Plumber Bolton MA — Plumbing & Heating Services
RICHARD T. CURLEY PLUMBING & HEATING
I’m Richard T. Curley. I specialize in water heaters, and I’ve been installing and repairing them across Bolton since 1980. Plumbing, heating, and gas fitting — that’s what it says on my truck, and water heaters are the job I do more than anything else. When you call me about a water heater in Bolton, you get me, not a dispatcher.
And because my truck is a Shop on Wheels, I carry water heaters and the parts to fix them right on board. That means when you’ve got a cold shower or a leaking tank, I can usually get it handled the same day — no second trip, no waiting on a warehouse, no “I’ll have to order that part.” If a Bolton home needs a new water heater, I often have the unit in the truck when I pull up.
Why Choose a Family-Owned Plumber in Bolton?
You call, you get me — no call center, no different technician every time. I’m licensed and insured, I’ve been doing this since 1980, and I own the business. That means I show up when I say I will, and I’ll never sell you a repair you don’t need. Treating customers like neighbors is how I’ve built this — and a lot of my customers have become friends over the years.
Water Heater Installation in Bolton
When it’s time for a new water heater, you want it done right the first time. I evaluate your home’s water usage, pipe connections, and venting before I recommend a unit, so you’re not paying for more than you need.
I install gas, electric, and power-vent water heaters. For homes with high demand, a power-vent or high-efficiency gas model is often the smart choice. I take care of all permits and code compliance, and I’ll walk you through MassSave rebates and federal programs that can knock real money off the cost of upgrading to an efficient unit.
Because I carry common replacement units in my Shop on Wheels, I can often complete a standard water heater installation in a single visit.
My Honest Take on Tankless
I’ll be straight with you, because that’s how I’ve always worked. I’m not sold on tankless water heaters the way some people are — and you’ve probably noticed there’s no middle ground with them. People either love them or they absolutely hate them. For most single-family homes here in MetroWest, a good tank water heater is simpler, cheaper to install, and easier to repair, and it does the job without the extra cost and maintenance that come with tankless.
That said, there are homes where tankless makes real sense — if space is tight or you’re set on it, I’ll install one and do it properly. But I’ll never recommend one just because it’s trendy. I’ll look at your house and tell you which one I’d put in my own home. Most of the time, that’s a tank.
Water Heater Repair in Bolton
A water heater rarely fails at a convenient time. Whether it’s a cold shower, rust-colored water, or a tank that’s leaking onto the floor, I prioritize same-day service whenever I can. From a faulty thermostat to a blown heating element to a gas control valve, I diagnose the problem fast and explain your options in plain English.
Many repairs — a heating element, a thermocouple, a relief valve — can be done right there, because I’ve got the parts in the truck. If a full replacement is the better call, I’ll tell you that honestly instead of stringing you along with repairs on a unit that’s already past its time.

Kitchen Plumbing in Bolton
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s where I spend a lot of my days in Bolton. A dripping faucet, a clogged sink, a garbage disposal that’s stopped working — these are the everyday problems I fix week in and week out, and I get them done the same day whenever I can.
Faucet Repair, Installation, and Replacement
A leaky faucet wastes water and runs up your bill, and it usually means a worn cartridge, washer, or seal. I repair all major brands and styles — single-handle, pull-down, and touchless — and I carry quality fixtures in my Shop on Wheels, so I can usually finish the same visit. Want a new look? I’ll install a faucet that matches your kitchen and your budget, and I’ll recommend the ones I’d trust in my own house.
Garbage Disposals and Kitchen Drains
Slow kitchen drains are usually grease, food scraps, and soap scum built up over time. I use professional equipment to clear blockages without damaging your pipes. If your garbage disposal is jammed, humming but not spinning, or leaking, I repair or replace it — and I’ll tell you straight what belongs down it and what doesn’t.
Dishwashers and Appliance Hookups
Need a new dishwasher hooked up, a supply line replaced, or a shut-off valve that’s gone stiff? I handle appliance connections and leaks behind the sink, and I make sure everything’s code-correct before I leave. Bolton’s older homes sometimes have outdated supply lines, and I can replace worn connections before they turn into a flooded kitchen. For more details, visit the kitchen faucet Bolton page.
Bathroom Plumbing in Bolton
A running toilet, a clogged shower drain, a leaking tub faucet — bathroom problems throw off your whole day, and they’re some of the most common calls I get. I handle all of it, from quick repairs to full fixture installations for a remodel.
Toilet Repair and Replacement
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day, and it’s usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or flush mechanism I can fix on the spot. If your toilet is old or cracked, I install a new water-efficient model, and I handle wax rings and flange repairs so it’s seated right and won’t leak at the base.
Showers, Tubs, and Sinks
For low pressure in the shower or a clogged sink drain, I repair or replace shower valves, tub spouts, and sink faucets. I install new showerheads, handheld units, and diverters, and I can freshen a bathroom with a new vanity and fixture set. If you’re remodeling, I’ll make sure the plumbing meets modern code. Check the bathroom plumbing Bolton page for more information.

Winter in Bolton can be harsh, and a reliable heating system is essential. I specialize in boiler repair, maintenance, and installation. Whether you have a steam boiler, hot water boiler, or a high-efficiency condensing model, I have the expertise to keep your home warm and your energy bills under control.
Boiler Repair and Maintenance
Annual boiler maintenance is the best way to prevent unexpected breakdowns. I perform thorough inspections, including checking the burner, heat exchanger, circulator pump, and safety controls.

I carry many common boiler parts in my Shop on Wheels, which reduces wait times.
New Boiler Installation
If your boiler is more than 15 years old or requires frequent repairs, a replacement may be the most cost-effective solution. I help Bolton homeowners select the right boiler for their home, whether it is a gas-fired, oil-fired, or high-efficiency condensing model. I handle all aspects of the installation, including venting, piping, and system balancing. I also assist with applying for MassSave rebates and HEAT loans to make the upgrade more affordable.
