All Star Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning

Massachusetts plumber licence 17051-PL-M is registry-verified active and held by Anthony Rizzari - the same Anthony customers name in nearly every review. That matters here, because this is a one-name operation: people do not write about "the company", they write about the man who showed up. Google publishes a 5-star average from 111 ratings, and the written record runs 2023 through 2026. The defining pattern is when he arrives. Customers describe an 8:30pm call-out on Fourth of July weekend to fix central AC, a Christmas Eve visit after five other companies said days, a Friday-night emergency leak, a Sunday morning boiler call, and a midnight burst expansion tank at a rental where a new tank came off the truck the same night. Two separate customers timed the response at twenty minutes. This is the rare case where a 24/7 claim is corroborated by customers who tested it. Diagnosis is the second thread, and the specifics are unusually concrete. In an April 2026 review, a homeowner brought him in for a second opinion on a Navien system another company had installed and could not fix; he found within minutes that a heat expansion tank had never been installed, fetched one from his truck and corrected the leak. In a 2024 review, another customer described a ceiling leak above the ductwork that could not be seen at all - he reached in blind, removed the failed snake-bite fitting and replaced the section. Others describe him talking a customer out of a Wi-Fi module they did not need and troubleshooting problems over FaceTime before charging for a visit. The work spans plumbing and HVAC rather than one or the other: water heaters including tankless and electric conversions, burst and leaking pipes, sump pumps, toilets and vanities, propane and gas stove connections, central AC and condenser and coil replacement, furnace relays, boilers, and a heating system brought up to code to pass inspection. Pricing comes up often and always in the same direction - upfront breakdowns, staying on budget, and reasonable rates. On credentials, the state registry confirms the master plumber licence. The Better Business Bureau accredits the business and grades it A+, and separately lists three further Massachusetts registrations for it - a corporate plumbing licence, a construction supervisor licence and a sheet metal licence. Those three are the directory's records rather than registry-confirmed here, so confirm them with the state if they matter to your job. They are a strong call for plumbing and heating emergencies where speed matters, for water heater work, and for a second opinion on a system another contractor has struggled with. As a one-technician operation, ask about availability before booking a large scheduled installation.
