Shut-Off: Turns the hood off automatically after a set period.
Heat Sensors: Automatically turn on the fan when the temperature gets too high.
Regular maintenance includes:
Cleaning Filters: Wash or replace filters as needed.
Wiping Down Surfaces: Regularly clean the exterior and interior to remove grease build-up.
Checking Ventilation: Ensure that ducts are clear and not obstructed.
Yes, range hoods can be installed in almost any kitchen. However, the type and installation process may vary based on the kitchen’s design and existing ventilation system.
