MacLellan Plumbing & Heating is a family-run Weymouth shop serving the South Shore — Weymouth, Braintree, Milton, Hingham and Quincy. Martin (Marty) MacLellan owns it; the BBB's profile puts the business's start at 1985, though the company's own site describes itself as in business 25-plus years — the two accounts of its founding don't match. Its record on file is thin, just five reviews spanning 2021 to 2025, but the earlier ones describe attentive, knowledgeable service. A 2023 review credits the team with diagnosing and fixing a leaking furnace efficiently. A 2022 review describes a same-day callback even when no appointment slot was open, with useful advice and referrals offered instead. And a 2021 review says Marty explained installation questions in detail. The most recent review, from August 2025, is a serious one: a customer says a leaking toilet tank was repaired three separate times — October 2024, May 2025, and again weeks later — with the leak returning each time, and nearly $450 paid for a problem still unresolved as of the review. Its BBB grade is A+, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. Given the toilet-repair account, it's worth asking directly about warranty terms and a clear resolution plan if a repair doesn't hold.
