Provost Plumbing is a plumbing and heating company based in Concord, MA. In a 2026 Google review, a customer said their HVAC company had been unable to fix a 9-year-old boiler and shut the heat off, and Russell was at the house later the same day they called Provost for a second opinion. That 2026 customer said Russell started with a thorough cleaning and checking the gas settings, and had the boiler and heat back up and running after only a few hours. A recent Google customer said the company made a house call on a holiday weekend. The company's own site says it was founded in 1960 by Leonard R. Provost and his wife and has continued as a family operation, with Delfina Nellie Provost as company president. The site also says it is certified in carbon monoxide testing and repair. Its MA plumber license 4745-PL-C, in the name of Provost Plumbing Heating & Cooling Inc., is expired on the state registry. HomeAdvisor shows 4.8 stars from 137 ratings and lists the company in Dedham, MA; Google shows 5 stars from 8 ratings. A 2025 Google customer said Bill replaced the bathroom and kitchen faucets and worked quickly and cleanly. In a 2025 review, a customer said Russ arrived on time and walked them through the problem and the solution for a heating system issue. A 2025 customer said William was willing to walk them through everything and called the pricing very fair. In a 2022 HomeAdvisor review, a customer said a leaky gas water heater past its expected lifetime was replaced rather than repaired, and that the tank had zero issues one and a half years later. A 2020 HomeAdvisor customer said Mike gave advice about a low-disruption, cost-effective solution and got the work done quickly. In a 2018 HomeAdvisor review, a customer whose bathroom tub would not drain after several services failed to fix it said the job was about replacing parts of a 90-year-old cast iron pipe, and that Russ called ahead with arrival updates. In a 2018 review about a steam heating system, a customer said Mike replaced a broken water level sight glass on the furnace and 2 radiator float valves, balanced the system, and fixed the problem in one visit for less than his estimated price. In a 2017 HomeAdvisor review, a customer said the price was very high and the technician tried to charge a consultation fee, which the office confirmed was an error. That 2017 customer also said they were very uncomfortable with the company's preferential pricing for customers enrolled in its plans.
Made a house call on a holiday weekend and saved me four days of grief. Friendly, quick service. Highly recommended!
Russell from Provost was incredible and extremely knowledgeable. My HVAC company had been unable to fix my 9-year-old boiler and ultimately shut my heat off. The next morning, I called Provost for a second opinion, and Russell was at my house later that same day. He took the time to walk me through how my boiler works, explain why he disagreed with the previous technician’s assessment, and outline the steps he wanted to try before recommending a replacement. I really appreciated that he focused on practical solutions first—starting with a thorough cleaning, checking the gas settings and troubleshooting other possible causes to try resolving first. After only a few hours, he had my boiler(and heat) back up and running. I’m very grateful for his expertise, honesty, and willingness to take the time to fix the problem rather than immediately jumping to the most costly option. Highly recommend!
Truly a great experience. Best team in the greater Boston area!
William is the man! Very knowledgeable and willing to walk you through everything. Very fair pricing.
Russ is great, he arrived on time and was extremely helpful. He is very knowledgeable, walking me through the problem and the solution for my heating system issue.
