# Kalinowski Mechanical Ltd **Trade:** HVAC / Heating & Cooling · **Phone:** (508) 430-4374 · **Website:** https://www.kalinowskimechanical.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.4/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 4 sources. ## The honest read Kalinowski Mechanical Ltd. is a family-owned plumbing and HVAC company serving Cape Cod from Harwich. Its website says Brian and Melissa Kalinowski own and manage the business, which has served the Cape since 2010 and handles residential and commercial plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and related installations. Customers describe both plumbing and heating work. In a 2023 review, one customer praised professional, experienced plumbers while describing a successful salon plumbing project; another 2023 review gave a detailed one-star account of a basement heating-zone installation that never heated properly and led the homeowner to consider additional split units. A shorter 2022 review called the service competent and good. The three available Google reviews span 2022–2023, so they provide useful but limited history rather than a current picture. Before booking, ask for the proposed heating design, pipe sizing, commissioning checks, and how any performance issue will be handled; those questions are prompted by the detailed 2023 complaint, not by a general assumption. The BBB profile matches the company in South Chatham/Harwich, reports 16 years in business and an A+ grade, and says it is not accredited. Kalinowski is a reasonable fit for Cape Cod plumbing or HVAC work, with the estimate and heating specifications worth confirming in writing. **Strengths:** - Plumbing work — one reviewer praised professional, experienced technicians - Family operation — owners identify as a husband-and-wife team - Cape Cod service — company states it has served the area since 2010 **Concerns:** - Heating performance — one 2023 review reported a basement zone never heated properly - Project specifications — confirm pipe sizing and commissioning before work begins ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company says it is family-owned, Cape Cod-local, and serving the area since 2010. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.kalinowskimechanical.com) — “Kalinowski Mechanical Ltd. is a family-owned Cape Cod plumbing and HVAC company serving residential and commercial customers with repairs, m…” - [Official Website](https://www.kalinowskimechanical.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Serving Cape Cod since 2010.” - [Official Website](https://www.kalinowskimechanical.com) — “Stated ownership (self-reported): Family-owned” - Brian and Melissa Kalinowski own and manage the business. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.kalinowskimechanical.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owned and managed by husband-and-wife team Brian and Melissa Kalinowski.” - A 2023 reviewer praised professional, experienced plumbers on a salon plumbing project. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNsaE8tdzBBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xb47634ab392150!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIClhO-w0AE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Plumbers were professional, experienced, knowledgeable and skilled.
