## The honest read

Dick Wages Plumbing & Heating holds a 3.7-star Google rating from 14 ratings.

A 2024 Google customer praised it for fast emergency service, said it had been around since the sixties, called it friendly and fairly priced, and said they paid using its military discount. In a 2020 BuildZoom review, a customer with a leaky boiler and no heat or hot water said the company found a boiler that would work and installed it on a weekend.

A 2022 Google customer said no one showed up for an 11am appointment at their rental property; they waited until 1pm, calls went unanswered, the mailbox was full and no one called them. A 2023 Google reviewer wrote "This business doesn't exist anymore."

Its Connecticut HVAC licence, HTG.0308565-S7, is active under Gary R Thresher.

**Strengths:**
- Weekend boiler install — a 2020 customer said a boiler went in on a weekend
- Fast emergency service — a 2024 customer praised its emergency response

**Concerns:**
- Missed appointment — a 2022 customer said no one showed or called
- Business status — a 2023 reviewer wrote the business no longer existed

**Where sources disagree:**
- A 2023 Google reviewer wrote that the business no longer existed, while a 2024 Google customer described using its emergency service.
