Met with Bill today for a estimate... Super nice guy! Just have to wait for the estimate, but I'm pretty confident he's going to treat me fairly! You can't say that about too many contractors these days unfortunately... read more

Do not use for water boiler cleaning. Lachance had been completing our yearly boiler cleaning for the last few years. The last time it was "cleaned" was at the end of May. So Imagine my surprise that we come back home this past Sunday and our boiler won't turn on. We had to do emergency service from another company just to be told our boiler was so dirty it shut down, and that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Feel like we have been ripped off. Edit. Called Lachance and instead of talking responsibility, they tried saying it's possible for the boiler to get that dirty in a short period of time. This is disappointing as they have done repairs on our boiler in the past with good results. Buyer beware if you are considering using Lachance. read more

So I called Lachance on 4/7/26 to see if I can make an appointment for someone to come out and talk to me about heating upgrades. Got Teresa again (rude bitch) well today was no different with her attitude, after giving her my information, she asked if I was the one that was rude to her and cursing her out last year because of course she was very rude to me, but she of course said she wasn't. I said yes, then she said we are no longer doing business with you, I'm like really ummm ok. Fact is she is a very rude woman who has no business dealing with customers and if a company insists on keeping such people on their staff (probably sleeping with the boss) then quite frankly I'm glad not to be dealing with them anymore. I will let everyone that I know to stay from this business!! read more

They are great folks, always accommodating and very quick to answer a call. I use them for my busy as well as home needs; with business it is important to stay up and running and they have never let me down! At home, it always seems like the end of the world when something isn't working properly- they are always fast and very neat- which is important to the bride. They are always the one to call! read more

I think the work is fine/ok. I do appreciate that they've helped me in a jam or two. I refuse to use this business going forward because every time I call, the woman who answers is unnecessary rude. I don't understand why this business continues to allow it, and it overall makes me question the judgment of the business owners. read more

I just had an oil tank installed in my cellar. When I called Lachance plg htg. My oil tank was leaking he said we have no problem doing this. I asked him when he could do the job he said Monday.The workers that came were very professional and friendly.I had a good time talking with them. I would highly recommend them and I'm going to use them for plumbing heating from now on. read more

Zero star. New clients, please read all reviews before you decide to go with La Chance Plumbing & Heating. I have been in the rental business for a while, and very involved with plumbing, heating, electrical work and construction work. At the time I used La Chance only for annual furnace tune-up at one property just because the previous owner used them, and that was done by technicians and they were diligent performing steps of cleaning and tests, which was quite basic and things went fine. Unfortunately the private master plumber that I have worked with me on different plumbing projects for so many years has retired. I did not recall I talked to this receptionist and realized how bad she is until I needed a couple of small plumbing updates for another property. She has NO customer service skills, is disrespectful, especially when she talked about plumbing fundamentals and trouble shooting as if she knew all. The plumber she sent was ok, but I was not pleased with the way he handled the water pipe leak as I would prefer the water valve is shut off first before trying to fix, but he said he did not need to, he made a mess, and I had to help clean up the floor later. The price is not reasonable. If your skills are not high and you spend more time doing your job, then you charge the customer more, which is not good. Stay away from this company even when you are desperate having a plumbing leak. This business owner needs to rethink the important role of a receptionist. While the position may seem administrative, the impact extends far beyond simply answering phones. Why important? Receptionist is the first point of contact (customer impression), scheduling and coordination, communication hub, problem solving and conflict management, admin support. If you operate your company like this, all your customers are the one time customers who did not have a chance to read the reviews, and used you and ran away. Pretty sad. read more

If there were a negative 5 stars they have earned it 100%. They fix what's not broken to rip you off and to frost the cake, Theresa is the nastiest receptionist on the planet! No Joke!! Just say no to Lachance. read more

Had my furnace maintained for several years by Dan at Lachance plumbing. He was OUTSTANDING. Called in August for Dan and several excuses later booked an appointment, taking a chance on another technician. I was given an appointment two months later, November 13 at 8:30 am. When I CALLED on November 12, the agent said that they could only arrive at lunch time. When I CALLED at 2 pm on the 13 th , she said that they were not coming and that she would TRY to schedule me. I know that emergencies do come up, but to be treated like I was a bother was irritating to say the least. The company's rating of 2.4 stars should have a negative sign in front. This company DOES NOT want your business. read more

RUN!! the receptionist is EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional for absolutely no reason!! she should not work in any sort of customer relations or customer care position! I had work done and only lasted a few months over a year. She made highly inappropriate comments about my income! like WHATTT!! All I was looking for what a list of what work was done so I knew if the part that went was original or not...I didnt even insinuate it was their work that caused this problem... she was rude and disrespectful during the whole conversation! if this is their version of customer care, they need to take business 101... DON'T USE THEM!! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!! read more

I am very grateful for the promptness in this company for our need for a new water heater unexpectedly. However, as a first time home owner, there is no manual on questions to ask at what time when it comes to these kinds of expenses. I had questions, yes after the fact, BUT it did NOT excuse the arguing, the talking over, and threatening to call the cops of the lady I spoke with about finances. I was appalled by the customer service that was given. There is NO excuse for a company to talk like this to a customer. I would NEVER not pay for a service, I was just asking questions and figuring out how to make it work. Thank you to the guys who installed our water heater! I do appreciate it! read more

As others have said...the woman answering the phones has such a negative attitude that you want to avoid any interaction, but when you add in the fact that she is simply unable to do her job (has to be related to someone there) and the rudeness, it is a pass. The service people are generally so-so, I have in the past had great people and then the next guy is swearing up a storm because the work was going to be hard. I called another place, guy came over was polite quick and way way cheaper. Lachance charges you a minimum of $100 to go to your house before anything is even done. This guy did the work and replaced a part all for $114, no way would I get this from these guys. Again avoid, if just so you don't have to talk to angry woman on the phone there. read more

This place is ridiculous. Told us they would be here at 8am, at 10am we called and was told they were on their way, called back at 10 mins to noon and the rude woman who answered the phone cut me off while I was speaking and barked at me that she told me earlier between 10 and 12 and they are on their way and that is not what was told to us. She was verbally abusive and cannot see how anyone would employ a person like that especially with the magnitude of customer complaints on the various review sites for this company. What ever happened to customer service? I can clearly see why their rating is beyond poor and many many people say the same thing that this woman is a rude vial person. Very sad when you have to plan your day around people like this and they come and go as they please with no regard to the customer what so ever. Also worth mentioning that when the tech first came here to try and fix the furnace in the living room he got pink sealer all over our brand new carpet and this is not coming out. By the way it is 20 passed 12 and their still not here. Beware, stay clear of this place, it's not like you save money with them as they are more expensive then all the rest of the local competition. More money doesn't equal better service in this case at all. read more

Lachance plumbing is the best plumbing company out there. They do the best job with the best people. The company is family owned and operated. I have been with them for over thirty years for my business, rental properties and my home, and they have always been there when we need them. Responsible, efficient and great at what they do. Highly recommend. read more

My water heater was leaking, I was mopping the floor five times a day. I requested a quote from lachance and they provided me a quote with no information regarding the water heater. No make, model, or any information besides "indirect water heater". I followed up because I wanted to know what they were proposing to install and I was told they didn't have time to address such specific questions because they were dealing with real emergencies, and I should seek help from other contractors. This seems extremely shady to me and I wanted to let people know. FYI- they quoted changing my electric tank to a gas tank with the vent without coming out and when I got three quotes from licensed contractors, Lachances price was the highest by far. Feel free to contact me with questions through Yelp read more

The receptionist/dispatcher is an extremely rude and unprofessional woman. The technicians are hard working and pleasant but this woman has the worst attitude and really sucks at her job. I have been a very loyal customer for many years and the one time I have a billing issue she speaks to me like I'm a child and then hangs up on me. I was very polite when I called and my issues were genuine and to be spoken to like that is unacceptable. I will never recommend or do business with this company again. read more

I discovered my hot water heater (tank) was leaking on Saturday night. In my experience once they being leaking they don't miraculously fix themselves. I called and left a message with Lachance on Sunday morning at around 8:45am. At 9am I got a call back and on Monday morning by 10:30am I had a brand new water heater. Could they have been a little cheaper....sure. More importantly, they were responsive, on-time, knowledgable and extremely competent. read more

A friend recommended using Lachance Plumbing. I have nothing but positive things to say about all the staff. Theresa was quick to respond to my emails and calls. The job was completed quickly and at an affordable price. We will use them in the future and recommend them to our friends. read more

I am waiting for the owner of LaChance to get back to me,I had a split ductless air conditioner installed about 2 some odd years ago. I have been having problems right from the start and still having problems. They came and found the compressor was no good, and charged me nearly three thousand dollars for labor. I paid it right away. Winter came and I had issues when it was very cold. I called they came and the service guys were very pleasant. Unfortunately the issue was not fixed. Now it is summer and the air is not working. I called AGAIN and spoke to the owner. I own a small business and I had to replace a ductless air-heater in my larger dining room. This was installed and is working remarkably. This was done by another company. The new company was very reasonable and professional. I will highly recommend them to everyone. I am going to leave this review until I get a response. I will let you know what the outcome is. I hope they are honest enough to replace the unit WITH OUT CHARGE. My customers' comfort is important. I'm leaving this review for now but I will certainly get back to all of you with the results. Stay tuned...lets hope I can rave about them as it should be... To be continued read more

Very pleased with the service. Al was knowledgeable, thorough, and didn't waste any time. I now have have my hot water back in the shower, my system has never been better, and the price was very fair . All in all, it was a good experience , and I will call them back . read more

We had a new boiler installed and Lachance was awesome. They have great customer service and did a fantastic job installing our heater and thermostat. Many thanks to Lachance plumbing and heating read more

I've had work done by Lachance plumbing 4 times over the past 3 years and they are always good: affordable, prompt and effective. They've replaced our water heater, fixed a burst pipe during the cold days of winter and smaller work with plumbing. Highly recommended. read more

WOW the most unprofessional "lack" of customer service i have ever experienced with a company. The woman that answered the phone was beyond rude. When I tried to confirm my appointment for today she told me it wasn't until next week. I knew I booked it for today as I closed my business to be home. She then proceeded to tell me how wrong I was and it was for next week take it or leave it. She then complained that she had 4 other calls on hold and it wasn't her problem. it's really too bad the face of the company is so disrespectful as the guys that come out and do the job are amazing. read more

I am a graduate student in the Widwest who owns property in New Hampshire where my brother and mother reside in. I got a phone call in the middle of the night regarding a frozen water pipe that burst and because the water had to be shut off my family was suddenly left without both water and heat in the middle of a frigid winter. One phone call, despite a very busy schedule, and they showed up almost immediately fixed the pipe, turned the heat and water back on, and gave me some great information to give to my insurance agent. Thank you Lachance you turned a miserable situation into a fleeting memory. read more

Lachance Plumbing & Heating get a A+ rating from me. They installed a brand new top of the line high efficiency, natural draft, oil fired water boiler. Lachance also installed a efficiency circulator, ( ventilation system). My old boiler was toast to the point when turned on nasty black smoke filled my basement. My house was freezing & my only heat source was cranking the oven with the oven door open, a couple old electric heaters, & layers of clothing. I called Lachance on a Friday the owner came the very next day ( Saturday). Monday morning I had three professional workers at my door they did a great job from start to finish. Theresa the receptionist went out of her way arranging the boiler inspection with the town Fire Department. The inspector was very impressed with the system Lachance installed, he said it was one of the best up to date boiler systems he had ever seen. I found the cost very reasonable. read more

Want to express my total dissatisfaction with this company: Lachance Plumbing and Heating of Manchester...Unfortunately for myself I was dealing with A Rude and Unprofessional woman who calls herself the office manager.... On three (3) different occasions I was given three appointments... All three were cancelled.... The first: Feb.8th between 11AM to 1 PM cancelled at the last moment... Second Appointment Feb. 8th 1 PM to 3 PM Cancelled last moment... Third appointment Feb.9th between 1PM and 3PM again cancelled... A new appointment was never given... Complained to the Woman Office Manager and she stated heat calls would precede other service calls... Also a dispute erupted over if there were two or three appointments.... I listed on my calendar the three appointments... Asked to speak to Bill Lachance and the office manager wanted to know why, saying she screens all his calls.... The owner called later and and I informed him of the situation... That his office manager was not helping matters... with some attitude and deciding not to give me a fourth appointment.... I got no where with the owner, he was to call back and never did... Finally had more than enough of this attitude... After checking the reviews from former customers saw what I should have looked at before.... Others were complaining about the same situations.... The work order was cancelled and another company was contacted.... FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE LASTING IMPRESSIONS... IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DEPENDABILITY THIS COMPANY IS NOT FOR YOU.... D. Hallahan Salem, New Hampshire 03079 read more

They robbed me blind lying about my home buyers policy. They never submitted what they were supposed to to have my repairs reimbursed. I won't use them again and I suggest that if you are using your home owners or home buyers insurance that you don't either. read more

Never called me back with a quote after visiting my home. When I called them, they had no record of my needing a quote and seemed disinterested in providing me any service. Plumber seemed kind but that doesn't offset have no hot water read more

I've always had luck with Lachance and their team. Recent events include being available on a Holiday to correct a blocked sewage line and installation of a new heating system at my home. I cannot imagine the calls they can get at all hours with sewage back ups and lack of heat in a home. I give props to anyone willing to deal with the stinky end of a toilet any day. read more

Please don't use this company. They have very poor customer service and low quality plumbing work. The receptionist called me, after sending the plumber on to the next client, to tell me I didn't answer the door. I was home the whole time but she argued I wasn't. I expressed concern of not being able to make my 3:00 appointment, she guaranteed twice the other client wouldn't take long and he would be done at our house by then. He didn't show up until 2:30, at the wrong house, and quickly took off. I saw this and called the receptionist before she sent him on to another client again. My sink no longer leaks but now sounds like a helicopter taking off when draining and the pipe is screwed on crooked. After calling and asking them to correct this they keep making up off the wall reasons these errors were because of an existing problem. The pipe wasn't screwed on crooked and it didn't drain loud before they came but somehow these new features are not their fault. They do not value customers, are rude, have poor quality work and are not a company I would ever do business again with. read more

Installed a heating system. Still under warranty. So far have had to wait more than 48 hours in each of the 3 "no heat" situations. Employees are great, better than what the company deserves. Wouldn't recommend company for installs as it reluctantly honors warranties. Being "squeezed in" for an appointment. read more

I called after hours about a new leak at the top of the water tank part of the furnace they installed 3 years ago. They blew me off. Rudely. They refused even to come out and look at it. I pointed out the great reviews and said I would put a bad review on here, and she said, "Someone will call you." They never did. Chris Talas came out and he did the warranteed replacement the next day. read more

I'd been a loyal customer for 18+ years the the last few have been challenging. They did not test my system after installing a new kick heater this summer which I understand. It was hot! Now it's September and my heat won't start. They can't come out for four days. Prioritize your customers and triage. This is probably minor. Last straw. read more

I own several single family homes and have used Lachance for major and minor renovations. They converted an older home from oil heat to natural gas with a super high efficiency boiler (96%) and an on demand hot water heater (95%) and did an incredible job. When they were done it looked like the 1960 home was new construction. I've had some real bad experiences with plumbers in the past, but am glad I found Lachance. Their workers are as professional as the owner (Bill). I quoted several projects out and they were by far the best. Highly recommend this company. read more

I own a multifamily in Manchester and called Lachance for a service call for my second floor tenants because their radiators were not getting warm. Lachance was very quick in scheduling the service for the next day. I told them that I own the bldg and I cannot be there but my tenants will let the technician in. I followed up with my tenant the evening of the scheduled date (because Lachance never called me again) and was told the technician simply opened the vents on the radiators and no parts were used. I then received a bill from Lachance for a service call fee and a part. I verified again with the tenant AGAIN that no parts were used, and have since inspected the parts in the unit and can clearly see they are not new. I sent Lachance a letter (with my check to cover the entire service fee minus the part) to explain the situation. Ive gotten no response other than "past due" invoices showing a balance for the part. I called today to follow up and was spoken to rudely and told that they "did too" use a part and were going to fight me in court. I would not recommend using them, and in fact would recommend warning others about how this company basically steals money from customers by charging for unused parts. read more
