George Pinel
Master Plumber & Owner
Instant Plumbing & Heating was founded in 1972 by George's father on a principle that was rare then and is even rarer today: only fix what actually needs fixing. George grew up in the business, joined full-time in 1983, and has carried that same standard forward ever since — earning the trust of three generations of Calgary families.
Every technician George trains follows the same code — diagnose accurately, explain clearly, and never recommend a service just to pad the bill. It's why 94% of reviewers would send their own family to us.
"We don't believe in taking shortcuts or selling people things they don't need. My father built this company on honesty in 1972, and that's still exactly how we operate today."

Are Really Worried About
Will it cost more than it should?
A lot of plumbers upsell. It's an industry problem — and the main reason we built our entire reputation on the exact opposite.
What if they don't show up?
Unreliable tradespeople waste your entire day. Every appointment we book comes with an arrival window we actually keep.
Will they actually fix it right?
A poor repair costs more long-term. Our techs find the root cause — not just the symptom — so you're not calling again next month.
A stranger in my home?
We take this seriously. Our technicians are licensed professionals who treat every home with genuine respect.
