Best Gas Water Heater Installat… in Boston MA

I can't speak more highly towards Kevin at Big Blue Plumbing and Heating. I should mention up front that I haven't had any actual work performed by this company, so I can't speak to the cost, timeliness or reliability of the workmanship, but if Kevin is any indication, I would expect great things.

   I had a drafting issue with the flue exhaust system at my house. I emailed my problem to Big Blue and received a prompt response from Kevin who asked for more information. After a few back and forth emails, he gave me a call and we discussed the problem for a good 20 minutes over the phone. I then emailed him some dimensions of the runs, diameters,  etc and he took his own free time to do some calculations to assess the work and then spent another 20 minutes on the phone discussing it with me. He even offered to come by and take a look at the situation if his suggestions didn't improve things.

   Amazing level of professionalism and willingness to help. Highly recommended.

I just had an excellent experience with Greg.  I was in need of a plumber to take care of a few issues on our home inspection report as we're in the process of selling our house.  I had left a message for Greg - and called back the next day...he was so apologetic that he couldn't return my call the same day.  This started our experience off in right foot.

Within a few day, Greg came by - addressed the issues and even suggested I not get something repaired as it could lead to future issues.  He was honest, and extremely kind and respectful.

It's too bad that I'm moving - for Greg would be my go-to for anything plumbing and heating.  Before calling anyone else, please let Greg take care of you!

Angel came to diagonise my boilers . He is very honest and has very deep knowledge in plumbing work

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.

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

Water pressure was low and they came to resolve the issue right before my wife decided to threaten me with a divorce if it's not fixed.

Con: They said that they would send me a quote the day after seeing the issue but I have yet to receive anything and I've reached out a least a couple times.

Pro - They were very responsive at first.

It's not often that I feel compelled to post a review on Yelp.  Frank has earned and deserves my positive review.  Here's my story ...

My 89 year old parents live in a house that has very old plumbing.  After other plumbing  companies told them that their bath fixtures and pipes could not be repaired and they would need all new plumbing because the parts did not exist, I searched further and found Frank Formica plumbing on the internet.  I called him and he resonded immediately and went to my parents home that same day.
He approached the job as a 'repair' and found the necessary parts from plumbing suppliers (same day!) and made their sink and shower as good as new.

Frank saved my parents over $1,800 by repairing the leaks vs. installing new fixtures, pipes, and sink and cabinet.

Frank, if you read this, I pass along my gracious thanks and appreciation for choosing to not rip apart my parent's bath because it would have been disruptive and uneccesary.  I also want to thank you for your patience with my Dad's lack of hearing and confusion and my Mom's never-ending questions!  If you can please my Mom, you are a saint.  REALLY!  

I will gladly chat with anyone who would like more information about my experience.

Welter is the Man!  

I have an aging Buderus GB142 condensing boiler that has been having those old age boiler things happening. I had been using a local service with a monthly support agreement but recent experiences with under trained techs led me to search for someone more familiar with my boiler.
After having been quoted $4,900 to repair my boiler for error codes and inaccurate pressure readings from Company A, I contacted Welter and he came in and assessed a few problems. The issues were addressed efficiently, parts were replaced, connections were repaired the boiler was deemed ready for service and the total bill amounted to less than 20% of Company A.
Long story short, Welter is an experienced plumber, heating pro, with a positive attitude and excellent troubleshooting skills. Highly Recommend Welter for any heating / hot water issues.

Such nice people and fantastic communication plus great work. Thank you to Pat and his team!

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.

Never was a company more accurately named! If I could give Simon from High Quality Plumbing a ten-star rating, I would. From the start when he sent me a calendar meeting invite for the initial consultation, I knew I was dealing with a professional. Simon and his assistant, Nic, replaced a poorly installed Navien combi boiler that controls our heat and hot water when it suddenly died in the middle of winter. We'd had recurring problems with it because of the poor installation. It was a lot of work to replace, and he and Nic worked diligently to get the job done so we could have our heat and hot water back on as soon as possible.

Simon installed a newer model Navien combi boiler that is much quieter and has several new features. He also added several redundant valve shut offs to make future servicing of the system as easy as possible to keep it running efficiently. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, and why each of the components were necessary and what they did, sending links from the manufacturers so I could feel comfortable with his suggestions. He was thorough and careful in planning the system as a whole. When a stubborn problem arose with one of the components, he followed every lead to make sure it was adjusted properly.

After the job was finished, Simon was diligent in making sure that the system was tested properly and that all the valves were labeled so that we knew where the gas and water shut offs were in case we needed to shut off the system in an emergency. He had a city inspector come in to approve the work, so you know he had installed everything according to code. It was approved on the spot with no problems.

I can't say that I've ever had this good of an experience hiring a contractor to work in my home before. He and Nic were respectful,  professional, and considerate. They put drop cloths down where they worked and cleaned up the space afterward. Every evening, they would make arrangements for what time they would each be arriving the next morning, and they were always on time and stayed into the evening some days. I wish I could hire them for every job needed around our house!

Called and was able to make an appointment next day.  They were great, found the issue and fixed it on the spot.  Even showed me what the issue was so I understood the problem and what he would need to do.  Recommended an access solution to the affected area for the future.  I was very happy.

Update to original post.  Seems there was a big mixup. Owner called me to apologize within 5 min of me posting review. The weekend, central  call center did not tell anyone this was an emergency so they treated and routed it as normal scheduling. I still have not used their services but can say the owner was genuinely concerned and wanted to make up for the miscommunication (and not even his fault). I would absolutely call them again for any plumbing work.  
Sunday afternoon and our main drain clogged. Needed emergency service. Website said the same- 24/7 emergency services. Quick response initially, then a few texted questions. I assumed they were trying to find someone who could do the work. Four hours later they texted back to say they could come Thursday. It is Sunday.

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.

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.

Mike Richard has done outstanding work at our home over the past 8 years. He works so efficiently he actually jogs to his truck and back to get any needed supplies. Mike is always timely and communicates about any issues that he finds, offering various solutions. Most recently, he put me in touch with other contractors that have also done superb work.

I have used Baker-Elman for several years and have always had absolutely superb service.  They will come on an emergency basis, show up as scheduled, do excellent work and clean up after themselves.  I've worked with many plumbing companies and this one is the one to call!!
