We had what I now learned from a non-local family friend was a simple backflow preventer failure. The friend ball parked it around $500-600 max, and that was with up to 2 hours of time taken. This company charged me $1300 for an hour of time with a single part being replaced. Similar parts are available online for $150 (and I assume they get parts even cheaper). My family is leaving town this weekend and I wanted to ensure this got fixed (but it was not an emergency call), so I didn't take time to vet out other contractors. I regret that, and have learned my lesson. Thanks F.F. Hitchcock. The Tech who visited was professional / explained things well. I'm not sure who sets the price, so if he had nothing to do with it, then this feedback should strictly go against F.F. Hitchcock's pricing structure. I reached out to F.F. Hitchcock a couple of hours after the service was performed, but so far have not received a response 2 days later. Do yourself a favor, find another company to service your plumbing / hvac.

Our first experience with Plumbums was excellent - we had an emergency issue, Jim was able to come…read moreout within an hour or two and get it fixed, and he was on his way. When our pipes froze during the big storm this January (thankfully, without water in them), we decided to hire Plumbums again. That didn't go as well. Quality of work: The fixes Jim suggested (a series of individual junction fixes) seemed reasonable for the repairs needed, but in some cases replacing whole sections would have been more time- and cost-efficient (according to other plumbers we've had in our home who have seen the work done). And we needed four return visits within our first three days living in the house to address issues that had not been resolved or that popped up as soon as we turned systems on. One problem (heat running constantly on our first floor, making the house over 80 degrees in the winter) was unresolved until I researched possible causes myself and communicated that to Jim, who sent out one of his guys to implement the fix. Professionalism: We were frustrated by the lack of care shown toward our property. Jim's guys left plumbing debris (not just the stuff our homeowner's insurance requested, but just straight-up trash), food trash, and drywall dust in our basement and living areas. This means that the first thing we had to do after driving 3,200 miles to move in was clean up after them. Drywall was removed roughly in several locations, and although patching was not included in the estimate, the cuts themselves appeared unnecessarily sloppy (and our new plumber neatly cuts and replaces drywall as a matter of course, leaving the mudding to us, which is fine). Plumbums did work well with our insurance company to get our claim handled, and ultimately we have working plumbing. But our experience wasn't great.

We have been of customers Gottier Plumbing & Heating AND their Oil service for well over 35 years;…read morethey have been there for us when we've needed them and they have provided excellent service and support. 2 months (December) after we moved into our house in Vernon, CT, many years ago, our furnace needed to be replaced. We reached out to Gottier, a local Oil/Plumbing & Heating company. They came right out and replaced the furnace and put us on a payment plan. Very easy and excellent work. Well, 37 years later, we found ourselves needing to replace that furnace. We called Gottier. We didn't even get a 2nd opinion because we didn't want to use someone else. They gave us another great payment plan and came out to install the furnace. When they left that afternoon we had a new furnace and everything was cleaned up as if they hadn't even been there. Unfortunately, they didn't clean up the rest of the basement so we're going to have to do that ourselves! Lol. When I lost my job a few years ago it happened to coincide with an increase in oil prices and our monthly budget payment was going to increase significantly. I called Gottier and told them that I had lost my job and the woman I spoke to was just so sympathetic and adjusted our budget plan so that we could afford it until I found another job. Her last words to me as we hung up: "Promise me that when you get another job you'll call and we can adjust the amount to reflect the increase." I promised and 6 weeks later, I called her to tell her of my new job. She was so excited for me! And for Gottier, of course! What's prompting me to put this in a review today? Well, a couple of days ago we got a phone call from Eric at Gottier fuel telling us that, as we could imagine, given the state of the world, oil prices were going to go up. We had a scheduled delivery 2 days hence. He was calling because he wanted us to know that the prices were going up so we wouldn't be shocked. That's amazing customer service for sure! They are so kind, so helpful and so understanding. If you're looking for an oil company and or a heating and plumbing company, you certainly cannot go wrong with Gottier.

What follows is my 4/7/20 email that received no courtesy of a response. Once paid, they had no desire to respond. I'll let you be the judge of whether you feel their actions fair and appropriate. I will stick with Veniskofsky Plumbing and Heating in Vernon. Hello Laura, It was a pleasure speaking with you yesterday and I truly appreciate your offering assistance while Tony is incapacitated. This said, I should have been advised, in advance, of your flat rate billing practices. I loyally work with a lot of contractors, as Tony can attest, and understand that practices vary greatly. My guard was down. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share with you that I would not have had Allen do the repair if I had known that there was an $89 charge for the 10 minute diagnosis and then the $115 pump would be marked up 250% to $291. When backing the cost of the pump out of the 90 minute job cost we are at a $185/hr labor rate. These are practices akin to those of Aiello, that I avoid and warn people against. In all fairness, I cannot take issue and voice my displeasure to others without first sharing with you. Thus this email. Stay well and all the best to you and Mark, Bruce

RUN! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - they lack integrity, customer service and credibility…read more In early February 2026, our residence sustained a fire. The fire was not caused by the pellet stove. Due to fire damage, the room containing the pellet stove required complete demolition. The referenced company was contracted to uninstall the pellet stove prior to remediation. The stove was removed and placed in our garage the day before Servpro began demolition of the affected room. The room was sealed off following removal. There is a dispute regarding the handling of the stove components at the time of removal: Company's position: The company maintains that all components required for reinstallation were packaged together and secured to the back of the stove when it was placed in our garage. Homeowner's position: The stove and a large pipe were placed in the garage beneath the electrical panel, against the wall, with no components attached to the back of the stove. We recall observing additional stove components remaining in the room after removal and contacted the company to inquire whether those items were necessary. We were advised that if any components remained in the room and were removed during demolition, they would need to be replaced and that this would be addressed at the time of reinstallation. Servpro subsequently gutted the room, and all repairs were completed. Prior to scheduling reinstallation, my husband visited the company to purchase paint so that the stove could be refinished. We then contacted the company to schedule reinstallation. Upon arrival, the installer stated that required components were missing and asserted that all parts had been packaged and left in the garage. The installer further alleged that the parts may have been misplaced by us when the stove was removed from the garage for painting. Numerous communications followed between us and the company, including conversations involving our contractor. Initially, we were instructed to independently locate and purchase the missing components and then contact the company to proceed with reinstallation. At that time, we were also issued an additional invoice in the amount of $2,200 for reinstallation services. Due to the cost involved and uncertainty regarding which components were required, we requested confirmation of the necessary parts prior to purchase. Over the course of approximately three months, we repeatedly attempted to obtain verification. Eventually, a company representative confirmed that the parts we intended to purchase were incorrect and provided a corrected list of required components. We were informed that the matter would be discussed with the owner to arrange installation. After receiving no further response, I left a message with the company requesting follow-up. The following day, the owner contacted me and stated that the company was going out of business and would not be able to perform the installation. On that same day, a technician emailed the confirmed list of required parts. I asked whether the company would complete the installation once the parts were obtained. Subsequently, I received an email from the receptionist stating that the owner had indicated the company would not install parts that were not original components. As a result, the pellet stove remains uninstalled due to unresolved disputes regarding missing components and the company's refusal to complete the work. This matter has caused additional delay, expense, and disruption following a significant fire-related loss.
