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.

They responded quickly, respected my tight schedule, showed up right on time and sanitized the 2-part AC in the living room with zero mess! Boom...DONE. They are knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and gave me a few tips to get the most out of my AC unit and keep it in good working condition. These guys love what they do--that was so nice to see! I'll be calling on them again for regular maintenance. Thanks so much!

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!

Jeff installed two fans in our house last summer - the large one in the central part of the…read moreupstairs and the smallest size in our daughters' room so they can close their door and still be cool while the grown-ups are up at night. They work great - cooling the house off with fresh cool outdoor evening air (not recycled air conditioning air) and are shockingly quiet - even on the highest setting. We've been extremely pleased both with the product and Naturally Cool's customer service and installation work.

Cool your entire home for 1/10th to 1/4 the electrical cost that one window air conditioner would use to cool one room. Our QuietCool whole house fans are designed to replace all the hot air in your home with fresh cooler air, replacing all the air in your home once every 5 to 10 minutes! Creating a wonderful draft of fresh air through your entire home. It simultaneously forces the extremely hot air (150 degree+) out of your attic, allowing your entire home and attic to cool down dramatically. With a QuietCool whole house fan your bedrooms can be 10 to 15 degrees cooler at bedtime than they would be with ordinary floor or ceiling fans, while having a beautiful breeze of fresh air pouring through your windows all night long. Quiet, efficient, relatively inexpensive with naturally cool & fresh air for your home. Buy it for the cooling, love it for the fresh air!

The technician finally showed up after three appointments that they cancelled about a half hour…read morebefore the beginning of their time window. 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.

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.
