- Amit Gandhi (The Monk)5.0Service was awesome, and Brandon was quick enough to clear the drain clog deep inside the kitchen drain. He had to use the snake. Quickly done the job within less than an hour. Brandon was knowledgeable and all equipped. Regarding pricing, They clarified the hourly service charge and any additional charge for using the snake tool and materials, if any. I am impressed with the service. Thank you for quickly fixing it.February 2025Google

- James Albrecht3.0Needed to get a plumber to help unclog a sink drain. I had replaced the p-trap and under sink ABS pipes myself, but the clog was further down than that. The plumber was pleasant and I learned a lot about the trade. However, I have 3 stars for the lack of pricing information relayed by both two phone calls and the plumber. I had asked the plumber when he left how much it was likely to be and he had no idea since “plumbers don’t handle the billing” but that “I was in and out in under an hour and didn’t do anything special so likely just the service call fee ($150 I found out which is reasonable). I also called the office and they said if he was in and out under an hour, it would likely be just the service call. Lo and behold the bill comes and there is a $70-75 charge (super vee charge) for using what ended up being a hand-held auger to clean out the drain on top of the service call charge. But yet my two inquiries to both the plumber and the person in the office did not tell me anything about this. So 5 star service, 1 star transparency. Averages to 3 stars. If you’re using them, be 100% crystal clear on the cost and ask the plumber what exactly he is doing and what equipment it is.August 2024Google

About Pace Plumbing & Heating Ltd
Pace Plumbing & Heating has been working on Halifax plumbing for more than 50 years, according to its website, from a shop at 34 Winchester Avenue in Armdale. It has fewer Google reviews than anyone else on this list, 27 at a 4.8 average, read September 24, 2026, but several of them come from customers who have used it for years.
The service list leans toward the systems older Halifax buildings still run on. Pace does video inspections, drain cleaning and hydro-jetting, and work on sanitary drains and sewer stacks in multi-storey buildings, along with backflow preventer testing and interceptors. On the heating side it repairs water heaters and boilers, does oil-to-electric conversions, and works on in-floor radiant systems, hot water baseboard, cast iron radiators and glycol systems. Google lists office hours of 7:30am to 4pm on weekdays, and the website offers 24-hour emergency service to its customers. The company says customer satisfaction is guaranteed, but it does not publish warranty terms, owner names or certification numbers.
Loyal customers make up much of the praise. Bonnie has used Pace for more than ten years and said they always lay out every option so she can decide. Steve has called them about half a dozen times in a year for small jobs and said someone always came promptly. Amit said Brandon cleared a deep kitchen clog in under an hour and that the office explained the hourly service charge and any extra charge for the snake up front. Not everyone got that clarity. James gave three stars because he could not get a price estimate by phone or from the plumber before the bill.
Pace suits a Halifax homeowner or building owner with older hot water heating, radiators or drain stacks who wants a company that has seen those systems for decades. It suits less well someone who wants weekend office hours or a large review history. Ask for the hourly rate and an estimate before work starts, and confirm who pulls the HRM plumbing permit.
