Best Boiler Services in Boston MA

I'm going to start with all of the positives, and there are many:

I first met with Kevin, who was extremely professional and courteous. I liked dealing with him, and he was pretty prompt with getting back to me. Communication is important and these guys know it! The guys he sent over, Josh and Bill, were also courteous and professional. Their task was to replace a cast iron drain and vent stack with new PVC, since the old drain was leaking.They had to disassemble a lazy Susan in my kitchen cabinet to access a particular pipe, but at the end of the job, it was fully reassembled like nobody had ever been in there. They kept wall cutting to a minimum and cleaned up after themselves, at least in my condo. So far so good.

Now for a couple of the downsides. Immediately below the joints of the new PVC piping, on the floor of my basement, is caked on pipe epoxy. It is unsightly and does not appear to be easily removable. Some are just blotches. Some are thin lines of it 8-10 inches long across the floor. This is apart from the water stains from the original pipe leak. I can take pictures as needed. It appears that Josh and Bill may have not used a drop cloth when they were working in the basement.

Also the $1895 estimate given to me at the start of the project was basically exactly what the final invoice was. This is a positive, but I expected a more detailed breakdown of the exact cost of what I paid for. There was only one line item on the invoice with a simple description of the job and the total cost. At minimum, I expect a labor breakdown, including an hourly rate, and a list of parts and their costs. I did some prep work on their behalf, which included carefully removing built-in shelves (for later reassembly) and cutting exploratory holes to precisely locate the questionable pipe and any adjacent electrical wiring, so that they could gain access to the necessary areas without the additional labor of doing that themselves. But that seemed to have no downward impact on the final invoice despite giving them at least an hour head start on the job.

Overall, I'm still pleased, and hope to give them another star in the near future if they can somehow address these issues. I still consider them my go-to plumbing service, but they need to take cleanup measures in all areas they work, not just livable spaces.

We have used Ostroski Plumbing a couple of times and will definitely continue to contact them whenever we have plumbing issues.  Price is very reasonable and they are very responsive.  Their work is thorough and they really know what they're doing.

Angel provides excellent service from the beginning to the end and beyond.

My water heater stopped working in the winter and I noticed a leak in it so I needed the service right away. I contacted Angel and he showed up within an hour to inspect the problem.
The heater was out of warranty and needed to be replaced so he took care of the whole thing the same day for a fair price. Btw our condo is on the third floor and the heater was in a very tight spot so it was not an easy job.

Moreover, he went above and beyond to make small plumbing fixes in our house with no extra charge.

Finally, he also noticed a faint leak coming from the roof where our furnace vents were and sent his friend roofer to fix it for us the very next day!

I'd say he's the best in the area and believe me I've looked around.

Consolidated Plumbing is top notch.  Mitch did a bathroom remodeling job for us with Doug Rausch as contractor several years ago.  They gutted our bathroom down to the studs and completely remodeled it.  Mitch's plumbing work was a work of art, and Doug's carpentry and tile work was excellent.  We had done a previous bathroom remodel with another company, and Consolidated was far superior.   We have made use of their plumbing services with Tommy since then, and we've been very happy with Tommy's work and Jodi's front office services.  Thank you Consolidated!!!

Hinchey Brothers Plumbing is Great! Sam did a boiler tune up in the beginning of January. Marlene the Office Manager contacted me the day before
my appointment and on the day of the appointment regarding Sam's arrival time.Sam maintained precautions wearing a mask. He was very professional/polite and on time. The tune up didn't take long.I have been using Hinchey Brothers for years! I highly recommend them!!!!

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

Andrew was phenomenal to work with. He gave me a quick quote on Yelp, very fairly priced for a faucet replacement. Since my place is on the east coast and I live on the west coast, Andrew offered to pick up a kitchen faucet of my choosing. He gave me great recommendations based on what I asked for and stayed close to my suggested budget when picking out the sink. Once it was installed, he was kind enough to send me video so I knew it was all set! Highly recommended!

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!!!

we had an oil burner service company for 20 years and the owner retired a few years ago.  we thought we would never find that level of service again. we decided to convert to natural gas, and we used mainstream mechanical. we also installed a whole house generator.  these guys do great work, are professional, and know their stuff!  we are always assured that no matter what time of the year, day or night, if we have a problem they are there!  we highly recommend mainstream.  Lisa and Richard M.

I don't write reviews but Simon and his company are awesome.  I highly recommend this company for any plumbing project.  Responded quickly to my calls. Great work ethic, very professional and knowledgeable, reasonable rates.

I don't often leave 5 star reviews but when a company is worthy of it, I do my best to do it, and Bushi Plumbing and Heating is definitely worthy of it. On a Saturday afternoon my gas boiler system started making loud banging and rattling noises. Keep in mind I just moved to Salem, MA from Phoenix, AZ where gas boilers aren't a thing, and after those recent gas explosions in this area, I was freaking out thinking my boiler was going to explode. The noises just didn't sound right so I tried calling multiple different companies that said they offered emergency service. The only company to get back to me was Bushi Plumbing. I explained the issue over the phone and he pretty much knew what the issue was before he even came out (air in my pipes). He told me it wasn't a serious issue but that he would come out. I gave him my address and he was at my house less than 30 minutes later. He flushed out all of my pipes in like an hour and the noise was gone. He was also able to inform me that 1 of the pumps out of my 6 zone house was broken and needed replacing that he could come back Monday to fix everything. I'm holding off on fixing it but will most likely call Bushi Plumbing back when I'm ready. When it comes to customer service and building customer loyalty, this guy is the best.

I have never in my life met a team so passionate at their job.  We needed a water heater replaced in our house as well as some other areas issues looked at/fixed.  Once we called Landmark we were completely taken care of.  We were met at the house and provided options that ranged in prices (with no upset pressure), they educated us on current requirements for venting (3 duct to a now required 4 duct), as well as provided us some good insights into how the water system works in general.  Clearly knowledgeable.  The quote they provided was never exceeded and we were provided options when looking at water heaters.  We chose the one we wanted and before you knew it the team was at the house, early on a beautiful Saturday morning ready and eager to get to work.  The work was done beautifully.  Not only did we have a new water heater installed (which looks darn good I must say), they installed the new venting ducts as well as shored up ALL the pipes in the basement (something they certainly did not need to do): insulated this one, clamped down that one, checked the water pressure here and removed excess pipes there.  A dream team.  

Quoting and invoicing is done through FreshBooks which makes the entire transaction paperless and easy.  Pricing was unbelievably fair for the work done.

These guys have not only earned our trust, but have earned lifelong customers as well as references.

They ended up having to do extra work that wasn't included in the original estimate and yet they didn't ask or expect to be paid for it.
That is a stand-up business that will hold themselves to their own estimates ... even when they could have easily stuck me with an added charge as 'unforeseen problems'. .
They are a definite go-to business for all plumbing work ... without question.

If i could give -10 stars I would! The new ownership is not worthy of Michael's name. They showed up and charged $388 (COD) to replace a part that was not even the problem. Then when I called and spoke with David Russo, the new owner, he would not stand behind his work and said his guy did replace a part and that it might be an electrical concern. WOW, funny thing is, I said that initially. Turns out, after hiring another plumbing contractor, they replaced a relay and that cured the problem. I would find another plumbing contractor!!!

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.

Had the pleasure of having Ron come out and replace the shut offs on my washing machine. He was on time, courteous, used Covid precautions and was very professional . He was able to come by the very day I called them and was very reasonable with his pricing.
 I would definitely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Our Burnham boiler has been giving us issues this winter after just purchasing the new house over the summer. We've come home a number of times to no heat and a cold house, but had luckily managed to YouTube our way into figuring out fixes. This time unfortunately we couldn't figure it out and needed to search for an HVAC contractor. Green Energy was the first company I could even get to answer my call. At 9am Melissa was able to set me up with a day of appointment, Terry was at our house by 1pm. Since this boiler type is still new to us, Terry was great with explaining the workings of the equipment, and just some general tips for upkeep. It ended up being a simple fix with a loose relay, however I would of never been able to figure that out on my own. Terry ended up also doing a general servicing and cleaning of the unit, which they recommend annually to help the equipment last longer (we're positive the previous owners never did it). I would highly recommend Terry, he was knowledgeable and overall good guy. We also plan to sign up for their annual membership program and use Green Energy moving forward.

I found Chase a few years ago because I would often see their trucks in my neighborhood. Here's why I love them 1) So responsive.  Never have to wait long for an appointment 2) The office people are kind and so polite 3) The plumbers are professional, always cover their shoes before the come in, polite. 4) Work is done right the first time.  As it relates to pricing I don't think they are too high. The services I need seem reasonable. I was always counseled on the phone prior to the visit on what the base costs are. Super happy and highly recommend.

I love Alewife plumbing, they are everything you'd want in plumber. Great response, clear explanation of the work to be done and the cost, on time, very fair on their pricing and professional!  
I had a different plumbing company out before them that said I needed a $260 repair, that Alewife did for $10, while taking care of another major problem.  
I can't say enough good things about them, after having all kinds of services on my older home, I wish they were all run like Alewife.

Avoid this company!!! I bought a heat pump from them They never told me they don't work when the temperature is below 30 degrees!!! Of course we had a week of sub freezing temperatures & it died!!! Also the kids installing it were about 17 years old!!! What a disappointment Avoid at all costs!!!
