George Pinel
Master Plumber, Heating Expert & Founder
George built Instant Plumbing & Heating in 1971 with one rule: never replace what can be repaired, and never repair what should be replaced. That honest approach has kept Calgary families warm — and kept them coming back — for over five decades.
Every technician George trains follows the same principle: diagnose accurately, explain clearly, and give the homeowner the information they need to make a real decision — not a pressured one.
"We won't sell you a new furnace if a repair will do the job. And we won't patch something that's truly at the end of its life. You deserve the honest answer."

Worry About When the Heat Goes Out
No heat in a Calgary winter is an emergency
Frozen pipes, sick kids, elderly parents — a failed furnace in January isn't just uncomfortable, it's dangerous. You need someone fast and reliable.
Will they try to sell me a whole new system?
A lot of heating companies push unnecessary replacements. It's a known problem — and the main reason we built our reputation on doing the exact opposite.
Will they actually find the real problem?
A misdiagnosis means the same issue returns. Our techs find the root cause the first time — so you're not calling us back next month for the same failure.
How do I know if repair or replace is right?
We give you honest numbers — repair cost vs. replacement cost vs. energy savings — and let you decide. No pressure, no agenda.
