## The honest read

By the time some of these customers called Rego, somebody else had already tried. A homeowner writing in February 2025 had new vanities put in and a drain that leaked; the first plumber couldn't find the source, and Caesar from Rego did, fixed it, and left the bathroom clean. In October 2023 a customer on their third company for an increasingly foul smell out of two mini-splits said Jacob B. drained and cleaned both systems, cut the condensate hoses to the right length, and taught them how to keep it from coming back.

Duane Rego's name is on the door, and for years he was the man on the job — the 2019 and 2020 accounts are about Duane personally: a Generac whole-house generator installed neatly with the process explained, a home charging station wired, a quote he cut himself when a job turned out easier than he had figured. What answers the phone now is larger. Thumbtack lists the business as Rego Electric, Heating and Cooling with fifteen employees, and the 2025 reviews name Bill, Caesar and Chris rather than Duane. One customer wrote in May 2025 that after this job they would stop shopping plumbing estimates altogether.

HomeAdvisor shows 4.8 stars across 72 ratings, 94 percent of them five-star; Thumbtack shows 4.7 across 66, with Top Pro status in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2025. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts electrician licence and a home improvement contractor registration issued in November 2025, alongside 165 recorded building permits, and Thumbtack lists master electrician and master plumber numbers — all directory entries rather than a state registry check.

Two things to raise before you book. BuildZoom shows the company's insurance status as revoked, so ask for a current certificate of insurance. And a January 2020 HomeAdvisor customer left a half-star account of a panel replacement, writing that Duane said all the right things before he was paid and then went long stretches without showing up; HomeAdvisor's own profile summary describes that review as a delayed and mishandled panel job. Three percent of HomeAdvisor's 72 ratings sit at one star, and six percent of Thumbtack's 66. A milder version showed up in September 2025: the fix turned out to be simple, the bill ran higher than the customer expected, and they said they would likely use the company again anyway.

For panel work, generators, EV chargers, and the electrical-or-plumbing puzzle another contractor gave up on, this is a strong call around Dighton and Bristol County, and the phone gets answered fast — a July 2025 customer was fit in the same day. Get the certificate of insurance, and get the price agreed in writing before the work starts rather than after.

**Strengths:**
- Second-opinion fixes — found faults two other contractors had missed
- Same-day availability — a July 2025 customer was fit in immediately
- Quotes hold — one customer's price was cut when work proved easier
- Named techs praised — Caesar, Jacob, Robert, Brandon, Chris and Bill
- Multi-trade shop — electrical, heating and cooling, and plumbing under one roof

**Concerns:**
- Insurance status — BuildZoom shows it as revoked; ask for a certificate
- Panel job complaint — a 2020 customer described long unexplained absences
- Price surprises — a September 2025 customer found the bill higher than expected
- Licence numbers unverified — the credentials shown are directory entries

**Where sources disagree:**
- BuildZoom shows the company's insurance status as revoked while Thumbtack's profile carries a 'License verified' badge; neither is a state registry confirmation.
