ABAIR PLUMBING & HEATING

Warren Abair Plumbing & Heating has been answering plumbing and heating calls in Middleboro since 1947, now in its third generation as a family-run shop. The company says it handles both residential and commercial work and offers 24-hour emergency service for no-heat calls — a detail that matters most in a New England winter. Its Google page shows a perfect 5 stars across 10 ratings, and the handful of written reviews on hand tell a consistent story about how the company treats people. A customer who called on a busy morning, in a review posted in December 2025, said the team called back quickly, listened to the problem, and — even though it wasn't a job Abair could take on — referred them elsewhere and stayed kind about it the whole way through. A longtime customer, in a 2022 review, credited the company with fair pricing and short waits after years of hiring them, and another review from 2023 called the owner "a true professional" who's there when needed. There isn't much to flag. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited, but also notes no complaints on file — it simply says it doesn't have enough information yet to assign a rating either way. The Master Plumber and Oil Burner license numbers the company lists on its own site haven't yet been checked against the state registry, so treat them as the company's own claim for now rather than a confirmed credential. For a family shop that's been fixing pipes and furnaces in the same town for nearly eight decades, the pitch is straightforward: call for the everyday plumbing and heating work, especially a no-heat emergency, and expect them to be straight with you even when the job isn't theirs to take.
