Gauthier's Plumbing & Heating is listed at 18 River St in Millbury and has a long Worcester-area operating history: BBB reports the business started in 1976, is BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and offers plumbing, heating, air conditioning, water-heater, boiler, and pipe-fitting services. The nine Google reviews from 2023 through 2026 are mixed. Customers praise radiator troubleshooting, tankless water-heater installation, sewer-line repair, emergency heating response, estimates, clean work, and technicians who explain systems clearly. Several older reviews describe same-day or next-day service and reasonable pricing. There are also serious complaints. A February 2026 reviewer reports a confirmed appointment followed by a no-show and no follow-up. An April 2025 review alleges an unauthorized lower-priced furnace substitution and incorrect installation, while a December 2023 reviewer says the company failed to return calls during five days without heat. These accounts should be discussed directly before booking heating or furnace work. Gauthier may fit customers seeking established plumbing and heating services, but the mixed recent record makes written scope, equipment model, scheduling commitments, license documentation, and warranty or complaint procedures especially important to confirm.
Called and made a confirmed appointment. No call no show for the appointment and ghosted us after when we tried to figure out what happened. Went with a better company.
Excellent job! Easy to work with, great communications, very thorough and detail oriented.
I am writing to issue a consumer alert regarding a recent experience with a furnace installation company. I strongly advise against using this company due to dishonest practices, poor customer service, and inadequate communication. We contracted with this company to install a specific furnace model in our new home. However, without our consent or notification, they installed a completely different and lower-priced system. In addition to this deceptive practice, the installation was performed incorrectly. Despite clear instructions to the company's employees that the furnace should be placed with the other utilities at one end of the house, they installed it at the opposite end. When confronted, the owner claimed they were unaware of our plans to finish the basement. As a resolution, we requested a refund for the price difference between the furnace we ordered and the one they installed. The owner also provided a partial discount on the remaining balance to compensate for the additional expenses we now face. These expenses include either relocating the entire furnace to the correct location or constructing a wall to conceal the system, which will result in a portion of our basement being closed off. I hope this information helps other consumers avoid similar negative experiences. Sincerely, Lee
My daughter and I met with superb Gauthier technicians, Norman and Mark, in April. They might as well have been wearing superhero capes as they solved a serious problem regarding a leaking radiator in a recently purchased home built in 1941. We were fortunate that Gauthier had serviced this home with a previous owner and they were familiar with the system. What impressed us (in addition to expert experience and problem solving) was that we were educated how to adjust the radiators to assure that they work appropriately in the future and avoid additional problems. This is great customer service and builds a wonderful relationship and trust moving forward. We also felt that the cost was fair. Highly recommend Gauthier. Thank you, Greg, for having a great team and arranging a prompt appt. for us.
Excellent service and a fair price. Came out on a Saturday morning to take care of a heating emergency. Highly recommended. I won't use anyone else.
