Accountability & Trust
Riverside Heating & Plumbing has a moderate score in the category of accountability and trust. They have been in business for 12 years, but they have a A rating with the Better Business Bureau. They have had 1 complaint filed against them with the Better Business Bureau over the past 3 years. Other plumbing companies in Greater Vancouver have also received an average of 1 complaint over the same time period.
Currently only 50% of Greater Vancouver’s plumbing companies are accredited by the Better Business Bureau. From our perspective, Riverside Heating & Plumbing could improve further by becoming accredited and improving their rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Online Reviews
In regard to ratings and reviews found on the internet, the company does fairly well with decent reviews on Google. We were concerned to see some unnatural patterns in their reviews online. This can sometimes happen when plumbing companies encourage a lot of their most delighted clients to leave a review for the company on specific sites.
Warranties & Satisfaction Guarantee
We believe it is very important that every plumber assure the quality of their work in some way. The most common ways to do this are with a parts and labour warranty and sometimes – in the best cases – with a satisfaction guarantee on top of all this. A satisfaction guarantee assures you, the one footing the bill, that the work you pay for is not finished until you’re satisfied that it’s done.
Riverside Heating & Plumbing has not publicly released any information about supplying clients with a specific warranty or satisfaction guarantee.
