KNC Mechanical is a Braintree mechanical contractor that describes itself as a family-owned business specializing in plumbing, HVAC and boiler systems for commercial, multi-residential and industrial buildings, with 24/7 emergency service. The company says it has more than 70 years in the trade. A 2014 High-Profile article described it completing plumbing and HVAC renovations at Chapman Arms, a 50-unit historic apartment building in Harvard Square, including replacing the boiler room. The Massachusetts plumbing licence 2972-PL-C held by KNC Mechanical Inc shows as expired on the state registry. Its BBB grade is A+. Google shows 2.6 stars from 5 ratings. A May 2023 reviewer called the workers rude and aggressive, and a September 2021 reviewer said one of its drivers ran three stop signs in Framingham and nearly hit them; an August 2022 review was positive about staying warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from KNC Mechanical. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

“KNC Mechanical, headquartered in Braintree, recently completed plumbing and HVAC renovations at Chapman Arms, a historic 50-unit apartment building located in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge. KNC replaced the boiler room and 120 Whelan units, and assisted in renovating the 50 bathrooms and 50 kitchens. All the work was done while the building was fully occupied allowing the residents to remain home during construction.”
These workers are incredible rude, aggressive, and need to be fired for the good of the community.
The experience that you get with KNC will be a memory reminding you that when it is cold you will be warm and when it is hot you will be cool.
Reckless dangerous drivers throughout the streets of Framingham. This guy blew through 3 stop signs and almost hit me
