Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

Landry Mechanical is a Millbury shop people call for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work across Worcester, Middlesex, and Norfolk counties — the name that turns up on local Reddit threads as a default for a leak, a dead AC unit, or a mini-split install, and one commenter this summer noted it's still family owned rather than private-equity backed, unlike some competitors in the trade. The company says it started in 2008 doing about 20 systems a year and has grown into what it describes as the largest family-owned home-services company in the region, now around 70 staff; a 2023 business item confirms it moved its Sutton-registered headquarters to Millbury that year. The strongest thread across hundreds of Google reviews is fast, explained service: customers repeatedly describe same-day fixes for a leaky valve or a failed AC condenser, and crews who walk through what they're doing rather than just doing it — mini-split and heat-pump installs draw specific praise for technicians who communicate clearly and clean up after. One reviewer had Landry handle the electrical side of a bathroom remodel too — rewiring for heated flooring, new lighting, and an exhaust fan. Its Massachusetts HVAC license is active on the state registry, and BBB has accredited it as an A+ business since 2014. Worth asking about before booking: pricing comes up again and again as the sticking point. Several reviewers describe quotes running well above competitors for the same job — one was quoted over $31,000 for a boiler install versus $11,600 elsewhere, another got a $67,000 heating quote against $20,000-$30,000 bids from other companies — and in a Reddit thread comparing local HVAC companies, one commenter separately called Landry one of the pricier options. A handful of 1-star reviews also describe missed or late appointments — a canceled emergency AC call on the hottest day of the year, a rescheduled heating no-show — and being billed a visit fee when no work got done. None of that erases the volume of detailed praise — 4.8 stars across more than 3,200 Google ratings, and Reddit commenters in 2024 and late 2025 naming it their go-to for semi-annual maintenance. It's a reasonable call for HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work in the Worcester/Millbury area, especially when speed matters; just get a second quote on anything beyond a same-day repair, and ask upfront what a missed appointment or a diagnostic-only visit costs.
