In A Flash Heating and Plumbing

In A Flash Heating and Plumbing is a small Medford crew — Ryan and Ronnie (also called Ron or Ronald) at the center of it — built around plumbing and home heating together: boilers, steam radiators, water heaters, and the everyday leaks and clogs in between. The company's Massachusetts plumber license is verified active with the state, and it has racked up more than 80 five-star Google reviews since 2023. The recent record reads like a highlight reel of quick, well-explained fixes: a gas line run for a new stove finished within a day, with the crew coming back after inspection to hook up the stove itself; a garbage disposal leak diagnosed from photos and fixed on schedule around a broken seal; a rusted-out hot water tank replaced the same day it was called in; an automatic water feeder installed for a boiler after Ryan walked through the maintenance-versus-installation pricing breakdown before any work started. One longtime Somerville resident, having used several plumbers over the years, called this crew the best of them — professional, thorough, and reasonably priced. The company's real specialty shows in the bigger, older jobs too. In a 2025 review, a customer whose boiler failed described it being fully replaced — old unit out, new one in, tested and running — with steady communication throughout. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described Ronnie's team re-plumbing an entire two-family house, adding two tankless water heaters, and fitting a half bathroom into a spot other plumbers had called too difficult to access. A theme recurs across two years of reviews, both older and current: technicians who diagnose the actual problem and skip work that isn't needed, explaining pricing before touching anything rather than padding the job. It shows up often enough, from different customers on different jobs, to read as how the company operates rather than a one-off. There isn't much to flag before calling — the written record across three years and dozens of jobs doesn't surface a single complaint. Worth knowing going in: this is a small, name-recognized crew rather than a large outfit, so for anything beyond a routine fix it's worth confirming scheduling directly. For an old boiler, a steam system, or a plumbing job anywhere from Medford to Somerville, the record here is about as strong as they come.
