Trusted Mechanical Contractor

Over 85+ Years of Construction Expertise

Founded in 1935 as a retail fuel oil company by Richard Turchiano, RICHARDS was one of the first fuel oil companies in southern Brooklyn to provide service to residential customers. As the business grew, it became known for its commitment to quality workmanship, courtesy and honesty.


A tradition of exceptional service became the cornerstone for an expansion of the business in 1964 by Joseph L. Turchiano, Sr. and Richard V. Turchiano, incorporating residential and commercial plumbing construction projects to the successful fuel oil company. Carrying on the principles of its founder, RICHARDS Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. focused on building long-term relationships with its customers and consistently delivering professional installations and quality service and maintenance.


Now a third-generation family-owned business, RICHARDS further expanded into a full-service commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical contractor, under the direction of Joseph L. Turchiano, Jr. and Richard B. Turchiano P.E. Recognized as longstanding, trusted experts in the fields of fire suppression systems installation and maintenance, and plumbing and mechanical systems construction, the company’s principals hold NYC Master Plumber, Master Fire Suppression Contractor licenses, as well as Underground Tank Installation and Oil Burning Equipment Installers licenses.


With more than eight decades as a leader in the industry, Richards Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. has the experience and professional credentials to build complex and challenging mechanical systems throughout the city of New York, and always with a commitment to honesty, service and integrity.
