A 2026 customer said Matthew Bright suggested a heat pump after being told the price to remove the asbestos around the furnace would be very high, and that Mr. Bright and his associate were at the house for 8 and a half hours putting in the heat pumps. That 2026 customer said they also put in a new doorknob at no charge. A 2025 customer wrote that Matt and his team were thorough and efficient replacing a boiler more than 70 years old along with two very old oil tanks. In a 2025 review, a customer said Matt cleaned a furnace he had installed in 2024, recommended replacing a 47-year-old oil tank that could rupture, and replaced it with a new tank that takes up less room. That 2025 customer also said Matt had removed the old furnace and installed a new one in 8 hours, on an estimate $3000 - $5000 below his competitors. A 2024 customer called Matt for an emergency when an oil boiler stopped heating the first-floor unit, a doctors office, and said he was there within 10 minutes and got them up and running again. That 2024 customer said he advised having an energy tech come out for insulation and sealing before replacing the boiler, replaced a couple of parts, and that the bill was fair for the parts and labor. A 2022 customer said Matt was there within 45 minutes of the call on Christmas Eve, diagnosed and repaired the issue, and explained what went wrong. A 2022 customer wrote that Bright was scheduled within the week for a cleaning and thermostat replacement, reconfigured the pipes to give more space in the basement, and showed what was done and why. That 2022 customer said Matthew came within two hours a month later, when the furnace acted up after a pipe leaked water on it, and took less than 45 minutes to fix it. A 2022 customer said the company put in a new furnace and a new oil tank, did chimney work, and removed all the old items when the job was completed. A 2022 customer complained that the person who answered the phone had an attitude and acted like he didn't know why anyone would call him about fixing a furnace.
Excellent service. Very knowledgeable, quick services, and very polite.
The only reason I'm leaving a 5 star review is because I can't leave a 6 star review. I don't know what I would have done without Matthew Bright. I got a loan to pay for a new furnace, but I was told there was a lot of asbestos in my cellar around my furnace and the price to have the asbestos removed would be very high. I thought I would have to continue living in my bathroom with a space heater, but luckily Mr. Bright suggested a heat pump. Mr. Bright and his associate we're at my house for 8 and a half hours putting in my heat pumps, they even put a new doorknob for me at no charge! I'm so grateful I found Matthew Bright.
We had a 70+ year old boiler to replace with two very old oil tanks. As you can imagine, this was quite a large job. As I work from home, I witnessed how thorough and efficient Matt and his team was getting each task done. Now we have quite the upgrade to last us many years to come. We highly recommend Matt!
Update! Recently, Matt cleaned my new furnace he installed in 2024. He recommended replacing my 47 year old oil tank! He made me aware that the tank could rupture, leading to a real bad oil leak. This would have been very expensive, plus the EPA, would be involved! Yesterday, he replaced it with a new updated tank which takes up less room! The oil tank was filled today and the oil guy was impressed! I’m very happy with his work! This was an earlier review when he replaced my 46 year old furnace: Contacted Matt Bright for an estimate within an hour he showed up. He gave me an estimate that was $3000 - $5000 below his competitors! He removed my 47 year old furnace and installed a new one in 8 hours! The furnace works great. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and timely! I highly recommend him for any heating job!
Very professional and ethical!!!
