BBB identifies it as a Worcester plumbing and HVAC corporation with an A+ rating and BBB accreditation. One customer said their water heater died and was leaking all over the floor, and Rocky responded fast with a quote built from photos and text messages: a State brand 50-gallon power-vented natural gas water heater plus the vent pipe needed to bring it up to code. That customer said the heater was delivered the next morning, they showed up at 8:30am, were done and gone in 2.5 hours, and the price was reasonable. One customer said Rocky worked to find the right solution for a toilet replacement and that his employee, Rodney, was very polite and got the job done. A 2026 customer said a large heating and boiler system was replaced, including complicated plumbing, mixing valves and radiant heating, and that the family was kept informed every step of the way.

A 2025 customer said Rocky got on FaceTime to troubleshoot a broken boiler and got the hot water back on. A 2025 customer said the company installed a new boiler and added heating in other rooms. A 2024 customer said Rodney installed an electric heat pump system and answered all of their questions. On Google it holds 4.5 stars from 49 ratings, and Porch shows 4.6 stars from 79 ratings.

Always happy working with Fresolo. Rocky tries very hard to accommodate your needs. Had a toilet replaced but had certain concerns about what might be best and he worked to find the right solution. His employee, Rodney, was very polite and got the job done.
These guys are really good. Our HW Heater "died" and was leaking all over the floor. Rocky responded really fast, gave me a quote for a water heater replacement from photo's and text messages. The quote included everything I needed to see. They included a State brand 50 Gallon Power Vented Natural Gas water heater, and the vent pipe needed to bring it up to code. They were fast and responsive. The WH was delivered the next morning, guys showed up at 8:30am. A younger guy probably late 20's was very confident, and knew what he was doing. They were done and gone in 2.5 hours. Their price is reasonable. I did get a quote from another company that was overpriced and really tried to stick it to us. These guys are trustworthy and I will use them again.
R. Fresolo was exceptional!!! We had a rather large heating/boiler systems replaced including complicated plumbing, mixing valves, radiant heating and a whole host of other modifications. It was clear throughout that the team of guys are extremely experienced plumbing and heating professional tradesmen hands down!!. From day 1 and throughout the entire job they kept us informed every step of the way. They made sure our household was minimally interrupted. The guys checked in continuously with everyone in our family making sure everyone was comfortable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone for large or small jobs! By far the most positive and professional experience!
Prompt, professional, thorough and knowledgeable. They have saved my skin more than once.
Can’t say enough about Rocky - absolutely fantastic. My boiler was broken and though he wasn’t able to get to my house he stepped away to get on face time with me -to troubleshoot and assist. He got my hot water back on and I can’t thank you enough!
