I am Matt "Mad Dog" Sweeney and I'll tell you what's wrong with your SCREWED %@#!~ up heating system....you know, the ones everyone else left for dead and said couldn't be fixed and should be RIPPED out. You spent alot of good money on the advice of someone you trusted, but the room is not getting up to temperature, the system is noisy, and your heating bills are higher than EVER! I have been swingin' the wrenches - in the trenches - in residential and commercial boiler rooms for over 40 years now, and consulting for the last 35 or so years. I've worked side-by-side with the best in the business. I have become close, personal friends with many of the industries' heating savants and have a DEEP well of advice from fellow Industry experts to draw from if needed, and they from me. For Many of the first few years I lost alot of money coming up, REFUSING to walk away from problem jobs, and taking a financial beating just to make it right. The Great Master Heating Industry writer and founder of HeatingHelp.com, Dan Holohan, calls that, TUITION! But did I get an education! There isn’t a bad system that intimidates me.

I've attended every Dan Holohan seminar I could over the years and have STACKS of all the Master's books. One of my proudest moments in my career was when Dan dedicated his bestselling 2003 book, "WE GOT STEAM HEAT..A Homeowner's Guide to Peaceful Coexistence" to me (See Photo Gallery). I am a licensed Master Plumber since 1998 and a 1996 Magna Cum Laude Graduate and Member of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society (est. 1776) of The State University of New York at Stony Brook. Why does this matter? I bring the WHOLE, BIG picture approach to your home and business when I come out. I pick out things that OTHERS miss. I'm the guy you call when everyone else gives up. I NEVER, NEVER, EVER QUIT! (Winston Churchill)

After spending as much time as we need to make things clear to you, and canvassing your problem system, I write up a thorough and comprehensive report, complete with Isometric drawings that ANY licensed, master plumber or qualified plumbing and heating technician can follow. I will tell you EXACTLY what ails your system and EXACTLY what its going to take to remedy it. I will walk your trusted plumber through the corrective work if that is necessary (not often). If you're looking to wean off of fossil fuels, I can advise you on the Series M Air-to-Water Heat Pumps by Taco Industries for your heat and domestic hot water needs.. Once you hire me as your consultant, I will be available for phone calls or emails to walk you and your contractor through to TOTAL success.

Call, text or email anytime for a fee schedule. Senior Citizen and US Veterans discounts will be given.
