Customer Reviews

Karla Barnes

Archie Johnstone was great and were quick to deal with a burst pipe on a property. They stayed late into the night until the repairs were done to stop the flooding. They kept in communication with me as to what they were doing, what was found, and what needed to be done, including pictures of the issues. Archie Johnstone is committed to getting a job done!

KIMBERLEY Mulders

I was told 3 years ago that my old fireplace was not fixable and needed to be replaced. It would cost me thousands to fix, he said.That was BS . Today I heard differently , and it’s going to save me big time$. The cost of the natural gas for in my condo is included in the strata fees. I never would have known that it was fixable had it not been for the knowledge of the repair man from Archie’s Plumbing and Heating. They will have all my future business and I can’t speak highly enough of their work ethic, the fact that I cried after the first plumbing job he did, because the bill was so low! They are amazing individuals who earn every cent they work for. I have not come across anyone like this in my 15 years of living in Nanaimo and needing a blue collar worker. Archie’s Plumbing and Heating are the only people I will call from now on. Their honesty was and is everything to me. That’s a pretty rare thing to find here. (From my experience.). Thank you .
