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

Dan’s Reliable Hot Water Upgrade in Melrose

Ever run the shower only to find the hot water cuts out halfway through? That’s exactly what Dan from Melrose was dealing with. His old water heater just couldn’t keep up with daily demand.

When he called us, we took a closer look and found the system outdated, inefficient, and well past its prime. The fix? A brand-new 40-gallon low-boy natural gas water heater-compact, efficient, and built for steady performance.

We made sure every connection was secure, fully tested, and up to code. Now, Dan’s home isn’t just back to normal, it’s running smoother than ever. Reliable hot water, day in and day out.

Janet’s Double Upgrade in Melrose

When Janet from Melrose called about her leaking gas water heater, she mentioned her second unit was aging too. Our technician found the 40-gallon beyond repair and the 50-gallon showing early signs of failure, so we recommended replacing both with energy-efficient models.

We installed a new 40-gallon and 50-gallon natural gas water heater, securing all connections and testing everything for smooth performance. Now Janet’s home has reliable hot water and greater efficiency from both units.

Joey’s Hot Water Refresh in Melrose

When Joey from Melrose noticed his old water heater failing and delivering inconsistent hot water, he called us for help. Our technician inspected the unit and confirmed it was beyond repair.

We recommended a 50-gallon gas chimney vent water heater and completed the installation. Now Joey has a reliable, efficient system that keeps hot water flowing whenever he needs it.
