Boston Budget Plumbing, Heating and Cooling is a family-owned plumbing, heating, and air conditioning contractor based in Quincy, Massachusetts, owned by three partners — Tom, Maribel and Daniel — serving Greater Boston and the South Shore for 15-plus years. Reviews from 2015 through 2026 describe a wide range of work: water heater installations and repairs, boiler and furnace service, central air and heat pump installations, drain and leak repairs, and fixture replacements. Customers repeatedly name specific technicians — among them Tom, Parisse, Mike, Ed, Connor, Billy and Huan — for arriving promptly, explaining the work clearly, and cleaning up after the job. One 2026 review describes a technician catching a boiler configuration problem that earlier companies had missed while he was there for an unrelated repair. The company's plumbing licence (15237-PL-M) and an HVAC/sheet-metal licence are both confirmed active by the Massachusetts state registry. BBB separately lists a second plumbing licence number for the business. A few things are worth asking about before booking. A recurring theme across several 1-star reviews from 2019 through 2026 describes unexpected price increases, particularly when work was booked during an urgent or emergency call — this isn't an isolated complaint but a pattern worth discussing upfront, ideally getting a firm quote before work begins. Two older reviews, from 2019 and 2020, separately described unprofessional attitude and poor service; both predate the last five years of reviews on file. With 459 reviews on file since 2015 and a 4.7-4.8 star Google average from hundreds of ratings, this is a long-running, well-reviewed plumbing and HVAC contractor for Greater Boston and the South Shore, where confirming pricing upfront — especially for urgent calls — is reasonable advice.

Fairly priced, professional staff. Highly recommend.
Do not trust this company. In my experience, they do not work in the best interest of their customers. Instead, they seem to take advantage of urgent situations and every opportunity to increase prices and add excessive charges. When you urgently need a problem fixed, you should be able to trust the company you hire. Unfortunately, I felt this company used the urgency of the situation to justify unreasonable charges. I will never use this company again, and I strongly do not recommend them to anyone. I also believe the Better Business Bureau should take a closer look at their pricing and charging practices.
Connor and Justin did a fantastic job! They were on time and spent 5 hours with us. They installed new bathroom faucets in both of our bathrooms. And the big project was installing a new shower control in my bathroom. It involved making a removable panel, moving our dryer, etc and wasn't easy. They had a great attitude and never complained.
I wish I could give Boston Budget Plumbers 500 stars! We’ve worked with them for both our commercial and residential properties, and they have been absolutely outstanding every single time. They are incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We’ve had everything from straightforward jobs to more complicated plumbing issues, and we’ve always felt completely confident that we were in excellent hands. A very special shoutout to Chris, Devon, Ed, Kingsley, Justin, Manny, Billy, and Tim! Every one of you has been fantastic, and we are so grateful for the care, expertise, and professionalism you’ve shown us. And Chris’s humor is always a bonus! Thank you, Boston Budget Plumbers, for everything you’ve done for us over the years. You have absolutely earned our trust, and we never hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional plumbing company. If we could give you 500 stars, we would! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The service was excellent - the company was very responsive in receiving my call and sent a plumber out the next day! Patrick was clear in explaining what was done incorrectly when the original builder installed our jacuzzi tub. Patrick did the work efficiently and cleaned up the work area before he left. Very great experience
