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 Sevice Plumbing for a clogged kitchen sink. After inspecting some pipes 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 cant/wont 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.

— Oil Heating Warning Signs —
Problems That Require Oil-Heating Repair
An oil-fired heating system may need repair when it will not start, repeatedly locks out, produces uneven heat, cycles too often or develops new noises, smoke, soot or odors. These symptoms can involve fuel delivery, ignition, combustion, controls, airflow or hydronic circulation.
Do not keep pressing the burner reset button. Repeated resets can allow unburned oil to accumulate and create an unsafe condition. Call for professional diagnosis instead.
— Licensed Oil-Burner Work —
Oil Burners, Furnaces and Boilers
Proto Home Service holds Massachusetts Oil Burner license BU-319987 and services oil burners installed in both forced-air furnaces and hydronic boilers. The technician checks the equipment related to the reported problem and identifies the source of the failure before recommending work.
Because an oil burner is only one part of the heating system, diagnosis may also involve controls, fuel delivery, venting, the furnace blower or the boiler's circulation components. You receive an explanation of the problem and pricing before approved repairs begin.

Emergency Oil-Heating Repair
Loss of heat during cold weather, visible smoke, strong oil odors or a burner that will not remain running can require prompt attention. Call (617) 842-9104 for urgent service; do not rely on an online request when the situation may be unsafe.
Availability and the repair required depend on the diagnosis and any necessary parts. The team will explain what can be completed safely and whether follow-up work is needed.
— Repair and Ongoing Care —
Restoring Reliable Oil Heat
Repair addresses the immediate failure, while appropriate maintenance helps identify wear, combustion concerns and developing problems before the next heating season. The service recommended should reflect the equipment, its condition and manufacturer guidance.
When repeated failures, unsafe deterioration or unavailable parts make repair impractical, Proto Home Service can explain replacement considerations without pressuring you into unnecessary work.
