I had a water leak emergency on Saturday night and was struggling to find a plumber (left a bunch…read moreof voicemails). A friend called her plumber contact on Sunday who was away, but was able to get me in contact with Jacob Grout on Sunday morning. Jacob called me back and came out on Sunday to look at the issue. He quickly diagnosed the situation and as there was a way to use water without a further leak, he picked up the replacement part Monday and came right over to fix it. He's friendly, professional, and very reasonably priced. In addition to plumbing emergencies, he does boiler replacements, emergency services, installs everything from old-school boilers to the latest heat pumps, from radiant flooring to steam radiators. I highly recommend his services. As he states on his website, "If you live anywhere between Stowe and Randolph, Montpelier and Warren, we are ready to be your go-to plumber." -I'm sold.

I really can't comment on the quality of their work as it won't show up until later, but he did spend a lot of time trying to sell me additional services, advising me that it would be $149 additional if I didn't sign up for it right away. He reminded me of a used car salesman. I ran into a friend who was familiar with them and he had a similar opinion. I would not hire them again. PS I could have done the work they did in about an hour if I was 20 years younger. It cost almost $400.

Well, 3 stars for an electrical service that charges $149 to come and give you an estimate, no…read morematter if you accept or pass on what their estimate will be. I contacted them using their webform, and unfortunately,.. before reading other reviews regarding this fee that they charge and ended up passing on using them when they contacted me. There's many other excellent electricians in the area that won't charge you a penny to come by and with no obligations to use them. That's the way we ended up going and we'll still have the excellence of service at a very competitive price. I'm sure Lloyd's is a great company and this review is not suggesting otherwise, but, do you want to spend $149 to end up not even using them? Lloyd's might consider a new policy for 2025, ..."your $149 estimate fee will be credited to your work", in-other-words, if you went with using Lloyd's, they would credit you that $149 back. Sadly, that is not their policy. Yet.

My 80 yr old mother had issues with her furnace over Thanksgiving. After spending 2 days…read moreattempting to fix it they told her she needed a new furnace. They installed a new one for $8900. The worst part is the technicians did not clean up after the job. They left the basement floor covered in soot and mud. It took her the better part of a week to clean it, and there are still stains on the floor. Cleaning up after a job should be a given. Just normal decency.

NEVER GO THROUGH FREDS ENERGY!!!!…read more I Closed that account somewhere between February and March as they got pissed I wasn't using a lot of fuel and kept trying to add hidden charges to my bill. I then had them keep sending me stuff about crediting my account despite being told I'd receive a check.I finally got the check and they picked up their propane tank after 3 months of them harassing me any my household and them refusing to close my account. I mentioned 6 times between February and now that I'm not going through them my account is to be closed and I'm going through a different company.Well today had to call them back as I received a paper with my account still active and a list of rates for 2025 dated May 19th. I don't know if I should contact a lawyer or cops to file harassment charges or what but something has got to give.I do not recommend them and they lost all respect and credibility to me.

They have over filled my tank on numerous visits, they are grossly over priced! Sometimes you get good heating plumbing specialist!

Essentially they just do not care and will speak and treat you however they want! I would not recommend them to anyone in Vermont!

TOP NOTCH WORK AT A FAIR PRICE I can't say enough in praise…read moreof Erik and Nathalie. When my boiler suddenly stopped working, other contractors didn't even call back. Nathalie called that afternoon to say Erik would be right over, and he was! He explained what was needed and gave me a quote. And he came back early the next day, telling me I had to have heat ad hot water. They did the work thoroughly and efficiently and were a pleasure to deal with. And when my AC quit, again, Erik was there the same day. He showed me the material commonly used, which has major issues. He made a temporary fix, as the next day was to be hot, then came back to make a permanent repair. Nathalie runs the office and works with Erik when a job needs two people. They're smart and professional but also the kind of people you'd like to hang out with. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone. P.S. I'm in St. Albans VT, not San Fran!

They also repaired my boiler's vent tube and installed a cap, so the vent whistle works and things are now up to code. Everything looks great and works perfectly. Jason and his crew were very polite and professional, and they explained everything that they were doing throughout the process. They were punctual and completed work in a timely manner. They also kept everything neat and clean. Best of all, the finished cost was exactly what I had been quoted in the estimate. And the price was very reasonable. Horizon Plumbing & Heating came in at a much lower cost than other estimates I received. They did an exceptional job. I highly recommend Horizon Plumbing & Heating and Jason Foster.
