Gray Electrical, Plumbing & Heating is a Brooksville business with roots in 1984: an ellsworthamerican.com article says Gray opened it that year and that it is now run by his son, Jerry. John H. Gray holds a Maine hvac license, MS30001526, active on the state registry. A 2023 customer said they had been customers for over 40 years and called the business responsive, reliable and knowledgeable. A 2025 customer said the plumber was friendly and quick and provided images, but objected to paying $450 to install 2 shower heads bought elsewhere, one of which popped off.
