FIX IT WITH NAKO

FIX IT WITH NAKO is a Peabody, MA outfit built around one job: getting a home's oil heat back on, often within the hour. Across 86 Google ratings averaging 4.9 stars and 66 written reviews from 2021 to 2026, the same story repeats — a furnace or boiler quits on the coldest night of the year, and the shop's owner, Nako, shows up the same day to fix it. The company describes itself as a family-owned oil-heating specialist that has served the East Boston area and surrounding communities for almost 35 years, run by Nako himself as a master technician with more than 30 years in the trade. Reviewers back that up with specifics rather than generic praise: in a recent review, a customer describes him handling an emergency oil tank replacement mid-storm, pulling permits and ordering materials the same day; in a February 2026 review, another says he diagnosed and fixed a furnace problem that a previous technician had spent a month failing to solve. Several reviewers, including some referred by their own oil-delivery company, say what stands out is that he explains what's wrong and how to prevent it rather than just swapping parts. The work isn't limited to heating — a 2024 review describes him tracing a newly installed kitchen faucet's pressure problem to a bad valve. Two reviews break the pattern. A March 2026 review describes a two-and-a-half-week wait for an appointment and a dismissive response to a photo sent ahead of the visit. A February 2025 review says a repair wasn't finished correctly and that Nako declined to come back and fix it after being paid, leaving a panel cover off. Both are worth asking about directly, especially for anything beyond a routine tune-up. For a homeowner with a dead oil burner or a boiler that won't fire — especially outside business hours — this is a company reviewers keep coming back to and recommending. Confirm the job's scope and timeline up front; the two negative reviews both center on communication rather than the underlying repair.
