McDonnell Plumbing & Heating is a family plumbing and heating company in Needham. It handles repairs, installations, gas work, water heaters, and kitchen and bathroom projects for homes and businesses around Boston and MetroWest. According to its site, Frank McDonnell founded it in 1984 and trained his daughter, Kate Tynan, in the business. A March 2017 Wicked Local item said Tynan, as business manager, had been named to the board of the Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors of Massachusetts. In March 2022, ACHR News reported she received an association award for contributions to the association, the industry and the community. In a September 2023 Google review, a customer said the company found that a clogged toilet was also leaking. That customer called the service a little expensive but said they would probably use the company again. An October 2023 reviewer said they had used it several times and found the work thorough. It holds 4.3 stars from 11 Google ratings, and BBB grades it A+.
