This is a five star review. Zack recently replaced a hot water tank and went the extra mile on a Friday afternoon when an unforeseen problem arose. This is just what you want your plumber to be able to do. Well done Solid Plumbing and Gas!
We've had Zach from Solid Plumbing do work both in our office and in our home, and we've been consistently impressed. He does excellent work, is reliable and always professional. On top of that Zach is just a great person to deal with-- friendly, honest, and easy to communicate with. We're always happy with the results and wouldn't hestitate to recommend him
5 star experience with Solid Plumbing and Gas. Zach was excellent to deal with—super busy, but still managed to fit us in, which we really appreciated. I needed a gas line relocated for my range, and DJ showed up right on time and got straight to work. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very meticulous. I especially appreciated that he checked all fittings for gas leaks using two methods—soap testing and an electronic detector. That gave me real confidence the job was done right. I would definitely recommend Solid Plumbing and Gas and will be using them again. Great job, guys!
I received a quick, friendly, and professional response to my email inquiry about a small job. I will reach out to them in the future if I had need of the services they offer.
Once again, another great job from Solid Plumbing and Gas. Responsive, timely and excellent service! Thanks Zach and Gavin.
I have used Solid Plumbing 3 times now and I am very pleased with the quality of the work, the upfront cost explanations and and the great customer service. Their plumbers really take the time to explain the work after completion and answer any questions. I highly recommend them.
Zach was always respectful and the work was done very professionally. I was given a quote and the final price was exact. I felt very confident and satisfied with the work done and would recommend True Home Plumbing to anyone that wants a plumbing upgrade, furnace, hot water tank or any heating service done. Thanks again Zach and your great work crew🥰
On time, on budget, friendly, hauled away the old stuff (including a hot water tank). What more can I say? Hire Solid Plumbing!

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.
