For almost a decade, the efficient, expert technicians of Franco Belli Plumbing & Heating & Sons have provided service to my home. Prior to becoming acquainted with this company, I had experienced inspection and repair work of a much lower quality. I would also like to cite the genuinely polite, pleasant behavior of the technicians and office staff of Franco Belli Plumbing & Heating & Sons. In this city, it is difficult to make a choice among so many offerings. Franco Belli can make your life easier.

$200–300 Supposedly “navian” certified technicians were clueless about their job. He accompanied an apprentice and claimed they would fix the issue. All they did was complain about the incorrect installation of the system and insisted on dismantling the entire plumbing system, which cost astronomical amount I brought another non-certified “navian” technician, cleaned the machine’s interior, paid him $200, and it has been functioning flawlessly ever since, which was a year ago. I was not impressed with this service. They tried to sell me unnecessary items. As a homeowner who lacks plumbing expertise, it’s challenging to resist their sales tactics. Not recommended

Business reply

Franco Belli Plumbing & Heating & Sons

Your review misrepresents what actually occurred and comes across as unfair propaganda. Our technicians followed Navien’s official OEM requirements, not arbitrary company rules. Navien clearly states that if a unit is installed incorrectly or serviced outside OEM standards, the manufacturer’s warranty is void. Certified techs are obligated to point that out—ignoring it would be irresponsible. A quick cleaning may get a system running temporarily, but it does not correct installation deficiencies that Navien themselves classify as warranty‑voiding. Our team provided you with accurate, manufacturer‑based information, not sales tactics. We stand behind our certified technicians and the standards we are required to follow. If you’d like to review the OEM documentation or your service record, we’re available to discuss it directly.

Just recently found out about an old open plumbing permit for gas work issued and never signed off by the original plumber of the permit. It never showed up at the purchase of the house years ago. I called many plumbing firms and most did not want to be bothered and some had no idea what I was talking about. But luckily for me I found Franco Belli Plumbing and Heating. The owner listened to my situation and explained to me what would be needed to be done to rectify this situation with the DOB. After being reassured by Franco Belli Plumbing and Heating of all scenarios, I hired them to do the work. They started and completed the job when they said they would in a very professional manner I have not seen in many years. I’m so happy to have found Franco Belli Plumbing and Heating! And now I have a plumbing firm for all my plumbing needs.

Update 4 years later: Just had the 4 year Local Law 152 gas inspection done by Franco Belli, in and out and painless and friendly. Many thanks to Paul, Shawn, and Manny! We contacted Franco on a recommendation for our periodic local law 153 gas inspection on our facility. They were prompt, efficient, and honest. We needed extra work to comply to code but they were able to guide us through the process and took the anxiety out of it all. From the owner to the field team, all were approachable, accessible, helpful, patient, reassuring, and friendly. We will definitely be using them for all our future maintenance and inspection needs. Thanks very much to Paul, Manny, Mike, Chris, and the rest of the gang! Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Thank you for taking the time to update your review — and for coming back to us four years later. When a customer returns after that long for their next Local Law 152 inspection, it really tells us we’re doing something right. We’re glad to hear that this inspection was just as smooth, friendly, and painless as the first. It means a lot that you continue to trust our team, from the office to the field. Paul, Shawn, Manny, and everyone involved appreciate the recognition. Guiding you through the code requirements the first time and then seeing you return four years later is exactly the kind of long‑term relationship we work hard to build. Thank you again for your loyalty and for the kind words. We look forward to being there for your future inspections and maintenance needs.

A one‑star review with just 2 words? Come on, at least give us a storyline. We can’t fix a toilet we never heard about, and that mystery one‑star is really messing with our Google score. If this is legit, reach out so we can actually solve it.

Overpriced | $200–300 Absolutely terrible experience with Franco Belli Plumbing. I called them to service my water heater, and the technician was at my home for less than five minutes before refusing to perform the work, stating that my unit was not serviceable by their company due to missing parts. No repairs were done, no meaningful diagnosis was provided — yet I was billed $280.35 for “one hour of service.” At no point before the visit was I informed of a mandatory one-hour minimum charge. Only after the technician declined to perform the job was I handed paperwork with that language buried above the signature line. This is a classic bait-and-switch — no disclosure up front, refusal to provide the service, and then a hefty bill. Services Service not listed

Business reply

Franco Belli Plumbing & Heating & Sons

We’re disappointed to see this review, especially after your credit card company reviewed the dispute and ruled in our favor. You were informed of our hourly rate when you scheduled the service, and our office provided a written proposal to address the missing components—which were the result of a prior installation we did not perform. The unit was not serviceable as-is, and we followed manufacturer's protocol by assessing the issue, documenting it, and offering a compliant solution. The minimum charge reflects inspection and time on site. Posting a negative review after losing a formal dispute feels unfair, but we stand by our transparency and professionalism.

My wife and I hired this plumber and they spent a total of 3 hours at our house, did not fix what they said they would, and then tried to charge us over $2k for only 3 hours of work--we tried to fight them on that and they threatened and harassed us. horrible experience.

Nina Mullen 1 of 5

I would highly discourage using this plumber, they sent a high quote, charged a deposit, sent two plumbers who were not able to do the work and then claimed I owed them additional money (when I did not). I ultimately had to hire a different plumber who was able to complete the work within an hour....pretty terrible experience.
