Rano Plumbing and Heating describes itself as a Millbury-based residential and commercial plumbing and heating company serving Central Massachusetts, with stated 24/7 emergency service. A Massachusetts plumber license held by Nicholas Rano is active on the state registry. A 2026 customer said they had tried for several months to find an installer for a natural gas, free-standing stove in their basement before Nick took the job, and that he talked to the Town Gas Inspector on their behalf. In a 2026 review, a customer with a house from 1959 said Nick updated some copper to pex, which increased pressure, replaced a toilet, updated a basement slop sink and the exterior faucets, and rerouted pipes running across a finished basement ceiling. A 2026 customer said Nick fixed the pipes to their shower after hours when a pipe burst in a wall. A 2025 customer wrote that their hot water heater died past working hours, Nick came out right away, and they had a water heater and hot water the very next day. A 2025 customer said Nick installed a new 80 gallon hot water heater that was defective, then came back and replaced it with a 40 gallon heater at no extra charge. A recent customer says the company got a food extractor working in less than an hour.
We had a great experience with Rano Plumbing. Arrived on time, fair price, knowledgeable and professional! Highly recommend calling Nick for your plumbing and heating needs.
Expedient plumbers. Got the food extractor working in less of an hour. Can't recommend them enough.
Nick is a rare gem! He's incredibly knowledgeable, a seasoned professional, kind, and honest-- all the things that can feel hard to find. I'm SO glad I met him during my kitchen renovation. Now, he's my go-to!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t usually write reviews, but Nick from Rano Plumbing absolutely deserves one. The level of professionalism and craftsmanship he brings is honestly the best I’ve seen in the plumbing industry. From the start, Nick was incredibly thorough. He came out, looked over everything carefully, and took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done and what he recommended. There was no pressure—just honest, straightforward advice from someone who clearly knows his craft. That kind of transparency and integrity is hard to find these days. The quality of the work speaks for itself. The attention to detail, the precision, and the care he put into the job were obvious the moment everything was finished. You can tell he takes real pride in what he does, and the final result reflected that. On top of all that, his prices were unbeatable. I checked around and he beat every other quote while still delivering top-tier work. Nick is one of the most stand-up, solid guys you’ll meet—someone you can truly trust in your home. If you want the job done right the first time by someone who’s honest, skilled, and professional, Rano Plumbing is the company to call. Highly recommend.
Nick really came to my rescue. I had tried for several months to find a qualified installer to put a natural gas, free-standing stove in my basement and nobody was willing to take on the project until I contacted Rano Plumbing. Nick went over and above expectations, even talking to the Town Gas Inspector on my behalf. He did a great job on the install, and everything is working perfectly. I highly recommend his services.
