Company History

The business began as a single-truck operation in the late 1990s. Early work involved boiler repairs and winter callouts for frozen pipes in older homes. Over time the shop added technicians, a small parts inventory and a dedicated service van for water heaters and recirculation pump work.

Growth was steady and practical: more service routes, training on modern water heater technologies, and a focus on reliable repairs rather than quick fixes. The company keeps records of past jobs to help with follow-up service and seasonal checkups.

Leadership

The founder, Samuel G. Racette, has years of field experience with plumbing and hydronic heating systems. He maintains hands-on involvement with training and job estimates. Samuel participates in local trade groups and works with suppliers to stay current on codes and parts commonly needed in older New England houses.
