Rutkowski Plumbing & Heating is a New Britain plumbing and heating business that says on its website it has been in business 50 years and installs faucets, toilets, water heaters and boilers. It holds an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. A 2026 customer said they woke to a furnace with no heat and by 9 am the furnace issue was being addressed, with a reasonable bill. A 2026 reviewer wrote that Ron came within 30 minutes for a busted pipe and then got an old steam boiler working that other HVAC techs had not been able to fix. A 2026 customer said a burst pipe was replaced the same day. A 2026 customer said he came out on a cold Super Bowl Sunday, fixed frozen pipes and got the heat working again. A 2023 customer said Jose came out on time and repaired a clogged drain in 45 minutes. A 2023 customer said Ron was there early Monday morning to install a gas water heater after a Friday call. A 2022 customer said the plumber fixed a faucet they thought needed replacing and saved them a sizable amount of money. Some calls went badly. A 2026 customer said he looked at the ceiling under a leaking upstairs kitchen sink, never checked the sink, and talked about breaking down the wall; someone else replaced the elbow pipe. A 2026 customer said they were quoted $1300 to replace a shower valve and had it done elsewhere for $500. A 2023 customer said he told them a wall would basically have to be knocked down to fix a broken bathtub faucet handle, then hung up.
Had a leak in the upstairs kitchen sink, he came out, looked at my ceiling, without checking the upstairs and told me that he would have to break down my wall to find the leak, even I know, just replace the pipe. He also said that I would have to get someone else to put the wall back. Really? All this for a small problem. Then he said " you can pay me now for coming " He never even looked at the upstairs kitchen sink, he just came in, looked at my ceiling and started talking about tearing down my wall. Not to mention, while talking with a mouthful of whatever he had been eating! I called someone else, they replaced the elbow pipe. No problem 😊
I’ve been using Ron’s services for a few years now. I’ve never once had a bad experience. He and his employee are fast, reliable and super knowledgeable. His office staff are easy to work with and always return calls. Ron has always been willing to go back and check any concerns that pop up. Highly recommend Rutkowski Heating and Plumbing.
This is the second time I have used this business. Woke up 2/12/2026 with my furnace not working and no heat. Mid February and 14 degrees outside and wondered how I could get this problem fixed. Messaged business early AM and by 9 am my furnace issue was being addressd. Timely repair, reasonable bill for service and would have no trouble recommending to others and to use for future work. Hard to find reliable and dependable, and look nowhere else than these professionals. More than satisfied customer in Middletown CT.
We had a great experience with this family-owned plumbing business. They were extremely prompt, fairly priced, and professional from start to finish. You can tell the plumber truly knows his craft and takes pride in doing the job right. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about quality work. Highly recommend!
Affordable, prompt, communicative. Had a pipe burst, replaced it same day. Highly recommend
