About Thonus North
Local Heart.
Master Technician.

Best Buddies watching the sunset at Stage Harbor Beach.
At Thonus North, we bring something different to every job: pride, precision, and deep roots in the Cape Cod community. My name is Michael Grillo, and I was born and raised right here on the Cape. I’ve lived here my entire life, and now I’m raising my young children here too. That means I don’t just work in this community, I’m part of it. And I treat every customer’s home like it’s my neighbor’s… because it often is.
I studied Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration (HACR) at Southern Maine Technical College and am a graduate of the Plumbing and Heating program class of Y2k at Upper Cape Tech. With hands-on training, years of real-world experience, and an unwavering commitment to doing the job right, I’ve built a reputation across Cape Cod for being honest, reliable, efficient, and friendly. I take my reputation seriously because it’s the foundation of this business and the example I set for my kids.
Beyond fixing pipes and HVAC systems, our goal is to give you peace of mind and a home that stays comfortable through every season. From routine service calls to complex system troubleshooting, we show up on time, work cleanly, communicate clearly, and always respect your home and your time.

Investing in the Future of the Trades
I also operate a local scholarship fund for graduates of Cape Cod Tech and Upper Cape Tech who are entering the building trades. We started UCT Hopefuls to help talented young people get the training they need to build successful careers in the trades. It’s our way of making sure the next generation of skilled locals can actually afford to stay and thrive right here on the Cape. With housing costs rising and the HVAC industry growing more complex every year, supporting the next generation of skilled, local tradespeople has never been more important.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for honest, top-tier service, or a young tradesperson striving to build your future, Thonus North is here to help.
