What People Say About Us
Peri is awesome. He is extremely responsive and did an excellent job on our bathroom renovation. I recommend going with him and I will be using him for all our plumbing needs in the future.
The service was great. I called Peri from Proto Home Service Plumbing for a clogged kitchen sink. After inspecting some pipe connectors/drainage, he realized that some connections were wrong. He took the time to explain everything in detail that needed to be changed. I followed his recommendations and I'm very happy with the results. Peri is very professional with many years of experience. Highly recommend!!
Peri was amazing! He was super informative and gave me an estimate right off the bat. The service was fast and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely be using Proto Home Service again!
Clean, professional work. They were quick to respond and took the time to explain the new tank’s operation. We had an oil hot water tank replaced (which most plumbers can't/won't do). Great work. Thank you.
I recently had Peri from Proto Home Service Plumbing handle all the plumbing work for my bathroom renovation, and I couldn't be more impressed! He installed a brand new walk-in shower, infinity drain, toilet, and faucet with absolute precision and care. What stood out most was the excellent quality of his work combined with his professional attitude and very reasonable rates. Throughout the entire project, Peri demonstrated exceptional skill and attention to detail...
Our water heater gave out unexpectedly. Peri and his team were there in less than 18 hours to replace it. He is very responsive and he will always be my first call when anything plumbing or heating needs attention.
These guys are AMAZING. If you’re looking for someone who is both knowledgeable and super-responsive, these are your guys. They have dealt with some super janky plumbing for me in a couple of old buildings and they did a phenomenal job. Trustworthy and reasonably priced. Hard combination to beat.

Signs You Need Emergency Heating Service
Emergency heating service is the right call when you have no heat, your system won’t turn on, you’re hearing loud or unusual noises, or your home isn’t warming up even though the system is running. You should also call right away if you notice burning smells, soot, leaking water around equipment, or repeated shut-offs. If you ever smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave your home and contact your gas provider or emergency services before calling for repairs.

Quick Steps to Protect Comfort and Safety
A few quick steps can help while you’re waiting: check your thermostat settings (heat mode + fresh batteries), confirm your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, and replace a dirty air filter if you have one available. For boilers, make sure nothing is blocking vents or intake/exhaust areas. If indoor temperatures are dropping fast, open cabinet doors under sinks to help protect pipes and keep a trickle of water running if freezing is a concern. Most importantly, don’t keep resetting a system that’s repeatedly shutting down, there’s usually an underlying issue that needs a professional fix.
