Verified record
Whalen Plumbing and Heating is a Weymouth-based plumbing and heating company that says it's been in business over 20 years, serving South Shore towns from Quincy down to Plymouth. BBB gives it an A+ profile (it isn't a BBB-accredited business) and names Ryan Whalen as the owner. There isn't much of a written record to go on — one detailed 2024 review described Ryan and Jack as responsive, walking the customer through the work, and leaving job sites spotless, including catching a venting mistake a previous furnace installer had made. Worth knowing before calling: the company's Massachusetts plumbing license shows as expired in the state registry. With so little written history, it's worth confirming current licensing directly and asking for recent references before booking.

Ryan and Jack are amazing to work with. They are responsive, will walk you through what needs to be done and how they are going to do it, and leave the areas they work spotless. We have worked with them on several projects in the past 2 months: 1) an emergency when our 2020 furnace (which was installed by a different company) stopped working - they came out found the problem, the other company did not install the exhaust pipe far enough from from the intake. They walked me through the problem, showed me in the manual how it was not done right, and fixed the problem 2) they moved a gas line on the outside of our house 3) they are going to be doing the plumbing for a primary bathroom and new furnace (in addition) and tankless water heater, and gas to a new fireplace. They have been great about answering questions from plumbing fixtures to all the random questions my husband and I think of. We highly recommend and trust them!
