You will not find a better plumber in the South Shore. Don't bother looking…read more Frank Moody has done work in my home 3 times in the past few years and I am very impressed with his work and his work ethic. He is an expert plumbing and heating contractor and in addition, he is an honorable man. He simply does not give up on even the most insurmountable problems. I would never call any other plumbing contractor now that I have dealt with him and I really hope that he doesn't retire while I'm still a homeowner. The first time I called him was for an emergency in 2019 when there was a flood on my 4 season porch room. The entire heating zone froze and burst the pipes and radiators. He came with a helper and replaced the damaged baseboard radiators quickly and efficiently and installed a much better and more effective product than the one that froze. The porch room has been warm and comfortable all year ever since... at least until recently when the boiler itself began to fail. This year Frank replaced my water heater with a higher quality brand when the 10 year old unit that I had began leaking. The work was done quickly and neatly and he charged a fair price. While he was here replacing the water heater I asked him to take a look at my boiler which had also been giving me problems. It was running almost continuously yet all the radiators in the house were barely getting warm. The boiler is a discontinued Burnham "condensate" type boiler that I got in 2001 through Mass Save and I guess it was discontinued for good reason. Frank warned me that there was almost no chance of getting parts for that model boiler. Burnham had apparently washed their hands of it years ago. It was very possible that, if it failed that it would have to be completely replaced with a new boiler (a 3 day job that would cost an arm and two legs) To bring this review to a conclusion.. over the course of the next couple of weeks, Frank did quite a bit of work while off the clock to track down the necessary parts to fix my problem; eventually locating a pump in California and having it shipped here. He had to actually cut out the old pump because it was totally rusted in place and somehow managed to put in the new one. We thought the problem was solved, but there turned out to be electrical issues with the circuitry on the "mother board" (who knew that boilers had mother boards?? ) Frank returned when I told him that the system was still not right and he spent 4 hours (which he did not charge me for) and he found the short circuit and repaired it. Now for the first time since last winter, my house is nice and warm again.

Recently Frank was hired to replace an oil fired steam boiler due to failure of a previous one at…read moremy elderly grandmothers home. Frank took the job on immediately and was exceedingly helpful and professional. He assisted in swapping over to natural gas while navigating permits and dealing with the gas company. We ended up with a new gas steam boiler and gas water heater. His work speaks for itself. The installation was clean and done correctly. He was prompt with timing and even worked weekends to get the job done. We could not recommend Frank any higher for quality work at a fair price.

After a 3-yr search and MANY bids for a new HVAC, we settled on James Wu, who installed our system…read morelast month and proved the research paid off. Below are things I wanted to know before choosing a contractor; maybe it will be helpful for you. Our situation: 100+ yr old home with current boiler in basement. We recently insulated our walk-up attic - that would both freeze and melt items stored there - with closed-cell spray foam (more research there), added drywall and will use it for storage. This is where the air handler and ERV (for ventilation) went. Our upstairs is now ducted, with one vent running through a closet on the 2nd floor to 1st floor. We also added a Mitsibishi floor mount unit and a ceiling cassette on 1st floor. So, we had a VARIETY of equipment installed, requiring a contractor experienced in not only ducting, but mini-split installs with both a ceiling cassette and floor mount unit. We did not want the large wall mount mini split units. Our walls/ceilings are PLASTER, (metal wire mesh and cement-based): cutting them is a JOB. And, we wanted the floor mount unit RECESSED. COST - James was in-line with our other bids, which came in between 27k and 39k, largely depending on equipment recommended, with ceiling cassettes costing more. Many contractors simply would not install them, and wanted to run ducts in the corners of all upstairs rooms to first floor, which to us was a last resort. COMMUNICATION - James is very responsive to texts, emails, and even more importantly, he is a fantastic communicator. He is very calm, not pushy, explains things in an easy-to-understand way that clearly shows he knows his business. I actually told my husband after he left for the first time, "I think we may have found our guy" just based on his personality and knowledge. He's likeable, which isn't a requirement, but definitely helps. EXPERTISE - This is what truly sets James apart. Our needs were fairly complex, requiring interior ducting, 2 outside units with exterior line sets, and recessed ceiling units, but also RECESSING the inside floor unit into an interior wall. We've overseen several renovation projects recently and could tell these guys knew what they were doing. Also, they were perfectionists, and paid attention to details you don't often find with contractors. DEPENDABILITY - Not a single missed appt. Showed up on time with clear communication. The job took a week. He also helped with Masssave paperwork. They cleaned up after themselves each day, which we appreciated. KNOWLEDGE - Extremely versed in Mitsibishi equipment. He's a Diamond Contractor, which extends our warranty, but we'd have chosen him regardless. Every question I had about these units (cassette and floor unit operation, air handler, ERV, outdoor units, thermostats...) he knew the answer to. When I researched anything specific online, from multiple and trusted sources, I found the info he'd given me to be correct. I trust his knowledge and I don't automatically do that. One example: our ceiling cassette has an internal thermostat and it's off by several degrees regularly. I researched it and found we likely need an external thermostat separate from the unit to measure the room's temp. I texted James a photo showing the inaccurate reading and his immediate reply, "you need an external thermostat. I'll install one." That's what I'm talking about. INTEGRITY - Example: After the permit inspector left, James explained his philosophy on inspections. Each city apparently has different requirements. He learned several years ago how strict one particular city was, requiring a blower test to determine air tightness and the passing score was 4% or less. He got 4.1% and city wouldn't pass it. This required a lot more time/energy to go through everything and another test and more $$. So, now James says to his guys, "We install to the strictest inspection every time, regardless of the specific city's requirements, so we don't ever have to redo anything." In our case, the city didn't need a blower test but if they did, I feel confident we would have passed! I don't often take time to write reviews, esp this lengthly, but I felt it was warranted here. Finding an HVAC contractor is HARD; it's time-consuming and complicated. And a lot of money. Three years of research finally led us to James and now, looking back, it was worth the wait and headaches in research. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a new HVAC, especially if it involves Mitsibishi and especially ESPECIALLY if it involves recessing any equipment like ceiling cassettes or wall units, to consider James Wu. He and his team are uniquely skilled in their work.
