Best A/C Installation in Boston MA

I was pretty frustrated with Big Blue Plumbing & Heating. I had a leak in my basement, read all the great reviews on Yelp, and gave them a call.

Donna asked me to send in a picture of the leak (a hose had been duct taped to a pipe, and that was leaking). I did. She then told me that her guys said the picture was very helpful, and it would take them ~3-4 hours to fix at $95/hour, plus parts, which could cost around $200 or more.

I walked the picture of my problem over to my local hardware store, where the plumber sold me a roll of silicone rescue tape for $10. I fixed my own problem, cutting off the duct tape and re-sealing the attachment with the silicone rescue tape, in under 10 minutes.

I can't believe these guys would have charged me over $500 for this. Don't trust them.

Well owned and operated.

If I could give him 0 stars, I would have but there was no option.
Had problem with my shower valve going around in circles without shutting off.
Called this company because I read so many positive reviews.
Right off the bat, just by looking at the picture that I had sent him over the phone, he said that he will have to cut the back wall to access the shower because it's too old to replace. ( house was made brand new 2007 )
The quote was 1875 and change.
Here it is.

We LOVE you guys!!!  Our family has relied on Mitch and Tommy (and Jodi!) for at least 15 years now.  They are unbelievably responsive, honest, and do amazing work.  And such lovely people.  Mitch once spent hours and hours at our house in the middle of a MAJOR blizzard, right before Christmas, as our failing burner began spewing carbon monoxide.  He dealt with the gas company, the shutdown, and all the other attendant issues while I scrambled to find temporary housing.  He miraculously managed to find us a brand new furnace that arrived within days.  (Just try to get a burner installed over the holidays when the region is at a standstill due to feet of snow!).  We moved back home Christmas eve, barely missed a beat, and our young children had the holiday they had expected.  Years later, still grateful.

My dad used to say that one of the most valuable things as a homeowner is having a great plumber.  Well, we do, and would recommend Consolidated to anyone in the Metrowest area.

I've lived in my condo going on my third winter.  I have yet to have all those mechanical gizmos down in the basement looked at, checked out or whatever you're supposed to do to them.

I have had nightmares about getting a bad contractor - let's face it - there are more than a few bad contractors out there.  Ok so please don't crucify me here but I spent the money on a subscription to Angie's List and checked out plumbers/HVAC specialists.  Came across these guys who had good reviews that were recent.

I called them about setting up an appointment for service and got a call back from a nice guy.  We set up a time a few days later first thing in the morning.  

Bill from Hinchey came out and looked at everything I needed done or wanted quotes on.  He was extremely knowledgeable and personable and explained things well.  He looked at all those gizmos and ran some tests.  He gave me the lodown on my furnace - he needed some parts but didn't have them on his truck so he would have to come back on Monday.  Since my water heater was out of warranty by a few years and didn't look all that healthy I decided to also have him come back to replace the water heater the same day.  He actually suggested doing it the same day so he could bring an apprentice with him and have help carrying the water heater down into the basement without me paying for an extra guy to help him.

All in all they replaced the water heater with a larger model, they replaced several parts on my furnace after taking it apart and cleaning it and they were both here pretty much all day.  The job was done neatly and they cleaned up after themselves.

The price was competitive...for good work and warranteed.  I'm having them do more work so they'll be back.

Great service, they came to my house to install a gas dryer, the job was efficient and the price was right! Highly recommended!

had them put in a new boiler and oil tank they did such a great job. I could not believe how quiet and efficient they were  they left the place cleaner than when they came. All workmanship was top notch and very professional .If you need service or a new boiler these are the people to call. Thanks to all the crew and the girl who called from their office you are the best

I had to find a new HVAC person to get a furnace inspection and to check my TP valve on my water heater since my last guy was no longer in business. I went with Welch Brothers based on just reviews on Yelp and I'm glad I did. I made an on line request for service and even though I didn't receive a confirmation call or email, they adjusted their schedule to accommodate me.

Jim was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me simplistically. When he measured the pressure from the water heater, he made recommendations on how to handle the increased water pressure along with a quote for the parts and labor. He installed a new TP valve in the meantime to see if that will fix the water drainage but didn't push the recommendation unless the new TP valve didn't fix it.

I would definitely go back to them for future service!

Andrew quickly responded to my request online. Scheduling a site visit was easy. Once on-site, he swiftly diagnosed the problem was an outdated toilet, and gave great recs on buying a new one. With a new toilet purchased, he installed it in under an hour. Thanks for making this process straightforward and painless.

New home owner here, had a small puddle in the basement which grew 2 days later. Texted my issue and Chris came within 35 minutes. Excellent service

I called Frank based on positive Yelp reviews, but had a completely different experience.  He is a nice guy, but I'm sorry to say he is not very competent.  He had difficulty figuring out which parts to use to replace part of a faucet, and I literally had to stand next to him, looking at parts and helping him in order to get the job done (and I am not particularly handy).  I don't like to give a negative review, but I could not recommend him to anyone seeking a competent plumber.

When our water heater broke, they responded quickly and came on the same day. Welter was super nice and explained everything what was wrong and how to fix if the same thing happens next time. He never pushed / forced to buy or replace anything and gave us some options. We had a great experience with them and definitely we will use them whenever we need! Highly highly recommend!!!

Decided to get proactive with our 20 year old American Standard furnace. Selected Main Stream Mechanical to do the install and couldn't be happier. Technicians were very knowledgeable and professional. Very well run company with great communication. Couldn't be happier.

They were super quick, thorough, and professional. I had a leaking water heater, Matt responded immediately and had three guys come right over. They replaced my heaters that day and worked until very late Friday to get it done. Thanks

After hour contact needs some work. Service provided did not seem to completely fix the problem with my furnace and attempts to get back in contact with company over weekend hours were not met with level of service expected.

Excellent communication and service. I gladly would recommend their services. I had a leaking in my laundry  and it's was fixed fairly quickly. Thank you

Mike did all of our plumbing for a bathroom renovation, and all of the work to install a new heating system.  I would highly recommend him.

Crescent plumbing does reliable, quality work. The only issue (for which I take off a star) is that they are not cheap. They charged $200 to disconnect a gas range and to put a valve on the connector. It took them 30 minutes - kind of steep. On the other hand, they are upfront about approximate price, willing to give you ballpark pricing on the phone, do not nickel and dime, and do not try to scam you into unnecessary work. I use them for all emergencies.

Very dishonest .... I had a negative experience with this company regarding my central air. Cranny came out in the summer of 2014 and had told me I needed a new condenser, well it was not the condenser. I called several HVAC companies and all were honest
it was a wire that had been torn - $150.00 opposed to $2800. 00 ! I had another negative event with this company ...
