Martel Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

A customer left without water says Martel Plumbing & Heating fit them in the same day and fixed the problem. That August 2026 Google review is one example of the plumbing and heating calls this Dover company handles. Martel says it installs and services plumbing, heating, gas and air conditioning systems for residential and commercial customers on the New Hampshire and Maine Seacoast. The company traces its start to 1968, when Paul and Kay Martel ran a one-man operation from their kitchen table. Its website describes three generations of family ownership and says Paul handed the business to their four children in 1990. It names Ed Robidas as President/General Manager and Lynda Robidas and Kristine Chagnon as owners. Heating and cooling customers describe both repairs and replacements. In a February 2026 Google review, a customer said Zach, Colin, Alan and Travis arrived the day their furnace failed, diagnosed the trouble and fixed it before a cold snap hit. A December 2025 reviewer described repeated heating-system service and a newly installed heating and cooling system, praising communication and fair pricing. A June 2024 reviewer said an air-conditioning repair took 15 minutes after the dispatcher arranged a team visit. The plumbing accounts include work inside older homes. In January 2023, a customer described Todd and Chris installing a sink and faucet and replacing a clogged cast-iron pipe more than 40 years old. An April 2023 reviewer said plumbing was rerouted for a stackable washer and dryer, with the bill coming in under the estimate. In November 2021, a customer who used Martel at multiple Dover properties described a bathtub leak: the plumber explained the options before making a small, clean opening to reach and repair the plumbing. Google gives Martel 4.7 stars from 57 ratings, and its BBB profile is A+ and accredited. Edward P Robidas holds active New Hampshire plumber and HVAC licences. Martel also identifies itself as a Mitsubishi Electric Preferred Diamond Contractor. In a December 2021 Google review, a homeowner described a mini-split installation whose final bill matched the estimate, with clear communication before, during and after the work.
