# Walsh Plumbing & Heating **Trade:** HVAC / Heating & Cooling · **Phone:** (617) 372-2585 · **Website:** http://www.walshsplumbing.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.5/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Walsh Plumbing & Heating is a plumbing and heating company based at 27 Hillside Rd in Braintree, Massachusetts, offering plumbing and heating & cooling installation work. Its Houzz listing states a journeyman/master plumbing & gasfitting license and a master sheet metal license, plus a universal refrigeration usage certification. The written record is short and split. A 2018 Google reviewer described it as a great company and said they were very satisfied, though without describing the actual job. A more detailed 2021 review tells a rougher story: an initial paid consultation ran about 30 minutes but an extra hour still showed up on the final bill, the work didn't start on the day agreed, and a smaller follow-on step tied to the job was never completed even though the customer had already paid in full. That 2021 billing and scheduling account is worth asking about directly — specifically how consultation time is billed and what happens if a step of the agreed work is left unfinished. For plumbing and heating & cooling work in the Braintree area, get a clear consultation-fee and completion timeline in writing before signing, given how far apart the two accounts on file are. **Concerns:** - Billing dispute — a 2021 review reports an extra hour added to the final bill - Unfinished follow-on work — the same review says a promised final step was never completed ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Google from 2 reviews, 2018 to 2021 _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Walsh's%20Plumbing%20%26%20Heating%20corp&query_place_id=ChIJkUdqQCZ_44kRTDrJy4twuC4) — “Google: 3.5★ from 2 ratings” - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=3366564467181173324&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “2★ Several issues.
