McQuillan Home Services LLC

I had a quote from another plumber to install a new water softening system in our home. This is a system I purchased myself. All that I wanted was a plumber to install it. Recently, we did the same for my 81-year-old mother. Her installation was $350 from a plumber. I have a quote from another plumber in town for $425. McQuillan provided a quote of $1550 for this installation. I told them that was outrageous, and they had no explanation for why they are 4-5x as expensive as others. The only good thing is that McQuillan did not charge me to come out and give me a quote.

Fast, friendly, and fair pricing! The guy was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. My condo building will be using them again!

I had McQuillan come out for an annual check on my boiler system (new in 2011). The tech quickly stated that my flue was reading over 500ppm of CO (I never saw the readings). He said there was no chance of repair and that the only solution would be to turn the heat off immediately and to send a salesman out to quote me for a new boiler. This tech made multiple appeals to the safety of my family and essentially used these scare tactics to believe I needed a new boiler. I had multiple CO alarms in the boiler room that had not gone off. Quote for a standard efficiency boiler came out to over $14,000! I made a few calls and quickly determined that this pricing was several thousand higher than it should be.

Thankfully, I decided to have a second opinion come in for a new boiler quote. When that second company came in, he said that I absolutely didn't need a new boiler. Instead he recommended that a tech come out and do a proper check and maintenance. When the second tech came, he not only confirmed that I didn't need a new boiler, but also showed me that the flue was actually only reading 20ppm (totally normal). He confirmed to me that his measuring equipment had just been sent in for calibration in the last two weeks as well. He did clean and make some minor adjustments to get the reading down to 6ppm of CO.

All of that to say, I do not trust McQuillan nor their ridiculous pricing. Do not be enticed by their $69 check up as they will use it as an opportunity to scare you into buying something completely unnecessary for much much more.

My 72 year old mother used their service to install a kitchen sink faucet that she supplied.  Apparently they had to replace a shutoff valve as well.  They charged her $994.29 to do the work.  The only parts & materials they provided were the shutoff valve, maybe some plumbers tape and caulk. Basically they price gouged and took advantage of her.

Scheduled a month in advance. They gave me an 8 hour window of when they would arrive. I called them at 8 am that morning to narrow down time. They said after 12:30. At 12:30 they called to cancel and said they couldn't get out for another 6 weeks.  Talk about wasting my time!  Good luck to them with an operation like that!

Highly recommend! Initially had Bonfe come out for an intermittent squeak in my furnace, they quoted me 2k for furnace repairs or 6k for new furnace. When Bonfe was trying to schedule the new furnace install for very next day despite me still getting perfectly hot air blowing through I began to question and got a 2nd opinion with McQuillan Bros. They had a contractor come out the very next business day and deemed a perfectly working furnace, they did this all FREE OF CHARGE. All that the furnace needed was a little WD40. I will definitely be going with McQuillan Bros for any future plumbing or heating needs. Thank you for saving me several thousands of dollars!

I needed emergency service when my sewer backed up into my house. They came out promptly and the technician was very knowledgeable and efficient. He fixed the clogged drain and even cleaned up. He was respectful of my home and wore paper booties over his shoes. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend.

The service guy was great! But unethical billing made me send them away. My air conditioner was low on coolant. The service tech estimated 1-2 lbs low (r22 refrigerant) they would only re-charge by billing for 3 lbs at the cost of $685! When you recharge AC units the technician will weigh the cylinder before and and after filling and can tell how much the systems use. Ethical companies charge by the pound not a flat rate to rip off customers! I asked the service tech to call his boss and ask him if they will charge by the pound and his boss said no way.
So I called another company and asked what their rate was and they said $150 a pound and they charge the exact amount it used so if it's only 1.1 lbs you pay $165 total. Bottom line is this company is out there to rip you off if you're not a mechanically inclined.

Friendly, fast and professional service.  My tub diverter wasn't working.  They came out within two days and replaced the tub faucet. Their price was lower than other places I checked. The technician was clean and had his own shoe covers.  He explained everything thoroughly and was very friendly.  I would trust him with any plumbing repair.  Thank you!
