# Barret Phelan Plumbing & Heating Inc **Trade:** Plumbing · **Address:** 10 Sandy Ln, Bourne, MA 02532 · **Phone:** (774) 930-3561 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.9/5** (high confidence) — from 55 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Barret Phelan Plumbing & Heating works to a pattern that repeats across six years of reviews: a boiler or furnace fails at the worst possible time, and Barret is at the door within hours. Reviewers describe a furnace stopping at 4:30pm on a Friday with a fix that same evening, a midnight issue handled first thing the next morning, and an air conditioner back up and running the day after a heat-wave breakdown, in a 2025 review. The company's Massachusetts plumbing license, 4494-PL-C, is active and registered under the business's own name. Google shows a 5-star average from 29 ratings, and Angi and HomeAdvisor both list 4.9 stars from 85 reviews — though those two figures, and much of the review text behind them, line up closely enough to be the same syndicated feed rather than two separate audiences. The work described spans boiler and furnace repairs, full boiler and water-heater replacements, and routine calls like leak repairs and shower-valve swaps. A 2021 review describes a full combi-unit replacement finished in a tight space over a weekend, including help getting a MassSave rebate started; a 2022 customer noted Barret had by then handled four separate jobs in their home, "from a simple job to a few complicated installations." As recently as March 2026, one reviewer who calls Barret "my plumber for the last five years" described him as fairly priced and focused on the customer — a pattern that holds through the newest reviews on file, all five stars. A handful of the shorter write-ups read as generic ("great guy, extremely knowledgeable") and a few carry typos consistent with a quick, informal review rather than polished marketing copy, but nothing in six years describes a bad outcome. There's little to flag going in — no lapsed licensing, no government action, and no complaint pattern on any of the three platforms. The jobs described range from routine repairs to full boiler replacements, so it's worth confirming scheduling and any materials lead time upfront if your project is on the larger end. **Strengths:** - Emergency response — same-day and after-hours fixes for no-heat calls - Boiler & furnace repair — replaced combi units, blower motors, aging boilers - Verified MA plumbing license — active, registered under the company's own name - Consistent multi-platform ratings — near-perfect scores on Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor since 2020 - Repeat customers — some cite five years of continued use **Where sources disagree:** - Angi and HomeAdvisor report identical 4.9-star/85-review figures with overlapping review text, suggesting a shared syndicated feed rather than two independent audiences - The registry-verified license lists the holder as 'Barret Phelan Plumbing & Heating LLC' while this business is recorded as '...Inc' — the entity type differs though the trading name is identical ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts plumbing license 4494-PL-C is registry-verified active, held under the name Barret Phelan Plumbing & Heating LLC _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://occupationallicensingandpermitting.mass.gov/madol/s/license-search-page) — “MA plumber license 4494-PL-C registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Barret Phelan Plumbing & Heating LLC” - Near-unanimous 5-star ratings across Google, Angi and HomeAdvisor, spanning 2020-2026 _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Barret%20Phelan%20Plumbing%20%26%20Heating%20Inc&query_place_id=ChIJJdI84LH95IkRFK5WijXXlLo) — “Google: 5★ from 29 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/horseneck-beach/barret-phelan-plumbing-and-heating-reviews-71546849.htm) — “Angi: 4.9★ from 85 ratings” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.BarretPhelan.71546849.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.9★ from 85 ratings” - Fast, often same-day or after-hours response to no-heat and no-hot-water emergencies _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xsRFVXZG9kR0ZNY0dONFNUWlBXVmRtU0ZoVGFXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xba94d7358a56ae14!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOllDUWdodGFMcGN4STZPWVdmSFhTaWc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Called when our AC wasn’t working during the heat wave.
