Marlborough, MAMarlborough, MA
Verified record
A & L Plumbing, Heating and Cooling, Inc. is a Marlborough, MA plumbing, heating and cooling company. Its plumbing licence, 4455-PL-C, is active on the state registry. On its HomeAdvisor profile, the company says it has over 20 years experience. In a 2025 review, they got the job because they called back first and had availability that same day. In 2024, Mateus and Lucas did excellent work and answered every question, according to an Angi review. In 2010, they came to connect a gas dryer and ended up upgrading the vent system to meet code. A 2010 heating job ran over a weekend: he communicated, showed up on time, came back two or three times for different parts, and got the heating system taken care of, though the cost ran higher than expected. In 2009, they connected a jacuzzi steam generator, fishing a wire through the wall from the third floor to the cellar, and finished within a couple hours. In another 2009 review, A&L called right away and explained the billing details from the start. A 2026 review from a longtime customer says prices had increased dramatically and the fee structure left them feeling taken advantage of. They called twice afterward, were told someone would call back, and neither time did anyone follow up.
I?m writing this because I used to be a genuinely loyal customer and had always been very happy with their service. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was so different that I feel compelled to share it. Over time, the prices have increased dramatically, while the customer service has become much less focused on the customer. In my most recent experience, the fee structure left me feeling like I had been taken advantage of. I never expected the work to be free, and I have no problem paying a reasonable price for quality service. But there is a big difference between charging appropriately and structuring fees in a way that leaves a customer feeling exploited. I called twice afterward because I wanted to give the company an opportunity to address my concerns. Both times, I was told someone would call me back. Neither time did anyone follow up. That lack of response was almost as disappointing as the original experience. I was a longtime customer but no more.
Very prompt service. They got the job because they called back first and had availability that same day. Good worker.
They were awesome, professional and very polite. Mateus and Lucas both did excellent work and answered any questions we had. Would recommend them to anyone who needs work done!
