A burst pipe in a basement, dealt with the same day — that August 2024 job is the shape of a lot of Izzy Plumbing & Heating's work. Customers write about Izzy by name, the owner turning up himself, on jobs running from a leaking garbage disposal to a sewer line replacement. The company's site lists plumbing repair, fixture installation, water heaters, heating repair and maintenance, boilers, furnaces and gas fittings. Water heaters and hot water tanks turn up in several of the Google reviews. In a March 2026 review, a homeowner whose boiler had filled with water describes him finding the problem and then installing a water heater and a sump pump, arriving on time and at a price the customer called reasonable. A July 2025 customer had a faulty hot water tank replaced and wrote that Izzy also noticed a damaged Gallon Hydronic Expansion Tank during the inspection and replaced that as well. In November 2025, another homeowner had a water heater, a sink and a shower faucet replaced and said the work went quickly. The renovation work is there too. A Somerville homeowner wrote in February 2025 about the plumbing for a bathroom renovation plus a new toe-kick heating unit and several smaller tasks; an August 2024 customer had him run the plumbing for two shower renovations, the second with a valve controlling a rain shower, a regular shower head and a wand. An October 2024 review covers a heating system job. Money comes up on its own in several reviews — one homeowner in December 2024 came to Izzy after what they called a completely unreasonable lump-sum quote from a much larger plumbing company. The one complaint is also the newest thing written about the company. In June 2026, a homeowner described a visit a little over two years earlier: their water heater wasn't igniting, and after a brief visual inspection they were told to replace the entire unit, with no troubleshooting attempted — not even a reset. For everyday household plumbing and heating — a failing water heater, new fixtures, the plumbing behind a bathroom renovation — this is a shop whose customers name the owner as the person doing the work. If your problem is a unit that won't fire, ask what he checked before agreeing to a replacement, and confirm what the quoted price covers in parts.
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!!!
