Great experience start to end. Professional, hard working team that got my baseboards installed and boiler up and running again before winter. They also swapped a faucet out for me that was leaking. I'll be using them for all plumbing & heating needs.

Whoever they sent did an absolute horrible job, didn’t get their name, but they replaced our furnace after 3 days of beating around the bush, ended up blowing through my basement stairs, did not tell me, and two months later the furnace popped another error code for a wiring/fuse issue.

My furnace quit working. I looked up HVAC places near me and I was fortunate enough to find C.Carlin Plumbing Inc. I called them and they sent a HVAC technition right over. He did some troubleshooting then found and replaced the motherboard. My furnace works good now. Thank you!

Our gas boiler pilot light kept going out. C. Carlin Plumbing staff placed all their emphasis on trying to convince me that I needed to buy a new furnace. They were unwilling to attempt troubleshooting and repair even though that is what I requested. I hired a different company that made the necessary repairs and…
