Don Ranieri Plumbing & Heating handles plumbing and heating calls. A 2026 Google customer said Don showed up the next morning to look at a furnace that was making noise from the blower area, after others had suggested the motor or the ball bearings were going. In that 2026 review, Don thought it was more of an intake airflow issue and asked the customer to try a lower MERV rating than the 10 and 12 filters they had been using; the customer bought a MERV 6 filter and the noise went away. The same 2026 customer said Don had helped with HVAC, a water heater and general plumbing in the past and had never tried to upsell them. A 2025 Google customer selling an old house needed leaking shutoff valves and other plumbing issues fixed. That customer wrote that he was busy but made time to assess the job, agreed to do the work on Friday, and came earlier, on Wednesday, to shut off the water and replace what needed replacing. The 2025 customer called him reasonably priced and said he fixed a couple of things the inspector didn't report. In a 2021 Google review, a customer said Don came out within a day for boiler issues that had left them with no heat or hot water. Within two days, that 2021 customer wrote, he had diagnosed and replaced several parts that failed due to a corroded release valve, at a price below what they expected to pay. Donald Ranieri's Massachusetts plumber license, number 9038-PL-M, is active on the state registry. On Google the business has 4.1 stars from 9 ratings, and its Better Business Bureau page carries an A+ grade.
Don once again saved the day for me, with a quick response and by showing up the next morning to have a look at my furnace, which was starting to make some noise from the blower area. I had others suggesting that the motor or the ball bearings were going, all costly fixes (from listening to a recording of the sound). Don thought it was more of an intake airflow issue, and asked me to try dropping down the air filter MERV rating from the 10 and 12 which I had been using. I went out and bought a MERV 6 rating filter, which is fine for my needs and the condo. The noise went away. A quick visit and solid advice! He has always found time to come by quickly, and assess situations, clearly spelling out a plan and cost, and then does what he says. He never tries to upsell me on anything that is beyond what I need to solve my issue. I have to say, some of the other larger companies have done exactly that. He has helped me with HVAC, Water Heater, and general plumbing in the past, and I have never had any issues or surprises.
I was selling an old house and I need to fix a few plumbing issues, leaking shutoff valves and such. He was busy, but made time to come over and assess the situation with me. He agreed to do the work on Friday, but came earlier on Wednesday to shut off the water in the house and replace what needed to be replaces. He was reasonably priced, thorough, dependable, and definitely a problem solver. He was exactly what I needed to handle the old house. Great guy to talk to as well. He even fixed a couple of things the inspector didn't report.
Don came out within a day to address our boiler issues which left us with no heat or hot water. Within two days he had not only diagnosed but replaced several parts that had failed due to a corroded release valve. Don's price for the job was below what we were expecting to pay, especially considering the amount of work and parts needed--and the speediness of the repair. Nice guy, to boot!
