Norm's Mobile Service has done work for my mom and before that my dad many times over the years…read more They have serviced and/or inspected our family furnace, hot water tank, and oil tank multiple times. In contrast to some other companies around Nanaimo, they are courteous, reliable, knowledgeable, and most of all honest. Carson doesn't try to sell her things she doesn't need and stands behind his work. Based on experience, I have been shocked at the number of shady operators in Nanaimo who have tried to rip off seniors like my mom. Thankfully, Norm's Mobile Service is one of the good guys. 100 percent thumbs up.

I had called this company at least five times to fix Toilet valves, Taps and tub valves. Yes, they…read morecame out and fast fixed the problem. They gave me bills of two to $300 each time. Each time it was a different plumber, older guys that looked like they were experienced and honest. Now I wonder about that. I had to call him twice for one toilet to come out the second time and twice for a shower to come out a second time to fix the leak They just fixed weeks earlier. I figured it was the luck of the draw all my stuff was leaking until I found out why. The valves were leaking because the pressure reducing valve leading into the house was blown and the was 120 psi pressure instead of the normal 50 to 65 psi pressure. Not one guy from Norm's checked the pressure of the water coming into the house, would've found out the pressure reducing valve was blown, causing all these leaks. Apparently, these valves should be tested every 3 to 5 years and replaced if they're leaking. I did not know this because I come from a part of the country that do not use pressure reducing valves. I Called ServiceXCEL once and they spotted the problem right off the bat and brought it to my attention

Replaced a very old heating fuel furnace that was at it's "end of life" with a new gas furnace…read more Received a quote from Angelo less than 3 hours from his visit. Becky at the office, answered a few questions and altered our order to include a programmable thermostat with no problems. Sent updated information, and confirmed the install twice, at time of order, and again the day before. Their friendly crew were on time, paid attention to details, kept me informed as the install was happening, answered all questions. They double and triple checked the install. Checked the registers. Insured the gas stove was operating fine before wrapping things up, as the gas was shut off to run a new gas line. Removed the fuel line, shut off the fuel from the old tank and capped it as well. Ran through the thermostat settings. Cleaned up everything and used drop cloths. Place heats quickly, fan is much quieter and can actually be set to lower speeds if desired. The programmable thermostat helps reduce heating costs. So far, I am quite pleased and toasty warm. If I don't update this review, the furnace if working fine. ;)

A new motor was installed in Jan 2022. When another matter of concern later arose, Bryans also went out to check. Then in Sep 2022, I needed a condensate pump for my furnace which is at least 17 years old. A new pump was installed in 2 days, and the job done by Paul took only 1/2 hour. It is a great blessing to know that Bryans' entire staff live and work by such an excellent code of service. I can close my eyes and know that they will be dependable and trustworthy. God bless everyone at Bryans Mechanical. A million thanks !!! Joy L - Nanaimo BC

We knew we needed a new furnace when we bought our house a few months ago and also wanted to add a…read moreheat pump. We did some research and got 3 quotes from local companies that all have very good reputations. We decided to go with Servicexcel even though their quote was about $800 more than the others. The main reason we went with Servicexel is that they quoted on higher quality equipment and their system designer took the time to explain why, in plain simple language. Plus the equipment they quoted on have a better and longer warranty. After they provided the quote, they were very quick to answer all our questions. The ladies that answer the phones were very knowledgeable and prompt to help however they could. They also took the extra step to arrange for the rebates that we qualified for. Once they started to do the install, the technicians both were very knowledgeable and able to explain what they were doing and were very efficient. It was not the easiest install (due to the cramped and awkward furnace room and crawlspace), but these two technicians took it all and made it look much easier than I thought it would be. During the install they were very good at keeping the area clean and went through the whole area afterwards to vacuum up and make sure everything was back to normal. I would highly recommend Servicexcel and their dedicated employees to anyone that needs any type of HVAC service or replacement.
