I don't hesitate to call Rich if I need plumbing work done. Rich put in a new boiler for us and has done some other work we needed. He does great work and is a true professional with a great attitude. We have an old house with a few quirks, so we appreciated Rich making the time to follow up with us to make sure our boiler was working as expected.

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 provided exceptional service in installing our water heater. His pricing was very reasonable, and he ensured that we received a high-quality heater while adhering to all city codes by changing the exhaust pipes. We are extremely satisfied with his work and wholeheartedly recommend his services.

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

Rich was awesome! We were in a real bind with no heat due to the Columbia Gas leaks in my area. Rich came in and worked long days through the weekend in order to get us back up and running. Incredibly thoughtful and trustworthy. Can't thank them enough!

Rich Mathews & Son installed both our heating system and our water heater in 2011. The service was great, the work was done efficiently, the cost was fair, and Rich provided clear instructions for the very simple maintenance that the systems require. We have had no trouble with either system since installation and Rich has consistently been responsive to our occasional inquiries over the years.

Rich Mathews just finished installing a new gas heat and hot water system in my sister-in-law's home in Revere. Rich's attention to detail, constant communication every step of the way and his personal willingness to go above and beyond every step of the way was superb!

I have hired a lot of different contractors for as lot of different jobs in the many years that I have been working on my home, as well as my family's homes. While I have had many good experiences, and some not so good, Rich is by far the best in his field! If you want the job done right and in Rich's case better than right, then look to Rich Mathews as your first and best choice!

Thank you again Rich,

We had to replace our gas hot air furnace recently and placed a call to Rich Mathews & Son to give us a quote to do the work. He had previously installed a water heater at our house and did a great job at a fair price so we didn't hesitate to call him again. He just completed the installation of our new gas heating system and everything went smooth from start to finish. He explained to us exactly what needed to be done and he made sure that the project is completed as promised at a price that was again unbeatable. I would highly recommend that you contact them for any similar work you need done and I will be sure to hire them again if the need arises! It was a pleasure working with him!

Great service - would give more than 5 stars if I could! Rich and Lori took a bad situation (failed combination hot water heater) and helped ease the pain, going above and beyond to provide a solution designed to last and explain the quirks of our new-to-us house / the plusses and minuses of our chosen approach to the system replacement. Prices were fair and very competitive with other plumbers in the neighborhood. They went out of their way to make sure the new system got in fast before the winter cold set in, and were all-around great to deal with - responsive on the phone, transparent about equipment delivery and project updates, and just super kind to us and our nosy dog. Highly recommend!

Can't say enough about Rich. I woke up around 5am to find our furnace fan running but not igniting. Called 10 places trying to get someone out that day and was turned away until we called Rich who mentioned he lived nearby and was happy to come by that morning. After 2 hours of working on the furnace he had everything up and running, provided us with all the information on what he did and what to keep an eye on, and best of all he didn't even charge us! Just a genuinely nice guy who really helped us out in a pinch.
