A&L Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Inc. describes itself as a family-owned and operated plumbing and HVAC business serving homeowners. A 2026 patch.com article reports that it has rebranded as Test of Time Plumbing, Heating, Air & Electrical, marking its 50th anniversary and its expansion from a local plumbing business into a full-service home services company. Its MA plumber license 4455-PL-C is active on the state registry. In a 2025 review, a customer said their AC system started leaking during the hottest day of the summer and Paul came within 24 hours to assess it; he fixed it and made some system recommendations. In another 2025 review, a customer said their hot water tank leaked from the overflow pipe, and that within minutes at the house Mike knew exactly what the problem was, fixed it the same day and explained the root cause. A 2025 review said the customer called early on a Friday morning to replace three outside exhaust vent covers blown off in a storm, and everything was replaced by Friday afternoon. In a separate 2025 review, a customer said the plumbers Mike and Ben did great work and were very respectful of the home, and that the company notified them ahead of time when the workers would be over. Another 2025 review said all work was explained and pricing was up front. A recent 3-star review from someone who did not hire them says the quote was very high, with prices about 15-40% higher than other professionals, and that the job was marked as hired on Thumbtack, which kept other professionals from reaching out with quotes. That reviewer says the techs were nice.

Never hired them. They came out to provide a quote, which was very high compared to other professionals. They marked the job as hired in thumbtack which prevented other professionals from reaching out to offer quotes on the job. Techs were nice, but prices were about 15-40% higher than the other professionals.
Very impressed by A&L Plumbing and very happy with the service we received so far. Our AC system started leaking yesterday, during the hottest day of the summer, and Paul came to us within 24 hrs to assess. He was able to fix it and made some valuable system recommendations. His knowledge and experience were evident. We are planning to move forward with A&L Plumbing to complete these recommendations given their impressive expertise and responsiveness.
Our experience working with A&L Plumbing was great from start to finish. This company has amazing communication, notified us ahead of time when the workers would be over, and the plumbers Mike and Ben did great work and were very respectful of our home. 10/10 would recommend them and will work with them in the future!
I cant recommend A & L highly enough. From the person who answered the phone to the technician who came to my house everybody was helpful and professional. All work was explained to me and pricing was up front. Would use them again.
Shawn was courteous and efficient. He spent time making sure our a/c system was clean and operating properly, ready for the hot season coming up.
