E.F. Winslow Plumbing & Heating

E.F. Winslow Plumbing & Heating works out of Yarmouth Port and covers Cape Cod, and the work customers describe runs across plumbing, heating, cooling, electrical and standby generators rather than one trade. The recurring theme in recent reviews is speed when something has gone wrong. One homeowner found a pipe leaking in the basement on a holiday weekend and had a technician there half an hour after the call. Another, writing in March 2026, described the crew fighting through the blizzard to find why a generator would not run. A third called at 4:45 pm on a freezing Saturday as a first-time customer and was still helped. Technicians are named again and again — Kevin, Rob, Charlie, Ryan, Patrick, Eric — usually for explaining the system and finishing the job in one visit. Its Massachusetts plumbing licence is registry-verified and active, held under E.F. Winslow Plumbing & Heating Co Inc, and the Better Business Bureau gives the business an A+ grade. The complaints are worth reading before signing. Two customers writing in February 2026 said generators the company installed failed during the blizzard — one for an 88-year-old relative left without heat and power — and another said a decade-long customer's mother waited on a Monday morning callback in 35-degree weather. A June 2026 reviewer said two appointments booked through the company's own website ended in no-shows with no communication. Money comes up too: a $200 bill for a visit the customer says fixed nothing, an unexplained $900 for two hours of work, and several otherwise-happy customers noting the emergency rate is steep. Good fit for a Cape Cod homeowner who wants one company for plumbing, heating, electrical and generator work and values getting somebody out fast. Confirm the price and the callout rate in writing before the visit, and if the job is a generator installation, ask specifically how they handle a failure during a storm.
