Horvitz Plumbing & Heating

Horvitz Plumbing & Heating says it has been serving the Boston area since 1932 and stays locally and family owned. The calls people bring them are the everyday kind — a faucet or toilet repair, a water heater or gas-fitting job, a heating system on the fritz — the sort of household plumbing and heating work nobody wants to sit with overnight. The last six months brought 15 Google reviews and not one of them negative, continuing a longer streak of 123 reviews collected since 2022 across five different sources. On Google alone, the profile carries a 5.0 average from 140 ratings. The same few names keep showing up in the write-ups — Nate handles a lot of the plumbing calls, Michael turns up for heating and installation jobs — and the same details repeat: the problem gets diagnosed and explained on the spot, the appointment often lands the same or next business day, and the crew leaves the work area clean. One review names Jeff as the owner and credits office staffer Odette for scheduling. In the past few months, customers describe a Navien Combi boiler error fixed on the spot, a gas washer/dryer laundry hookup where the technician stayed afterward to walk through everything he'd done, and a bathroom faucet swap that came with a few pointers on top of the repair itself. One gap worth knowing: the company isn't BBB accredited and carries no BBB rating. Review counts also drift depending on where you look — other directories put the same Google profile anywhere from about 132 to 140 ratings — though they all land on the same 5.0 average, more a sign of inconsistent snapshots than any real disagreement. For plumbing and heating repairs in the Boston area — water heaters, boilers, faucets, gas fitting — the state confirms an active Massachusetts plumbing license, and the last six months of reviews back up the decades of history. Worth asking when you call: which technician is available, since a handful of names account for most of the recent praise.
