Competitive Plumbing and HVAC

Competitive Plumbing and HVAC is a family owned and operated plumbing, HVAC and renovation contractor based in Lakeville, MA, serving Southeastern Massachusetts including the South Shore, Upper Cape and Greater Boston. The company's own site names its owner as a Massachusetts Master Plumber, and reviewers consistently identify him by name as Rob Gillis. Homeowners who have hired the company describe detailed, specific work across seven years of reviews: a leaking boiler replaced with a whole new heating system installed within a day, two indoor mini-split heads and an outdoor condenser installed, a furnace and broken flue repaired after a storm, and multiple water heater replacements. Several reviewers describe using the company repeatedly over years for different jobs, and recent activity in the last six months — five reviews, none negative — continues that pattern. Reviewers repeatedly praise fast response: one reviewer says a call placed early on a Saturday during a heat wave got same-day AC repair, and another describes the owner answering the phone at 6:30am and talking them through a fix themselves rather than charging for a visit. Before booking, it's worth confirming licence status directly. The Massachusetts registry lists a plumbing licence (3722-PL-C) for Competitive Plumbing Inc as expired, a different number from the Master Plumber licence the company states on its own website, which the registry could not verify. A 2023 review on BuildZoom also describes a bathroom and kitchen plumbing job left unfinished, alleging the contractor walked off the job and describing a pending legal dispute — a different account than the pattern in the company's more recent reviews. For a Southeastern Massachusetts homeowner who wants a responsive plumber and HVAC contractor for emergency repairs, installs, or a bathroom or kitchen renovation, Competitive Plumbing and HVAC has an unusually deep, specific track record of repeat customers — just confirm the current licence status and get clear terms in writing before signing on for a larger job.
