For the hookup in the basement, they came to the house and gave me an estimate within a few days of my call, and then did excellent work.

I will definitely use them in the future.

I worked with Falcon to replace a boiler that is at its end of life. The boiler's location was at a…read morecondo we rent and being in the Fall, we had to replace it asap such that our tenants would be without heat. As I put out requests for multiple quotes, Falcon was the only company that I felt to be truthful, honest, and on time with when they said they would get us a quote. I had to chase down other companies and in one case, waited 4 days for a quote, rather than 1. That's not something anyone can deal with when it's cold out and their heat doesn't work. In addition, they came out to give us a quote that day, knowing Vermont Gas shut off our boiler saying it was entirely broken. The owner was the one who showed up and not only explained the complications with installing a new boiler, but inspected the boiler to deem it safe and turn it back on. The other companies we reached out to sent a sales person who had little understanding of the complications we faced with our boiler change. Thank goodness Falcon was the first to come out and take a look so we could educate the sales people from the other vendors.

All the work looked to be of the highest quality. Unfortunately, the boiler had issues and needed to be replaced recently. Vermont Energy was extremely customer oriented and the new system was installed at lightning speed. Four techs showed up and had the new boiler and hot water storage tank installed in one day. Even though the original boiler failed prematurely I am very pleased with the service provided me to make things right. All of the technicians were sharp pencils willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend this outfit for all your heating and plumbing solutions.

So many other residents in our condo neighborhood have worked with Vermont Energy, and we are glad we did too!

Called around and everyone was not available for 2-3 weeks. Could not handle this setback so we were ecstatic when we found Yankee... who came over THAT DAY to evaluate the project. They gave us a fair quote which was the most reasonable of anyone we found. AND STUCK TO IT. Despite some additional unexpected expenses. They showed up each day on time (7:30am), worked extremely efficiently, were very professional, and finished the job within 2 days - even our contractor was in awe. Additionally, all of our phone calls were returned promptly; secretary was very friendly and responsive. Since they were so wonderful with the plumbing we actually had them do the heating as well. Equally satisfied with that work. Can't say enough good things about them. I actually think they were the highlight of our renovation (if only our electrician had been as reliable... ).

He was very friendly and helped me with more than just the toilet seal, offering to clean out my sinks and identifying the cause of a defective faucet that my landlord had ignored. He also removed a small clog from my plumbing that I was unaware of. The bad: I'm not confident Seth completed did the job I hired him for. He spent a lot of time pouring baking soda, talking with the neighbor, and explaining his political views, but at no point did I see him replace the wax ring on my toilet. He later texted that he would send photos of the old seal as proof that he had completed the job, but when he did share a few pictures, they were unrelated. The next day, I discovered that one of the bolts holding the toilet in place was loose. I brought it up, and he claimed he intentionally left it that way and forgot to tell me I should tighten it myself the next day. I haven't found any evidence that this is a normal step in replacing a wax ring, but in either case, not everyone would have thought to check. Finally, I never received an invoice for the work. He promised to send one, but after following up five times over two weeks via both text and phone call, I've still heard nothing. He has stopped responding to messages. I liked Seth as a person, but I recommend hiring someone more professional for important plumbing work.
