We’ve had Silco work on our HVAC three or four times since moving to the area in 2022 and every time, including Connor replacing a capacitor in an AC unit today in the middle of a heat wave, the service has been outstanding. Extremely quick response time, quick but careful diagnostics, and great explanations of repair/replace options. The guys are friendly, professional, and efficient - highly recommend.

Connor from Silco was great. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, polite and pleasant. Connor answered all questions and explained everything he had to do. He went over & above with all he did. Silco is lucky to have him. If/when I need them again, will ask to have Connor do the work.

Very good experience with Silco. Nico D.arrived right in time and got right to work. Pleasantly we need no other repairs or replacement. I called Silco following a "you gotta replace the furnace"" bad call by a National firm. That firm never followed up on the replacement call,made me suspicious. Thanks Silco and Nico Ducette.

Silco Plumbing was a huge help and thoroughly professional when my toilet tank leaked from the second floor through the kitchen ceiling. Silco Plumbing sent someone that day and he tackled all the issues he found with the toilet. I feel lucky to have Silco Plumbing in my contacts. Ben was excellent to work with.

Our Clients’ Stories

When Caplis from Medford called us regarding no hot water and worries about future reliability, our technician carefully examined the situation. During the inspection, we identified that the water heater was the sole appliance venting into the chimney, which could present safety concerns, including the possible need for a vent liner and a carbon monoxide detector. Acknowledging the unit’s age, we installed a new 40-gallon natural gas water heater with a 10-year warranty and a 1-year stress-free service plan.


Freedom’s Hidden Water Heater Replacement

Concerned about the performance of his old 50-gallon electric water heater, Gontarz from Medford contacted us for assistance. After our evaluation, we confirmed that the heater had reached the end of its life and recommended replacing it. We installed a new 50-gallon electric water heater with a 10-year warranty, offering Gontarz a reliable and durable solution for years to come.

Freeley’s Fast Hot Water Fix

DiMare, a condo owner from Medford, contacted us for a scheduled water heater replacement, as her building requires this every 10 years. Although she hadn’t encountered any issues, she wanted to proactively avoid potential future problems. Our technician installed a new 40-gallon AO Smith electric water heater, complete with a Leak Breaker automatic shut-off valve and a safety drip pan. Everything is functioning perfectly.

Faucette, a homeowner from Medford, contacted us with concerns about replacing a gas water heater that was the only appliance venting into the chimney. During our assessment, our technician identified the need to relocate the flue opening for proper draft and raised concerns about the possible need for a chimney liner and carbon monoxide detectors. We installed a new 40-gallon natural gas water heater, relocated the chimney connection, and made sure everything was up to code. The system is now operating safely and efficiently.
