Testimonials

I contracted Rich to replace a forced hot water boiler and electric hot water heater. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, focused on doing the right thing for a very reasonable price. I had tenants that had no heat and cold weather fast approaching. Rich was responsive, and took the time to make sure he was doing things right. While on the phone, Rich looked at the property on Google maps to understand how he was going to get the new boiler in, came over after hours to check over things and take measurements. I got multiple bids from other contractors, and Rich was the only one to provide open, honest recommendations that had my best interests in mind. He pulled permits, showed proof of insurance and was accommodating around my work schedule. Not only that, but his relationships with others in the industry proved immensely helpful, including a referral for a very competent electrician, and being on first name basis with the inspector. I have no doubt my job was done right. His knowledge and attention to detail are top notch and I would highly recommend him.

I called Rich at the beginning of December to talk about replacing my ancient (1982) furnace and a water heater that was starting to hurt. Add in that I was trying to do it through Mass Save with a heat loan. Rich came out to my house on a Saturday to look at the job and give us the quote we would need to get the heat loan. He had the quote to me that same day via email and he dropped off a paper copy the next business day. He's forthright and honest and he started teeing up the special pieces we would need while we were waiting for the bank to approve the loan. He was very responsive the whole time and was good about giving me a call for updates.

Because of the jury-rigged nature of the old furnace, he told us it would take two days, possibly three, to get the old one out and the new furnace and water heater in. He worked late on a Friday to get it done right before the temperatures dropped down below 20. The new ductwork, venting, and drain for the condensate are all really well done. You can see the quality of his work. It is well below freezing outside, and this is the warmest my house has been since I bought it. He even came back after the install was complete to change an exterior fitting for the air intake because he wasn't happy with the part he had on hand when he did the job originally.

Rich did an exceptional job at our house. We are new homeowners and we were faced with a water heater not up to code. Not only did he go out of his way to ensure that the correct solution was done, but he took the time to explain all the options, listened to our needs and gave us the best pricing- out of three quotes! The job was completed the following day immaculately. He followed up the following day to ensure our satisfaction. An extremely professional and honest person.

Rich Mathews plumbing made sure we had hot water asap after our boiler went down- thank you! Rich explained every detail about the installation in clear way and was detail oriented- boiler set up looks great! Highly recommend.

I feel like these great reviews still don't do Rich justice! He was absolutely amazing from that first call to the end of the job!

One of the things that stood out the most was how he helped me on the phone. Most companies I spoke to wanted as much info in your first breath as you could get out, and were mad if you missed anything. When I started right in Rich stopped me, asked me my name, told me his, and asked how I was. I knew he was the guy right there. He knew his stuff very well, and was patient when I couldn't answer questions. He came over to check out our very, very, poorly installed water heater and quoted us a very great price. He gave us options, and really seemed like he had our best interests in mind. He was able to come a day later which was faster than we had even expected, and got us fixed up in no time. All while my 2.5 year old bothered him wanting to help lol.

He went above and beyond for us, gave us a great price, and overall just a really nice person. We will never use anybody else.

After being told my hot water heater was in "imminent failure" I reached out to Rich, and he was able to help me within a day. I shared photos of my heater and Rich provided a quote over the phone. Upon installation, it became clear it would not be a cut and dry replacement - Rich meticulously checked pipes, exit points, etc. to ensure that my building and I were safe, and fixed unexpected issues that came up. All while sticking with his original quote. Rich was amazing - super friendly, professional and obviously cares about his work and clients.

Rich Mathews came out the same day to replace my water heater when it died. He was on time, professional, and personable. He handled permits and did everything to a high standard that easily passed inspection. I felt he went above and beyond to ensure I understood how the system worked and what he was doing. I would definitely use him again.

These guys helped my mom out with great service in a pinch. A reliable, caring, and smart company. Highly recommended!

Rich Mathews helped us convert our house from oil to gas heat, and we had a wonderful experience with him. He got to our job ahead of schedule, was incredibly easy to work with, fixed some other various issues he found while he was here, and gets bonus points for bringing treats for our dog (who loves Rich now). The next time we have a plumbing need he’ll be our first call, and we can’t recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Rich! He replaced our failing hot water heater. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Rich answered all of our questions and explained everything he was doing. He really cares about his customer’s safety and makes sure that the job is done right.
