Kevin and Evan are the two names that keep coming up in Hummingbird Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning reviews, often in stories about a leak, a dead furnace or a failed sump pump handled fast. The company holds 100 Google ratings averaging 5 stars and says it handles plumbing, heating and air conditioning repairs and system replacements. This spring, a homeowner whose sump pump died as the snow melt began said Kevin rearranged the schedule and Evan installed a new pump before the basement flooded. A June reviewer had a hot water heater replaced, and an April customer said the crew put on booties, laid a drop cloth and gave an estimate before any work. Emergencies fill the older reviews. In July 2024, a customer who had waited three days in 90-degree heat for another AC company said Kevin called back within an hour, arrived in two, and spent two and a half hours fixing three problems at a cost the customer called very fair. In a February 2025 review, a household without heat said Kevin came within hours. A December 2023 reviewer said Kevin arrived within an hour to replace a failed sump pump after a 5-plus-inch rainstorm. In a 2023 review, a customer valued Kevin's good, better and best pricing options. The one complaint is about price. In August 2026, a customer gave two stars: two faucets were installed well in under two hours, but the bill came to nearly $800, which the customer put at $400 an hour, after agreeing up front to either an hourly rate or a block amount. That customer warned others about the rate option, so ask how the job will be billed before work starts.
The plumbing was done well and the plumber and aid were pleasant and efficient. Two faucets were installed in less than two hours. The near $800. price or $400 dollars an hour was excessive. I had to agreed before the work started to either an hourly rate or block amount which was clearly a mistake. Beware of this if this rate option is offered.
This was our first time calling Hummingbird and we decided to after seeing their name mentioned in so many positive posts online. They were professional, not pushy at all, efficient, tidy, respectful, and patient with all of our questions (and our curious kiddos). Very happy with the work of replacing our hot water heater. Will be reaching out to them in the future for more HVAC needs.
Kevin called my company for help with chimney cleaning and possible liner install due to the age of the home. That's going the extra mile for his customers. Keep up the good work. Paul Farynaz, owner, My Chimney Professional, Lunenburg, MA
100% use Hummingbird if you have a problem in their wheelhouse - plumbing, heating, a/c. A locally owned business, Kevin and Evan are both great guys, honest, reliable, competent, knowledgeable and just generally good people. And their prices are reasonable unlike other area plumbing companies that have been rolled up into national firms.
These guys were great! It only took them four days for a completely non-urgent job, and then they called and asked if they could come earlier so it worked out really well. They put booties on in the house, laid a drop cloth in front of the sink they were working on, gave me an estimate before they did any work, and left everything immaculate. Both of them were friendly and professional. Strongly recommend!
