Neil Thomas Plumbing and Heating, Inc. is owned and operated by partners, Neil Thomas and Dennis Reaves. Combined they have over 100 years of experience in the plumbing, heating, and air conditioning business.

Neil started working in the trade when he was still in high school, working weekends and after school. He started full time after graduating from Galesburg High School in 1960. A year later he joined the Navy, and after completing his time in the Navy, he went back to work for his father as an apprentice plumber, and has been working in the industry ever since.

In November of 2004, Neil decided to start his own business with the commitment to provide a service that the average person could afford, and to concentrate on providing a high degree of service that his customers could depend on.

In 2006, Neil took on a partner, Dennis Reaves. Dennis had an extensive background in the heating and air conditioning field, and added the expertise that would make Neil Thomas Plumbing and Heating the best of the best in the HVAC department, both for residential and commercial projects. Dennis has proved to be a great asset to the company.

Both Neil and Dennis believe that most contractors have a good product, but a good product isn’t enough. That’s why they believe that the service we provide for the customer is the most important factor, and that is what we strive for. Great Service with a good product.
