You call. A person answers.
No phone tree, no callback queue. Describe the problem and we dispatch the nearest tech, same-day for most calls, immediately for emergencies.
Upfront price before we open a wall.
The tech diagnoses on site, walks you through options, and quotes flat pricing before any work begins. You approve, or you don't. No surprises on the invoice.
Fixed right, left clean.
Stocked vans mean most repairs finish in one visit. We protect floors, wear boot covers, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.

Signals received
4.8 stars. 300+ rescues reviewed.
"We called SOS for a leaky fixture, and they were quick to respond. Came right out and replaced gaskets instead of the whole fixture. Another plumber quoted over $1000 before they saw what we needed… we will call them again if we ever need anything."
"Diagnosed on a Saturday, whole house filtration, well tank, 50% of my pipes, and hot water tank installed on Wednesday. Great service and well done, neat work!"
"Incredibly compassionate, fast-serving team! Same-day accommodation and quick, done-right-the-first-time service. Will absolutely call again when needed!"
"If you want good hard working honest people, call this company! They've always come out quickly when it was an emergency and they price very fair."
"I called SOS on a Sunday, they called right away and scheduled for Monday. Jose and his partner solved the problem and had it fixed in less than an hour, friendly and smart."
"SOS accomplished the job professionally and at the price agreed to. We were completely satisfied and would recommend them without hesitation to our friends and family."
"Jacob and his crew are great. Annual maintenance on a complicated modern furnace went smoothly, all my questions were answered, and the system is in top condition. Awesome job."
The heat side
Rhode Island winters don't negotiate. Neither do our boilers.
Factory-certified installation, repair and maintenance for high-efficiency condensing boilers and combi units. We size the system to your house, not the other way around, and back it with manufacturer-trained service all year.
Straight answers
Questions Rhode Islanders actually ask.
Do you really answer 24/7, even holidays?
Yes. Emergencies don't check the calendar, so a live person answers (401) 601-5040 around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. Emergency calls get dispatched immediately; everything else gets the next available same-day slot.
How fast can you get to my house?
Our vans are based in West Warwick and stationed across the state, so most of Rhode Island is within a 30-minute roll. Same-day service is the norm for most calls, and true emergencies, burst pipes, no heat, sewage backup, jump the line.
Do you give prices before starting work?
Always. After diagnosing the problem we quote a flat, upfront price and get your approval before any work begins. The number you approve is the number on the invoice.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured in Rhode Island?
Every SOS technician is fully licensed and insured in the state of Rhode Island, and our heating techs carry factory certifications from Viessmann and Navien on top of that.
My boiler is 20 years old, repair or replace?
Honest answer: it depends on the repair cost against the efficiency you're losing. As a rule of thumb, if a repair costs more than a third of a new high-efficiency unit, replacement usually wins, modern condensing boilers cut fuel bills 20-30%. We'll give you both numbers and let you decide.
Is Rhode Island water hard enough to need filtration?
Municipal water here is moderately hard, and private wells, common in western RI, often carry iron, sediment or acidity that shortens the life of fixtures and water heaters. We test first, then recommend only what the water actually needs.
How long should a water heater last?
Tank heaters typically give 8-12 years in Rhode Island; tankless units 15-20 with annual maintenance. Rust-tinted hot water, rumbling sounds or moisture at the base mean it's telling you something, most replacements can happen the same day you call.
What should I do the moment a pipe bursts?
Close the main shutoff, usually where the water line enters the basement, then open a low faucet to drain pressure, and call us. Knowing where that valve is before an emergency is the cheapest insurance there is.
Can I request service online instead of calling?
Yes. Every "Request service" button on this site opens our online request form, and a dispatcher confirms the time with you by phone. Requesting a heating tune-up online saves you $20. For emergencies, always call: a person answers faster than any form.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes. Our maintenance plans bundle the annual boiler tune-up with priority scheduling and member pricing on repairs, the cheapest way to keep a heating system honest. Ask when you call or book.
Will you install a fixture I bought myself?
Happily, supplied by us or by you. If we spot a quality issue with a customer-supplied fixture we'll flag it before installing, and our workmanship guarantee covers the installation either way.
Do you handle both plumbing and heating?
Yes, one licensed team covers both sides of the mechanical room: plumbing, drains, water treatment, and boiler repair, maintenance and installation across Rhode Island.
