Best Electric Water Heater Installation in Boston MA

I called Consolidated with an urgent problem.  Something had broke in the basement and everything was flooded.  I shut down the water main, and called, hoping someone would come that same day.  Within a couple of hours, Mike showed up, diagnosed the problem as a split washing machine hose, replaced it, installed a couple of shutoff valves to help me in the future, and was on his way within an hour.

To say that I was pleased would be an understatement.  This is the kind of plumbing service I've always hoped I'd find.  I'm so happy I finally have!

Our commercial series kitchen sink faucet ruptured a hose and was inoperable at a time we had company staying with us over the holiday season.  Not only did Andrew come out quickly, but was he prepared, professional, and helped us both through the process of getting up and running temporarily, and getting a replacement for the product (which was under warranty but discontinued).  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!!!

Pat was awesome. We were impacted by the Artic Blast, called him in the morning and he said he would fit us in. He kept in touch with us during the day and he committed to his word, came by before going home and fixed our home. Very reasonably priced... I highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks Pat.

Main Stream is very helpful, answers all my questions, and accommodates my work schedule for service and maintenance.

The company was very efficient and helpful. They sent one of their plumbers to my place the same day. Mark R the plumber was great and knowledgeable and he took care of the wax ring in the toilet. I no longer smell the foul mold and other disgusting odors. It was expensive but worth every penny. I have other plumbing projects and would definitely call them again.

Bill did an exemplary job. He is extremely responsive, knowledgable, and a pleasure to work with. His customer service is second to none. He took excellent care of our furnace and addressed all of our concerns. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.

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

Very professional in setting up a last minute appointment and the visit was painless. He knew exactly what he needed to do and needed little guidance from me (I was on calls and couldn't help much). Installed a new kitchen faucet and replaced a couple faulty shutoff valves and even worked with my management company to get access to the shutoff valves for the building. I've found my go-to plumber.

I see why this business has 5 start all around !

Rich Mathews is really a good HVAC and plumbing expert, very genuine and honest with estimation, work and well organized. We got flooded and the hot water stopped functioning, called so many places, Rich was out on another job, promptly returned my calls, texts and emails. He also has a great relationship with the local town inspectors that is able to coordinate very efficiently on permits and inspection times. He came over on Saturday and got the water heater replaced by Monday, again kept us in the loop with the process. Fixed few things which the builder had forgotten about it during initial construction. He has kept in contact after the job was done to make sure we were runing and if other items related to water damage were getting addressed, highly recommend him, glad that I found my plumber for all future work (Thanks Rich !)

We called Baker-Elman to help solve our problem--- our shower in the master bedroom could not maintain hot water despite the house being equipped with two large water tanks. The 1st person that came spent some time, changed some parts he thought was responsible only to then remove these parts because he was wrong. He then called on someone more experienced who came by. After 3 different people coming out, no one could sort out the problem but mentioned that the recirculating line was connected in a funny way. Perhaps this was the problem but they needed to think about it. The left, problem not fixed, and sent us a fairly large bill. At that time, we had a bill but no thoughts and needed a solution. They came and spent more time finally to say that they would turn off the recirculating line which would cost us water but may help with the problem. Add another bill and still no working solution. At that time, they said that it may help to add a pump to the recirculator. They quoted us a large price for that work (in addition to the money they were already charging us) while noting that they were not sure they knew if this would solve the problem.

We called a different plumber. In contrast, the plumber was upfront with costs. Said they would charge $160 for diagnostics and not waste our money if they did not know what the problem could be. We did not provide the new plumber with information from the previous plumber. Within one visit and one person, they felt that it was in fact the recirculating line and that placing a pump would solve the problem. They gave us an estimate that was much much less than Baker-Elman quoted. They came, did the work, and we now have great hot water.

Baker-Elman essentially charged us nearly the same amount that the ENTIRE work cost us with the other plumber but all they did was scratch their chins. We sent them a note and tried to negotiate a lower payment given that we ended up with absolutely nothing at the end of their work. They responded that we gave away the solution and we mentioned that we absolutely had not. Without further discussion with us and despite our paying them a significant amount already, they filed a complaint in small claims court for the extra few hundred dollars we had asked them to lower their bill for. We basically paid twice for the work--- once with a group that had no idea what they were doing and did nothing and the second time for the actual solution which was quick and efficient.

The 2nd group was much more professional and upfront about costs. Baker-Elman was not. We weren't asking them for charity but we were asking them to be fair given that they should have been up front with costs and that the work was beyond their scope (i.e. know when it is time to give up).

We used their service twice and both were awesome and professional. The first time I called, we were 1 day before Soft opening event and nine HVAC system in my store worked!they sent Terry on the next day to save our big day.

The 2nd time call after a month for different issue, Jan the phone operator recognized me and my business immediately!!! Very impressive. Then, they sent Terry out again in an hour.
Terry is professional and responsible. We talked a bit , and I really appreciate their customer service and caring. We signed 1 year service contract with them.

Highly recommend Green Energy Mechanical

Looked on Yelp for a reputable plumber. Came across P. Floros because of the great reviews. Called and was able to immediately tell Floros about the issues that were occurring at my house and was also hoping to get my furnace inspected. P. Floros was upfront that he did not know whether he could attend to the furnace; I appreciated his honesty. Before hanging up, we agreed I would send photos of the furnace and water heater so he could better determine whether he could attend to the furnace. After doing so, he informed me he might be able to help. So, I tried to schedule a time (on two separate occasions, the second one was a few days after our first correspondence) that he could stop by; I informed him I was available anytime.

Unfortunately, he did not follow through in scheduling despite my attempts. I think that P. Floros is probably a busy person who attends to many people, many of whom have urgent needs. I presume that I was forgotten since I did not have anything that was immediate.

Knowing my plumbing issues weren't urgent compared to others, I understood if I would have to wait a few days to get my plumbing issues addressed. At the same time, I would have appreciated if P. Floros at least gave me a time frame rather than forgetting or potentially seeing my plumbing issues as unimportant. At the writing of this, it has almost been a week since our last correspondence.

Called for a quote on hot water heater installation, hot water was under warranty.  I was quoted $1600, just for installation.  I asked why price was so high if hwh was under warranty, the response was 'I don't know'.  I asked if I could speak to someone that could explain the price, I was put on hold and the same person came back on the phone and said that's the price.  Needless to say, I went somewhere else.  Disappointing

Travis was exceptional in solving my bathroom sink and shower issues (related to draining issue and water flow issues, respectively)! I had requested a quote on Yelp for plumbing support and he was the first to respond within minutes, offering week of availability. Travis provided an arrival window when initially scheduling, and was extremely communicated his timing morning off. Upon arrival, he quickly assessed the situation, laying out all potential options, and offered to get to work on the looking into the two issues or potentially rescheduling for another day. During the same visit, he was able to remediate both  issues in under 2 hours (including multiple testing), as well as installing a new shower head for me! Would highly recommend Shepherd and Sons to anyone in need of immediate plumbing needs, and will definitely be using for any future needs (though hopefully won't have anytime soon)!

Please stay away from this unethical company. The manager Rick was not only rude but also lack of basic ethics. This morning, when he called to ask me for payment for a 3-hour job --replacing a transformer for the heating system in my rental property. I told him please send me the invoice and I will mail you a check. He replied if I let everyone do that, I would go out of business. When I asked him to explain what was done and please at least show me a job order and a photo of the replaced/bad parts and I would give you my credit card info. Then I left home and started driving to the site. While I was still driving and wasn't able to answer his call, he left me a voice message saying if you don't call me back I will ask the plumber to put back the old parts and leave you with no heat. And within less than 30 minutes I parked my car and only found out that they already removed the parts and left my tenants in the cold. What kind of company would treat customers like this? This is absolutely unethical. Before they showed up this morning, we at least had some heat, but now the heating system does not even turn on. I don't know what they did and why it took them 3 hours the first time and only a few seconds the second time. First they wanted to overcharge you, and when that failed they just did more damage to your system and more inconvenience to people. What bad news!.......Soon after that I called another plumbing company, Winters Plumbing and Heating. They sent a technician over and inspected the heat pump, and concluded that the system was messed up and beyond repair.

Though you may receive good service, you will pay through the roof, and then if you seek feedback on why the cost is so high, the owner will yell at you and berate you.  

The service provided by Andrew Fodera, the plumber who provided my service was great. He was on time, respectful, answered questions and very helpful. However, you will pay through the roof for the service.  Andrew came to my home twice for no more than an hour each time to assist with a leaky kitchen faucet and continuously running toilet.  I was informed I needed to replace the kitchen faucet and he adjusted the chain in the tank and tightened some bolts.  Andrew returned to install a new kitchen faucet that I had already purchase.  The total for the two visits $791.96.

Feeling this was very high for two hours of work, I contacted Ron Pescatore to inquire about the bill and understand the charges. Only to have him yell at me on the phone and ask me repeatedly what I thought his time is worth.  I indicated that I expected to pay a reasonable hourly rate, but am very surprised at 2 hours of time for the work provided totaled nearly $400 an hour.  He continued to yell over the phone about the cost of his trucks and time to drive to my home stating more than an hour to drive each way.

Be advised, you are paying for labor, owners time to coordinate, drive time and god knows what else.  I take responsibility for not getting a cost estimate prior, I have learned my lesson.

I will pay my bill, but I would recommend that no one hire this company, given the high prices and the treatment you may receive from the owner if you reach out to better understand the cost.  Just know that with this company, you will pay through the roof for basic plumbing needs.

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!!!

I give them one star not because the service they provide is low quality but rather for the ludacris rates they charge.  Instead of charging by the hour as most contractors do, they have a book of fees.  If they need to put a hole into a wall to expose problem wiring or a leaky pipe, they charge $250.00.  For each hole.  It doesn't matter that this can be done in a matter of minutes with nothing more than a hammer or utility knife.  
    They came out to fix a rusted pipe that had finally blew on a saturday.  Their emergency service fee is $195 just to come out.  Add to that $250 to punch a hole in the wall to access the pipe and the bill was already $450 before any actual fixing had been done.  To cut out and replace a 2 inch section of easily accessible copper pipe the book required the plumber to charge me $950 (!!!!!!!).
    They were the only plumbers to answer my call on a saturday and I needed to have the water turned back on as soon as possible so I had no other option but to accept this extortion.  The total bill for about two hours of work and $20 in materials came out to $1400.  
    I will never use them again and I recommend that unless you burn hundred dollar bills to light your cigars, find someone else to get the work done.  Sure they have a fleet of service professionals who can be there at a moment's notice but is this really worth paying them hundreds of dollars per hour?

We selected Rodenheiser to install a 5 head Mitsubishi air/heat/fan system. The crew was nothing short of amazing. Dylan the crew leader was knowledgeable, respectful, thorough and terrific. You can actually feel and see the teamwork as the job progressed. They installed carpets at the front door to clean boots, all wore masks and distanced, cleaned up after themselves! and more.
We couldn't be happier with the install team.
Also had a great experience with Ross who came out, spec'd the system, managed the quote and oversaw all details. Amazing. These guys are PROS!
The difference in how they approached the system design and had all the details worked out made the other folks we talked to look like beginners. These guys have dedicated teams that install MITS and are the largest (and best I think) in that business. If you are thinking about doing a MITS Spilts system, talk to Rodenheiser. btw: our house is an old house and Mits fit in great!
