RP Services describes itself on Thumbtack as "Here for your every need day or night! Even on holidays!" In 2024, Richard "took the time to properly diagnose the problem" with a boiler after "two other companies" had "immediately suggested a complete boiler replacement with a hefty price tag," "quickly finding the exact issue and saving us from unnecessary costs," a Thumbtack review from that year said. In January 2025, after a furnace "stopped working in one of the coldest days of January," they "came to my house within the hour and got the furnance working again," per a Thumbtack review from that year. In another 2025 Thumbtack review, Rich "diagnosed and fixed my furnace with no issues" after responding "within hours of my request." In 2025, Rich was "super responsive and knowledgeable" on a Lochinvar Knight boiler and "transparent on the pricing," explaining "what is the issue and what fix is required," a Thumbtack review from that year said. A separate 2025 Thumbtack review describes a "VERY old heating system" where Rich was able to "squeeze us in within an hour of reaching out" and "outlined future solutions in a way that didn't feel like he was trying to sell you anything."
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Rp Services. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Honestly I wish I could give Richard 10 stars. Our VERY old heating system was giving us trouble, and Rich was able to squeeze us in within an hour of reaching out. He was super helpful and informative, very clear about what needed to be done to solve our immediate problems, and outlined future solutions in a way that didn’t feel like he was trying to sell you anything. He’s genuinely nice, communicative, and his work is high quality. He’ll be our go to guy moving forward!
Great experience with rich.. came to help out my mom very late at night and came back very early the next morning also.. have a nice and efficient and great guy
I was very happy with the service that Rich provided. He responded to me within hours of my request and he diagnosed and fixed my furnace with no issues. I really appreciated Rich’s expertise and great communication throughout the process. I will definitely be hiring him again.
It was an excellent experience with RP services. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to diagnose the issues
Rich was super responsive and knowledgeable on my Lochinvar knight boiler. He was transparent on the pricing, was able to explain is simple way what is the issue and what fix is required. Would recommend to a friend.
