Mainely Plumbing & Heating just finished an installation for me and I am extremely happy with their team from start to finish. I had a new Viessman boiler installed, plus a Mitsubishi heat pump with three mini-splits. They were very informative during the proposal process, walking through all the things to consider. From coordinating electrical work, removal of old oil boiler and oil tank, and the installation of all the new equipment. Their installation process is meticulous and professional. Each person on the team knows exactly what they are doing, with attention to detail, and willing to answer questions along the way. Tyler, Tommy, Reed, Laz, and of course, Ken. I would use them again without question and would recommend them to anyone considering these type of services.

we were visiting family in Maine and had the unfortunate event of a broken pipe. We found mainly plumbing online. They came out same day and fixed the problem super quickly. Everybody was really nice and the price was super reasonable, especially for the emergency situation we were in. Highly recommend.

We had a water heater installation a few years ago and have yearly maintenance service. Mainly Plumbing always keeps us in the loop from time we make our appointment to reminder and getting to us in a timely fashion.

We have worked with Mainely Plumbing since 1987, when we built our house. They are very capable plumbers for all issues and they are reliable and available. I recommend them without reservation. We recently had a problem with a leak in the water pipe in the pit with our water meter. They responded quickly and fixed it.

Do not use this company. They have Techs on staff that do not know what they are doing. They had wired my heat pump incorrectly when first installed. The Tech that had to come out and try to trouble-shoot the fix took 1.5 days. They then invoiced me over $1,000 (which I paid) but said that they didn't have a record of that invoice and just an invoice for $180. They then refused to credit me the $1000 and I had to file a complaint with the BBB. They also refused to return calls and sent nasty and unprofessional emails. There are plenty of HVAC companies in Southern Maine, do not use this company.

Critical: Professionalism, Value This company is a scam. Unknowledgeable Techs that take 1.5 days and a $1,000 to do a 30 minute job. DO NOT USE THEM. I had to file a BBB complaint and several others had similar issues based on Yelp Reviews. Take your business elsewhere. Service: Heating system repair

My boiler broke right in time for winter. Just about everywhere I called turned me away due to overwhelming demand and staff shortages. I got in contact with Jim and he was extremely responsive and faced with the same high demand as other companies, fit me in the next day. Ed showed up and was very professional, even educating me to fill in my knowledge gaps. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue and luckily had the parts to repair my obsolete boiler as a hold over. I highly recommend Mainely P&H and will certainly be using them going forward.

The guys who work for the owners are great. They stand by their work, and helped me completely gut and replace the old plumbing in my house. Working with the owner himself was less than professional. He repeatedly tried to charge me more than the initial quote, did not give me a quote for a major part of the project, and the bill came in over $5,000! I paid about $4,000, and was still working on paying the rest when he sent my bill to collections without notice! I'll give the employees 5 stars and the owner 2 stars. Get an estimate and watch how much he charges you. Be prepared to pay the bill in full or face collections.

My husband called and made an appointment to have mainly plumbing come and install a new toilet. We were told we would get a call back that afternoon with a quote. Two weeks later we were still waiting on a quote. Messages were left Thursday and Friday and we're not returned. Monday morning they showed up for the appointment with a toilet that they had chosen. I didn't realize that the tank and toilet seat were additional charges.
Nor were we told that we would be paying for travel time to appointment. Not a problem their office is 5 miles from my house. What I didn't know is I would be paying travel time from South Portland. You see that's where their last appointment was. They ended up charging me 45 minutes of travel time to get to my house. When I called I was told I would be issued a refund which I was. I just don't understand having to call about this.
The plumber told me he doesn't like that practice but he gave me a brake on the travel cost of $135.00. Do you not trust them. The toilet seat they sent, was $94. You can buy the same one at Home Depot for $21. At least my almost 900.00 toilet works.

UPDATE Within a couple of days of posting this review, Mainely Plumbing scheduled a time to come to our house and fix the situation. They arrived as promised. According to the plumber who came, the leak was not due to their previous work, but was due to the grouting. He repaired the grouting although, according to him, this is not something they usually handle. We are not being charged for this service.
We greatly appreciate Mainely Plumbing's responsiveness to the situation and their willingness to go above and beyond. We are comfortable changing the original rating and recommending them in the future.

Jim and his crew worked with us to install a mini split A/C heat pump in our home. They were able to customize it to fit our particular location, and were careful to explain what they were doing while they were on site. They were less expensive than the other bids we got for the system, installed it sooner than the other contractors would have been able to, and cleaned up well after themselves.
