Heatech Inc

Heatech Inc is a heating and mechanical shop whose real specialty shows up in its permits: ductless mini-splits, high-velocity cooling and the sheet-metal ductwork that goes with them, plus boiler swaps and gas piping. Seventy-seven permitted projects sit on file, seven of them in the last three years, with the work concentrated in Brookline, Belmont, Malden, Danvers and Boston and a typical permit value around $8,500. Plumbing appears alongside it rather than instead of it — shower valves and faucets, water piping for a new boiler — which fits a company that lists itself under both HVAC and plumbing. Where it actually sits is less settled than you would expect. BuildZoom files the company at 116 Essex St in Melrose on a 781-665 number; Procore lists it at 2 Debush Ave in Middleton on a different 781-665 number. Ownership is similarly split across the records: the licences are attributed to Marc G Russell, while Michael Fitzemeyer also appears among the owners. No homeowner has written about the work on any source, so there is nothing here about how the jobs went, and no rating is published. Two things to raise before hiring. A U.S. Department of Labor page concerns the Heatech Inc. Retirement Plan, set up in January 2002 for employees of the Melrose company — an employee-benefits matter rather than a customer complaint, and nothing in it speaks to the quality of the work. Separately, the licence picture is mixed: a construction supervisor licence and a sheet metal licence show as verified active, but the home improvement contractor registration and a master pipefitter licence are shown cancelled, and one number appears as both an active sheet metal licence and a cancelled electrician record. For a mini-split or a boiler on the North Shore or in Boston's inner suburbs they have the permit history to back the trade. Ask which address and entity you are contracting with, and confirm the current plumbing and supervisor licences with the state before work starts.
