Dynamic Plumbing Heating & Gas Fitting is a Somerville plumbing shop homeowners called for the middle-of-the-night stuff — a water heater leaking into the basement on a Saturday morning, a toilet that wouldn't stop running, a furnace that needed replacing before winter. Angel runs the company, with Kumar doing plumbing work alongside him and an office manager named Virginia, according to its Angi profile. The written reviews, largely from 2013 to 2020, describe Angel showing up within hours of a call: one homeowner had a water heater start leaking on a Friday night and had Angel out the next morning tracing it past a bad relief valve to the tank itself. Others describe a full tankless water heater swap with new gas lines and a new exhaust run through the foundation, and a furnace installation a customer called knowledgeable and responsive. Across Angi and HomeAdvisor, the company holds a 4.8 average from 31 ratings, 87% five-star. A few accounts are worth knowing before calling. One 2014 customer said a promised 25% Angie's List discount never came through. Another that year said two toilets Angel had adjusted developed the same problem again shortly after, with a full toilet replacement floated as one possible fix. A third said a follow-up quote for additional work was never sent. Nothing in the written record is newer than January 2020, so it's worth asking whether Angel is still taking the same kind of emergency plumbing calls today. For a leaking water heater or a repair that can't wait, the years of specific, positive accounts from people who hired him carry real weight — just get any promised discount or follow-up quote in writing before he starts.
Angel responded to my call almost immediately. He stopped by that afternoon to assess the job and gave me a quote later that day. He was able to schedule the work within several days after that. While he was here, I asked him to take a look at the toilet, which was not flusing properly. He was able to order a replacement flush handle from the manufacturer at no cost and once it arrived, he came back and installed it for no additional charge. All in all, a very good experience. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again for any plumbing or heating issue and recommend him highly.
Late Friday night, we realized there was water in the basement due to the water heater. At the time, it looked like the relief valve. So I called Angel Saturday morning, and he agreed to come right over and take a look. Once he arrived, he realized it wasn't just the relief valve, and the heater would need to be replaced. He then devoted the rest of the afternoon to obtaining a heater for me and doing the replacement. He was careful, professional, and very safety conscious.
I'd been meaning to find a quality plumber more local to me than the one I'd been using and kept putting it off. Disaster struck yesterday when our hot water heater decided to start leaking water everywhere so in a hurry I decided to focus on "local" and not worry on "quality". Luckily I got both, and fast to boot! I've seen friends of mine go through hot water replacement and it always winds up being a multi-day affair, in this case I had someone at my house less than an hour after I called and by the end of the day we were good to go. Angel pointed out a handful of things surrounding our old heater which also needed improvement, not surprising considering our house predates indoor plumbing and things have just been grafted in here and there over the decades. He even pointed out some electrical work that he recommended we look into having done, again not surprising but it was another sign that he cared about quality and is looking out for his customers. I couldn't have been happier with the whole process and am pleased that I've managed to find a quality, local plumber after all.
Angel was professional from start to finish and did a great job with my tankless hot water heater installation. They removed the old water heater, ran new gas lines and installed a new exhaust through my concrete foundation. Instead of just hammering at my foundation to get the new exhaust in, they used a special drill which did the job cleanly with minimal disturbance to the foundation. Everything was done on time and on budget and there were no surprises. Angel even provided me with the paperwork for my tax rebate. I will certainly use them again.
He is a very nice guys. He is smart, competent, resonable, and professional. He has a real grasp of how to install a furnance. He's a top notch guy. He is extrememely responsive.
