M&W Heating, Inc.

M&W Heating, Inc. is a mechanical contractor on Hubbard Avenue in Pittsfield, and it has been at it a long time: the Better Business Bureau records 71 years in business, with a start date of 1955 and incorporation as a Massachusetts corporation in 1959. The work skews commercial and institutional rather than residential. BuildZoom's profile shows 28 permitted projects — plumbing, gas, sheet-metal and HVAC jobs spread across Berkshire County — and BuildZoom and Procore describe the company through the same cluster of trades: mechanical work, sheet metal, HVAC and plumbing. A public bid-results page also lists M&W Heating among the bidders on municipal heating work, which fits a firm that competes for publicly bid jobs. Customer feedback is thin and dated. The one written review on file comes from November 2017, when a customer said the crew "performed work on our site and they performed well" and that they would hire them again. That is a real, first-hand account, but it is close to nine years old and it stands alone. Two things are worth confirming yourself before signing. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Plumbing Business licence (#2040) and a Massachusetts Sheet Metal Business licence for the company, both shown as active when that directory last checked — those are the directory's claims rather than a state registry check, so verify them with the Commonwealth. And the BBB profile carries no rating at all, which BBB attributes to not having enough information about the business rather than to anything the company did. M&W Heating is the sensible call if you have commercial or institutional heating, plumbing, gas or sheet-metal work in the Berkshires and want a firm with decades of permitted jobs behind it. Ask for recent references, since the publicly visible written feedback stops in 2017, and confirm the licences directly with the state before work starts.
