1.1k+ In early autumn of this year, my oil-fired boiler gave out and a puddle of water appeared in front of it. Now, I know nothing about plumbing, but a friend of mine is a plumber and stopped by to take a look."You've got a crack in the bottom of your boiler, man" he told me. "You're gonna need a...
Scott EnergyTom stopped by as scheduled and checked the work that I was interested in, namely boiler replacement, leaky radiator valve with corroded pipe and capping off an old gas pipe. He was very helpful and polite. He pointed out that the boiler could last several more years but that the 7yr old...
They were very knowledgeable. It was John Stelline and he was very knowledgeable. He came out in person to prepare the quote and even while he was here, he checked something that needed to be done with our boiler that we were replacing so I appreciated that.
Quick response to initial call, able to arrange an early morning visit. Took a good look around fireplace, furnace, boiler, dryer vents and flues. Offered good advice but was in no way pushy or attempting to find additional work. Cleaned fireplace flue quickly with minimal disruption and...
The Big Deal that is offered assumes that people know the difference between a furnace and a boiler. Seems there should be more detail on the deal that is offered. There shouldn't be an offer when there are pre-qualifications that need to take place.
Swampscott Refrigeration IncThey’ve just been great. They’re responsive. They got 24 hour on call service. When we needed the new boiler, they came right out and do the estimate. They’ve been great. They always get it done in one day.

We are experts at providing air conditioning solutions for older homes, oil/gas to heat pump conversions, and are Mass Save certified heat pump contractors. We’ve built a reputation for superior quality, through years of putting the customer first and getting the job done right the first time. As local residents, our family and expertly trained team of technicians think of our customers as neighbors; our goal is to maintain our reputation as a quality organization, continuing to offer superior heating and cooling services in the Boston area and ensuring that you can be proud of our work and products for years to come.
"Diagnosis and repair were straightforward and the talented Mike, who has done other great work for us on our ACs, had a replacement pump in his truck. Swapped over in under an hour. Cost of the repair was quite high, mainly due to very high price they charged for the pump. A Taco pump that I could buy for $175 was priced on this repair at more than $500. I get that it was an urgent situation and I’m happy to pay reasonably for the response but that mark-up bothered me. I called the office, had a long talk with the owner; sadly, she offered no consideration at all. Yes, it’s hard to find and keep skilled techs, but now seems that most HVAC firms have a business model like a car dealer’s service dept, far more corporate, less flexible or customer-considerate."

"Charged $2,000 (that's right, $2,000!) to install a new sprayer faucet and soap dispenser in Boston. $1,500 went to labor, which took less than 2 hours. I'm sorry, but $750/hr is outrageous. I did pay it because I wanted to expedite solving the problem for the tenants, but I now regret as their dishwasher is not working and I suspect the plumber failed to reconnect everything probably."

"Joe, the AirCo sales representative, was very professional. He actually asked for my feedback on priorities for a new boiler. This was important to me because the boiler sits below our family room, and the noise level of the boiler was as issue. His proposals listed several boiler options, based on heating efficiency, which were competitively priced. The installation was run by Steve, who was able to fit in the installation the next week. Steve, and his crews, were punctual and courteous, and the installation went smoothly.

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
