Best Air Duct Installation in Boston MA

Jen and Jonathan at Green Energy Mechanical were great to work with. After getting several (5) different quotes, Jonathan clearly stood out. He spent 45 minutes with us for a walk through, clearly explaining everything they would do. The price was competitive and the level of service was great. Both he and Jen were easy to communicate with if we had any questions or issues and we are extremely happy with the end result.

We contracted Green Energy for the installation of a new ac system and a conversion of an old steam radiator to forced hot air.

I would highly recommend them.

Disappointed would summarize the relationship with Belanger & Sons. I chose them based on the several good reviews and, as such, I expected more. I am giving them 3 stars because of their good communication/responsiveness and their willingness to make it work. However, the work was not as good as expected.

Positives:
- Communication/responsive
- Cleanliness
- Trying to make it work.

Negatives:
- The installation day they told me the installation was concluded and left. When I checked the soaking tub it wasn't level at all. It was, in fact, visible that it wasn't level since I could fit my hand below the bathtub on one side, while it was flush on the other. It wouldn't have happened if they had used a level to ensure proper placement before they left. The angle was about 10-12 degrees off.

- We were told our bathtub would be installed following the specifications of the manufacturer, but it wasn't. The specifications of our acrylic soaking tub called for a mortar bed, which was not used. As a consequence, our tub is squeaking when we shower, when we get in and when we get out. The squeaking started a couple of days after we started using the shower, unfortunately, so the tiles were already in place. Before knowing that NOT having a mortar bed was the issue, so I reached out to the manufacturer complaining about the issue with the tub and they asked me to take a picture through the opening behind the tub, which revealed no mortar bed. Because of that, the warranty of my newly installed $1,400+ soaking tub is gone. The manufacturer told me that any acrylic tub needs to be installed over a mortar bed. I would have expected the contractor to know that. Instead, the contractor tried to tell me that maybe the subfloor was not properly prepared and that maybe it was the subfloor that was making that noise when I step on the tub. They came 3-4 times in the course of about 8-9 months (yes, it took that long) to add expanding foam below the tub, but that didn't solve the issue.

- Minor: they left a small dent on one of the tiles next to the tub. They told me it was already there... The floor had been installed just a couple of months earlier and it was in perfect condition. I know these things can happen and I don't get mad, but I would have appreciated honesty.

Dello Russo was recommended to me by my plumber for an emergency hot water heater replacement.  Not only did the hot water heater fail, of course at night, but the main water valve to the home failed as well.  I called at 5:30AM in a fit of desperation and Andrew could not have been more understanding and courteous.  We should all be this pleasant when we're awoken at 5:30AM!  Andrew and Dan were at my house as promised and immediately got to work.  Expert advice on the replacement unit as well as how to fix the main water valve.  They took care of everything.  Within hours everything was resolved.  I couldn't be happier and they made the best of a bad situation.  Very happy with the installation configuration especially compared with the previous set up.  You know you got great service when your basement is cleaner when the plumber leaves than when he arrived.

I'm so glad I found James. My furnace wasn't working properly; I called him yesterday morning and he confirmed his availability for today 8am. It took him about 30 minutes to get my furnace back up and running. It helped that he came prepared with the necessary replacement parts. He even tested the furnace by turning it off and on several times to make sure it would continue to work and even waited a little while with me in case the burners would go out on their own. I also like that his office is less than a mile from my house so I'll be calling him again if I need anything in the future.

I've used PHD for the following:

* Dishwasher install (and removal)
* Estimate on fixing pipes in basement
* Toilet install (and removal)
* Boiler install (and removal)

The first three jobs were very standard. PHD came in and did the job at the price they quoted me, it was good work and I'd do it the same way again.

The last of these jobs was an emergency install. On Friday night our boiler started hemorrhaging water and we had to shut off. I called PHD and received a response within an hour from Tina (at around 8:30PM). I sent pictures of the damage, she spoke to the guys, and they came to the conclusion it needed to be replaced. They came on Sunday to review the damage and size up the space and came to the same conclusion. On Monday they ordered and received a replacement to my house, and worked until 8PM, and on Tuesday they completed the job. They stuck to their estimate despite the additional working hours on Tuesday, and cut new pipe to balance the boiler. The new boiler is much more efficient, both because it's new and a better boiler, but also because of this additional work. We no longer hear tremendous banging in our pipes, and because the system is that much more efficient we had to decrease the heat to the first floor.

Akian has been my go to plumbing service for some years - they respond quickly, clearly know what they are doing, and I thought their prices were fair (not cheap,but not gouging either). However after a recent experience with dishwasher replacement I no longer think they are fairly priced and will be shopping around first before using them again. I had a basic dishwater replacement job (no new lines, outlets or anything - old one out, new one in). On top of the $79 dispatch fee, the tech who came to take out the old washer first quoted me some fantastic price to the tune of $700 for removal of the old one and install of the new one. Upon clarifying this turned out to be a mistake and the actual price was $429 on top of dispatch fee. The overall time spend was barely an hour and a half. If you ask me, this is way too expensive for the work involved. I since called another highly rated plumbing service on Yelp and was quoted a range of $175-300. This makes more sense to me - as well as a range -as some job may be more complicated than others (running a new water line, an outlet etc).

Quick response, honest assessment, and fair price. I needed a toilet fixed. Will definitely call Readville plumbing again! I super appreciated the clever suggestion that I take a picture of the toilet before he came, so he knew the maker and the parts needed. It avoided what usual happens, which is the old line, 'yeah, I don't have the parts with me, I'll need to come back.'

My garbage disposal got clogged: the machine was working but the content of the disposal, ground, did not move through.  I disconnected the plumbing coming off the disposal and found that water that I inserted from above would came out easily.  Therefore, I thought there must have been a clogged pipe downstream, which was unaccessible to me.  I called MACCO and described what I just wrote here; they gave me an appointment for ONE WEEK later.  They also told  me that I would have to pay $ 320 minimum, regardless of how short or long the job was going to be.  When the plumber came he spent a good amount of time doing the same thing that I had done, and told me that he could not fix the problem and I needed a drain guy.  He even called his dispatcher (same person I had talked to, who confirmed that they do not do that type of work.  
I then called their office and said that I did not feel fair to charge me because they should have said right away that they could not do the job. The person on the phone just continued to repeat that I had accepted in advance to pay and that I had not told him that there was a clogged drain, which ridiculous because I knew that it was not a leak and that I had told him that I thought there was probably some obstruction downstream.  I even offered to meet in between with the charge because I understood the man who came had spent some work time, but there was no chance.  Eventually I paid.
I later called a drain company, they came the next day and in 15 minutes they got the job done, for $ 149.
I clearly will not use MACCO again and I would never recommend them to anyone, and I told them the same.

Once again I need to sing the praises of Boston Standard Plumbing. I had a furnace  with no heat. The technician Rob was knowledgable and provided the cause of the problem and an exact price of the work up front. Consider the service contract, it will save you some money. The work was done quickly, and without any problems. I even got a call when the tech was on the way, and shoe covers to protect my carpeting.
Rob was the BEST, I hope he gets a raise, for all his hard and excellent work.

I have used Papalia Home Services for the last three years since they installed our new heating system.  I got quotes from other companies and they were the best price and service.  They did an excellent job and went the extra mile to ensure my satisfaction.  I have been using them ever since.

We had a plumbing issue in late September, which was fixed by another company, but happened again in October. We called 128 for a 2nd opinion and for help fixing it. They came out the next morning and while they weren't able to fix the issue, they stood behind their guarantee of their work. We only paid the $49 to have the technician come out.

Bill Duggan and crew saved our new home's butt this winter- installing a new system for our downstairs and keeping our upstairs chugging along. From a burst pipe in the basement to leaky relief valves and burners that wouldn't fire- Quarry Hills took my often frantic calls in stride, gave us winning advice during emergencies, and kept our now boiler install going during the worst winter in Boston history.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Although I'm sure they don't need more work.

When my split ac/heat units weren't working, I called Gem. They did warn me of a $200 fee to come for service. I agreed. my system wasn't working.
They did no exploratory questioning. The service man arrived over an hour late. In TWO minutes he diagnosed problem as a simple wrong setting on the remote, and tagged an additional $200. So $400, for a 2 minute service that could and should have been handled on the phone. He admitted that he's called for this several times a week . A real racquet . Terrible so they pocket $400  a pop for a simple push of a button. If I wanted him to perform routine maintenance, it would have  been an additional $400. Outrageous! Two stars is generous.

Great company.  Had new furnace and a/c units installed.  Great products, installation and follow up.

What a horrible experience. Technicians came to repair my toilet. They removed the clog and charged an exorbitant amount. Now having talk ken the time to get other quotes retroactively I realize I was overcharged by several hundred dollars.

There were smears of brown left on the bathroom on floor and tub and a smalll trail of water over the entire first floor that dropped from the equipment they used.

I was prepared to accept being overcharged and for a sloppy mess that needed to be disinfected. Hi were the toilet overflowed the following day. My nanny unclogged with a plunger and ddisifected the bathroom and didn't tell me. The next day tthee same thing happened. I called asking for someone to come out the next morning. I was told I would have to pay again. They only guarantee for 24 hours. Even though it was not functional within 24 hours and a toilet I just paid nearly 600$ no longer works because it was 48 hours until it was reported they expected me to pay again.

I have never had such terrible customer service with any service industry. I am disgusted and will make certain no one I know will ever use this company.

I have used them for years. They always go the extra Mile. They don't push buying new equipment unless its really necessary. In one home, they put a new furnace in. They were professional, they were very thorough in the installation. They are overall excellent. A family owned business that cares.

Extremely professional service and outstanding quality work. They took care of all our concerns from quoting to installation. I had a very old system with pipes going in all directions. The installed unit (gas  fueled steam boiler) fits the space perfectly.  New pipes were installed with true craftsmanship. And cleanup was meticulous.
Aside from the quality of work, the were simply nice people. You could tell that quality and service were their highest priorities. Use these guys. You will not be disappointed.

I called for HVAC repair at the start of the cold weather and they said someone would be out later that day -- even giving me a time window in which to expect them. They then canceled last-minute during that window, leaving me without heat after I had already turned down other companies due to my exising appointment with them. The best they would offer as a rescheduled appointment was not for another month.

I took a chance on a company without any reviews and this is the result. Call them at your own risk.
