A 2022 Google reviewer wrote that RJ Welch Plumbing and Heating had come to their rescue three times with issues in the house, each time coming the same day and fixing the problem. That 2022 reviewer said the father and son both got the job done quickly, and gave tips to fix one of the issues and help prevent it from happening again. In a 2022 Google review carrying an update marked 2024, a customer wrote that a puddle of water formed under their nearly 30-year-old boiler, that an emailed picture brought an almost immediate response, and that a new boiler was installed less than 5 days later. That 2022 reviewer said that despite the muddy path into the house and all the cutting and drilling, the work area was swept up and as clean as when they arrived, and that after several quotes "the Welch's were very competitive." The same 2022 reviewer's earlier projects with the company related to a heating upgrade, a hot water tank replacement and a bathroom renovation. The company describes itself on its website as a family-owned plumbing, heating, gas piping and bathroom remodeling contractor. A 2025 thereminder.com article reported Gary explaining that Tim started his career in plumbing under his wing at Welch Plumbing and Heating. Joseph Welch's Massachusetts plumber license, number 13045-PL-M, is active on the state registry.
“Gary explained Tim started his career in plumbing under his wing at Welch Plumbing and Heating and the two had great chemistry as partners in work.”
If you are looking for a plumber search no more! 3 times now they have come to my rescue with issues I have had in the house! They have always called back the same day I called if they didn’t answer when I called. AND have always come the same day and fixed my problem. The father and son are both professional and get the job done quickly! They even gave me tips to fix one of the issues and to help prevent it from happening again. Seriously if you have read this far, close google and call them and have them be your plumber!
Update 2024. We woke up to a puddle of water forming under our nearly 30 year old boiler. We had an almost immediate response to a email with a picture of the leaking water, did not even need to call. Less than 5 days later we had a new boiler installed. Despite the muddy path into the house and all the cutting and drilling to fit the new boiler in, when they left the work area was swept up and as clean as when they arrived. We did get several quotes and the Welch’s were very competitive and with our prior experience it was a no brainer to pick them. Prior review: Responsive, great team work. A variety of projects related to a heating upgrade, hot water tank replacement, and a bathroom renovation. Very nice people with which to work.
