Tri Star Heating, Inc.

Tri Star Heating is the Fall River shop you call when the oil burner quits — a heating and cooling outfit whose work runs from boilers and furnaces to water heaters and oil tank inspections, across southeastern Massachusetts and over the line into Rhode Island towns like Tiverton, Portsmouth and Newport. It is a small operation. The Better Business Bureau lists two employees and a 2005 start date, and carries the company at an A+ grade. Its own site describes the business as family-owned and operated for more than 30 years, so the two tenures are worth raising when you call. On licensing, the site lists Rhode Island plumbing numbers PM1 #8612 and PM2 #7658, a Rhode Island electrical licence #1087, and two Massachusetts registrations, BU-030897 and BU-319176. Ask which of those covers your job, and check the number with the state register before work starts. For a straightforward oil-heat service call, a boiler or furnace replacement, or a tank inspection in the Fall River area, this is a small, long-running shop worth a quote. Get the scope and price in writing, ask about insurance, and ask for a couple of recent references nearby.
