Izzy Plumbing & Heating is a Massachusetts plumbing and heating outfit built around one name: reviewers call the owner by his first name, Izzy, and describe him doing the work himself, from replacing sewer lines to installing water heaters and untangling a 1969 home's original plumbing. The company's own site lists plumbing repair, fixture installation, water heaters, boilers, furnaces, and gas fittings among what it does. The track record is deep for a business its size — 19 Google reviews between 2024 and 2026, all but one of them five stars. Recurring specifics do a lot of the work here: a burst basement pipe fixed the same day at a reasonable price (in a 2024 review), a sewer line replacement described as professional and clearly explained (2024), a complicated valve controlling a rain shower, regular shower head, and hand wand installed alongside a simpler bathtub fixture in the same visit (2024), and a damaged expansion tank caught and replaced during a routine hot water tank swap (2025). Several reviewers say they've used the company more than once, and one describes hiring Izzy on numerous projects over time. Communication comes up again and again — reviewers in 2025 and 2026 mention prompt text replies, being kept informed step by step, and being told in advance when a technician would arrive. In a March 2026 review, a boiler filled with water was diagnosed quickly and fixed along with a new water heater and sump pump, on time and at a price the customer called reasonable. One thing worth asking about: a June 2026 review describes an incident from roughly two years earlier where the company examined a water heater that wouldn't ignite, concluded after only a brief visual inspection that the whole unit needed replacing, and didn't attempt basic troubleshooting like a reset — the reviewer says he later fixed it himself after some research. For plumbing and heating work around Somerville and the North Shore, the evidence points to a small, hands-on operation where the same person tends to show up and see a job through — worth asking directly what a diagnosis involves before authorizing a bigger repair, given the one account where that step seems to have been skipped.
I had this company come out a little over two years ago because my water heater wasn’t igniting. After only a brief visual inspection, they told me I needed to replace the entire unit. They did not attempt any troubleshooting, including something as basic as trying to reset it. After they left, I did my own research, watched a few videos, and learned how to relight/reset the water heater myself. It started working again with no major issues. While the ignition has occasionally gone out during extremely cold and windy winter days, I’ve been able to reset it easily each time. More than two years later, the same water heater is still working. Based on my experience, I was disappointed that replacement was recommended so quickly without any meaningful effort to diagnose or fix the problem first. I expected a more thorough assessment before being told such an expensive repair was necessary.
Izzy is very professional and responsive. When my boiler was filled with water, he quickly identified the issue and provided helpful suggestions. He installed a water heater and a sump pump for me—the price was reasonable, he arrived on time, and the work was done very well. I highly recommend him.
I had an excellent experience with Izzy Plumbing & Heating. They replaced my water heater, sink, and shower faucet, and everything was completed quickly and professionally. The quality of work was outstanding, and they took the time to explain each step of the process. The plumber was punctual, respectful, and left the area spotless after finishing. I’m very satisfied with the results and will definitely use their services again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and skilled plumbing work!
Izzy came to my home to replace a faulty hot water tank and did an outstanding job. He was professional, quick, and extremely knowledgeable. During the inspection, he also noticed that the Gallon Hydronic Expansion Tank was damaged and took care of replacing that as well. On top of the repairs, Izzy gave me valuable guidance and honest feedback about my heating system, explaining how everything should function properly. I really appreciated his thoroughness and the pride he takes in his work. Highly recommend Izzy for any plumbing or heating issues – top-notch service!
I hired Izzy Plumbing to repair my bathroom, and I couldn’t be happier. They were prompt, professional, and did excellent work. He explained everything clearly. It’s great to find a plumber you can trust! Thank you!!!
