128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

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.

Short story: I am a single mom to a daughter in college, and HH owes me over $30,000, due back to me in December 2024. They refuse to pay, saying that they are just older people with no resources. Long story: back in 2020, I belonged to the Hager Homestead startup group. It was called Middlesex Senior Cohousing then. I thought I would move in. When they needed short term loans to complete construction, I&nbsp;thought they were trustworthy. I&nbsp;later moved on from the group, due to illness in my family. Now, HH's lawyer tells my lawyer that HH has no resources. Littleton, do HH&nbsp;members tell you about their travel to California, their birding trips, and trips overseas? I&nbsp;need to be repaid. I'm putting a daughter through college. Please share information if you can. Or, just talk to HH on my behalf. I am at: <a href="mailto:arlington1mass@gmail.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">arlington1mass@gmail.com</a>
