Question Answers

What should I do if my main water shutoff valve is broken during a plumbing emergency in my Boston home?

If you discover a broken shutoff valve, your first step is to locate the main water shutoff for your property, typically in the basement or near the water meter, and try to close it. If it's seized or broken, call us immediately at Downtown Plumbing and Heating. Our 24/7 emergency team is familiar with the older plumbing systems common in Boston and Suffolk County. We'll dispatch a technician who can install a temporary shutoff or replace the faulty valve on the spot to stop the water flow and prevent property damage, then provide a permanent repair solution.

Do you offer maintenance plans for my HVAC system to prevent breakdowns?

Yes, we provide proactive HVAC system maintenance plans designed for Boston's climate. Our maintenance service includes thorough inspections, cleaning, and tuning of your heating and cooling systems. This regular care helps improve efficiency, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during extreme weather. It's a smart way to maintain comfort in your home and can often identify minor issues before they become major, costly repairs.

I need a new water heater installed. What are my options, and how quickly can you schedule it?

We install a variety of water heaters, including traditional tank, high-efficiency tankless, and hybrid heat pump models, to suit your home's needs and budget. Our technicians will assess your current setup, hot water usage, and available space to recommend the best option. For standard installations, we can typically schedule you within a few days. If your existing unit has failed and you're without hot water, we prioritize it as an emergency service and will work to get a new system installed for you as soon as possible, often the same day.
