Lund Plumbing & Heating is a Tewksbury-based plumbing and heating outfit whose Massachusetts plumber licence, 10602-PL-M, the state registry confirms as active with John Lund as the holder of record. Its directory profile describes bread-and-butter residential work: leaks and pipe repairs, frozen pipe thawing, hot water faucet and garbage disposal replacement, gas piping, and steam and high-efficiency boilers, plus bathroom and kitchen remodeling.
What customers consistently praise is quoting that holds. A 2021 reviewer said the final cost was the same as the quote; a 2012 reviewer said they were charged exactly what they were quoted on the phone; a 2009 reviewer said the job came in exactly on budget. Several name John Lund personally and describe him steering them away from the pricier option toward what they actually needed.
The work reviewers describe is specific: a gas boiler installed neatly in 2022 with help applying for the permit and rebate, a hot water heater replacement in 2021, an outside faucet in 2009, and a backflow preventer and second water meter for an irrigation system. Speed comes up repeatedly too - a next-day toilet repair, a job finished faster than expected, and in January 2026 a crew sent out the same day during a snow storm to restore heat.
Two things are worth weighing before you read the star averages. Almost the whole written record is old: 17 of the 24 reviews on file predate the five-year window the rating weighs most heavily, with the bulk clustered in 2009 to 2012. And the 4.9 figures on Angi and HomeAdvisor are not two independent verdicts - they are the same 22 reviews syndicated to both sites.
The only real criticism on file is about a bill. In a February 2009 review a customer wrote that they were charged $300 for under an hour of work with only a bracket as the part, said the fee seriously affected their ability to pay other bills, and would probably try someone else next time.
This is a sensible call for straightforward residential plumbing, water heater and boiler work in the Tewksbury and Merrimack Valley area, particularly if you want a quote you can hold someone to. Get the scope and price in writing up front, ask what an hourly call-out actually costs, and confirm licence 10602-PL-M with the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters before booking.

Shoutout to Nick Lund of Lund Plumbing. I was in a panic. My wife and I were house sitting in Chester for some friends who were on vacation, and the toilet backed up. We had to resort to a bucket solution. Nick totally understood and did everything in his power to help me. I really appreciate his commitment to customer service. As a business and leadership coach, Nick demonstrated the kind of service I preach to my clients. Highly recommend calling Nick if you're in need of a plumber in the Chester/Stevensville area.
This past snow storm, I desperately needed some help with the heating in my house.
I explained the situation to Lund Plumbing, he told me NOT to worry & that he’d have a crew there that day! They showed up & fixed everything! Thanks to Lund Plumbing & Heating, my family & I now warm! 💚
