Local Plumbing & Heating is an Arlington plumbing and heating contractor, and a recent Google customer said Andrew replaced their water heater and sump pump piping, installed a new water spigot, and passed both gas and plumbing inspections. The company describes itself as serving Greater Boston and the North Shore of Massachusetts, with plumbing, heating, drain cleaning, water heater and kitchen and bathroom renovation services. In a 2026 review, a customer said Andrew rerouted a section of a forced hot water heating loop to fix a leak under the floor without digging up the concrete, added a pump to split two floors into separate zones, and replaced an expansion tank. A 2026 reviewer said the cat woke them to a leaking hot water heater on the morning of New Year's Eve, and after a recommendation from their local hardware guy they had a new heater delivered and installed that afternoon. A 2026 customer whose thermostat would not turn off the boiler said Andrew came by on a Sunday to troubleshoot, and the work needed a follow-up visit for a part replacement. A 2025 customer said Andrew replaced a shower valve and stripped hot and cold faucets by removing the stove and going in through the kitchen wall, then put the stove back without removing the tiles. When bathroom water was backing up into a kitchen sink, a 2025 customer said Andrew was at the house within 20 minutes and referred them to a drain specialist. A 2025 first-time homeowner replacing a half bath sink said there was more going on behind the wall than first assumed, and that Andrew was transparent about the change order. Its Massachusetts plumber license, 9630150-PL-C, is active on the state registry. Google shows 5 stars from 49 ratings. In a 2022 review, a customer said Andy replumbed their entire house from 1920, replacing the main drain and all the pipes with PEX-A tubing and installing a Bosch tankless water heater.
Team was very professional. solved the issue under the sink and water main, while explaining everything clearly.
Andrew is absolutely wonderful. He is a journeyman plumber and I hired him for replacing a water heater, sump pump piping and installing a new water spigot and replaced an old one. He got everything one within a few hours and passed both gas and plumbing inspections. He is very experienced plumber and very kind and responsive. His price is fair and his work is excellent. He goes above and beyond help his customer. I will definitely go back to him for any future plumbing needs and recommend him to my friends and family
Great fast and friendly service
Andrew was thorough, efficient and very skilled. He clearly described my options and the process prior to executing the job. When completing the job he provided complete explanation of the job and education with video on how to change specific filter.
Andrew rerouted a section of my forced hot water heating loop to fix a leak under the floor without digging up the concrete, added a pump to split two floors into separate zones, and replaced an expansion tank. It was very reasonably priced and he explained everything well and fully took my needs into account. Would highly recommend!
