He stopped by and gave us a quote which was very comparable to other quotes we received. We decided to go with Michael and a few days later (before our scheduled installation date) our boiler/heating system completely broke and we had no hot water. He again stopped by and looked it and offered to try to fix it temporarily. We appreciated the offer but we just waited for the scheduled installation date that we had already set. Michael had said it would take 3 days to install and it took 3 days. He arrived on time every day and worked all day in the very hottest of days. His subcontractor/electricians came on the last day and they were polite and on time. We asked them for their business cards in case we needed future electrical work. I've attached a photo of his work. Disregard the flooring as that where the old equipment was.

We had 5 companies quote us for a repair and decided on South Shore Plumbing. Mike came on site to quote us for a boiler replacement and had the quote out to us within a day from viewing the potential repair. His price was very reasonable, especially compared to some of the other companies, and we had the replacement scheduled within a week from the phone call. Mike showed up on time and finished the install of a new boiler and removal of the broken one by midday, taking time to ensure heating was working to all points of the house. We are extremely pleased with the experience and will work with him anytime we have plumbing issues or maintenance scheduled in the future.

Buying a mini-split system is an incredibly difficult process. The Mass Save rebate system is very…read moredifficult to navigate. I got quotes and presentations from 4 different vendors and the pitch and price was exactly the same - hour long presentation and a $30k cost. However, what each vendor tells you is that IF you qualify a $10k rebate is available and your net cost is $20k. Essentially the rebate is a scam - it just gives contractors the ability to inflate the prices and use the rebate to make the system sound cheaper than it really is. I finally met with McIver and he was able to simplify the entire process. He is not a Mass Save contractor. So he does not work the rebate, just offers a strait-up cost to install the system. When he gave me his quote, I quickly figured out that Dan McIver was an honest man and that the whole Mass Rebate program was a scam. His quote with the similar equipment and the same number of mini-splits was $13,500. I hired him for the job and they started within a week. One of my biggest concerns was esthetics - I was worried about too many refrigeration lines running around the outside of the house. Our house is a rental property in Cape Cod that had a lot of charm to it and we did not want to ruin the integrity of it. Dan came up with a brilliant solution and was able to run most of the lines through the basement to minimize the lines on the outside of the house - we were so pleased with this solution. His team did a fantastic job building out the system - they were clean and finished the project on the timeline he quoted. The work was high quality!! Net is that Dan took a very complicated buying process and made it simple and affordable. He is highly recommended for the quality of his work, pricing and his honest and straightforward approach!

Reading through other reviews, it seems like the issue my parents had with this company is pretty…read morecommon. They have a maintenance contract with Beantown for their heating system. Beantown comes out, plugs their diagnostics in and generates an annual report. The heating system breaks, Beantown comes out, resets something and leaves. The next day, the heating doesn't work again. This has happened multiple times now. My 70+ year old parents have been without HVAC heat for 2 days because Beantown has failed on multiple occasions to to either properly identify or fix a known issue. Now, their call service is demanding a $500+ emergency fee to come out and address the issue. Apparently, this is because they had a holiday party the other night and gave all their employees the weekend off as appreciation for their "hard word". That's great if for them, but not great for elderly customers with service contracts whose heat doesn't work during New England snowstorms with sub-freezing outside temperatures. I guess one of my parents' neighbors had a similar problem Friday night (saw talking to the service person in the Beantown truck in his driveway) and the neighbor was told that a dirty air filter caused the most recent heating failure with his HVAC ...

He came when he said he would and was able to contact the manufacturer and arrange a technician appointment so there wouldn't be wasted time waiting for a return call. Together they solved a gas pressure issue and using a too high MERV (13 ) filter that restricted air flow allowing the furnace to burn too hot. This caused a lockout shutting the furnace down.
