128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.

Choose between general admission seating or book an 'Eight-Track' table for your group, with food and drink available for purchase throughout the night. Soldier On owns and operates the Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community, 21-units of supportive affordable housing for formerly homeless veterans at 1660 Main Street in&nbsp;Tewksbury.&nbsp;Soldier On is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness among veterans. Since 1994, we have provided transitional and emergency housing alongside critical supportive services—case management, medical and dental care coordination, mental health and addiction treatment, financial literacy education, and transportation assistance.
For more than three decades, Soldier On has been “Changing the End of The Story” for veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by delivering—and coordinating—an extensive continuum of housing and support services.
To reach veterans where they are, Soldier On also operates a mobile, door-to-door outreach program through Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), serving veterans and their families across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Massachusetts. Since 2011, nearly 40,000 veterans have received case management, referrals, and temporary financial assistance to help stabilize their housing.
Across our affordable housing communities, Soldier On currently provides housing and wraparound support services to 525 veterans. We promote long-term stability through on-site supportive services, transportation assistance, wellness services, legal support, and end-of-life care.
Core Values
·Service. We put veterans first in everything we do. Just as they served our country, we serve them—with dedication, respect, and unwavering commitment.
·Dignity. Every veteran deserves to be treated with honor and respect. We recognize the sacrifice they've made and approach our work with humility and reverence for their service.
·Action. We are doers. We meet veterans where they are—literally and figuratively—providing hands-on support that creates real, measurable outcomes.
·Community. No veteran should face homelessness alone. We build connections between veterans, families, service providers, and community resources to create lasting support systems.
·Hope. We believe in the resilience and strength of every veteran. Our work is grounded in the conviction that with the right support, every veteran can rebuild their life and achieve stability.
