My water heater was 9 + years old and was ready to die. I called a bunch of the larger plumbing companies in Wakefield to have a look at my heating system. One after another they came in with their product to sell. I had estimates ranging from 18K to 25K. They were all saying I had to replace my boiler, even though it was running fine. The new systems were expensive and all seemed to have a pretty steep annual maintenance cost. A few of the guys were fairly condescending trying to act like I was an idiot for not signing right up to do the work. One place actually charged me $49 for a "Service call"... the guy did no service, he just gave me an estimate! I did the math and the payback time was fairly long.
Central plumbing (Paul) came and looked at my system and listened to what I wanted to accomplish. He said, let me think about the right solution. A few days later he came back with a great solution that let me replace the water heater with a stainless steel indirect tank that I can use later if I decided to replace my boiler or if it dies. This solution cost me about $4K. We have plenty of hot water with a house full of kids taking ridiculously long showers.
Paul is super response to texts (got back to me in minutes when I texted him). He was also totally honest about when he was able to do the job.
End of the day, I was really happy with his work and would highly recommend Central Plumbing to others. read more
