Yellow Dog Home Services, LLC

Yellow Dog Plumbing, Heating & Cooling is a young company — the Better Business Bureau dates it to about a year in business — run out of Needham Heights by founder Pat Dunn, covering plumbing, heating and cooling work across Newton and the MetroWest towns, with 24/7 live-answered, same-day service advertised on its own site. The reviews on file so far describe quick turnarounds on real emergencies. In a September 2025 review, a customer said a water tank was replaced within hours the same morning they called, and an October 2025 review described Jeffrey assessing a broken hot water heater the same day and installing a replacement the next. A bigger job gets the same treatment: an April 2026 review described a $2,500 plumbing project handled smoothly from the front desk through the crew on site. One August 2026 review adds useful pricing context: a boiler cleaning and flushing came with a $79 visit charge plus $200 for the service, and the technician, Jeff, wasn't initially familiar with the gas valves on that particular boiler — a commercial-style unit installed in a private home — but completed the work anyway. The company's own site states it holds a Massachusetts Master Plumbing license, #15891; the Better Business Bureau separately lists a Massachusetts plumbing and gas-fitters license, #5072, and grades the business A, accredited since May 2025; Angi and HomeAdvisor list a trade license number, 17035, expiring in 2028. The site also states it's Mass Save Certified. For plumbing or HVAC work in Newton and the MetroWest towns, this is a strong call, with a track record that's new but consistently positive — ask for a written breakdown of visit and service charges up front, and confirm they've worked with your specific system if it's an uncommon setup.
