I was looking for a trusted plumbing and heating company with good reviews and I picked your company. Sadly, my first impressions of your company were not very good. I had two furnaces to 'tune up' and your man Cody SAID....he tuned up both ....in 48 minutes. ?? Your own office knew ....it took 48 minutes because I called your office when Cody left my building and your tech Cody confirmed the work was completed. (in 48 minutes). The problem was one of the furnaces was not working at all....when Cody left. He apparently shorted out a wire on a furnace before he left my building. After I notified your company of the problem, you sent another tech, Travis to rectify the broken furnace. Travis saw....the cobwebs all over the condensing unit that Cody had supposedly just cleaned the day before. Travis also saw the dirty filter that was dated and showed it was three years old. Both of those issues were on a furnace Cody said....he tuned up (in 24 minutes)?????? Clearly, Cody was charging me for work he had not done. Thinking it was just a rogue tech, I sent several photos of the cobwebs and filter for the owner Jim to look at hoping, that as the owner, he would see Cody as a possible problem for his business. It was my hope that Jim would reach out to me and apologize for such shoddy work before asking me to pay $390.00 for work that was clearly not done. And Jim would apologize for his tech breaking my furnace and leaving my tenants without heat for the night. But that didn't happen. In fact after 10 days of waiting for the owner to contact me I contacted the office and explained the situation again. I was then sent a bill and not one word of an apology.....This .....even after your man Travis had witnessed all of the work that clearly was not ....done on my property. And after you had seen the photos yourself. Is this normal behavior for your company? The owner Jim didn't apologize for any of this damage his tech Cody did to my home. Maybe this is how your company does business but it's not how business should be done. When your employees make a mistake you....should take the responsibility for their errors and at least try to reassure customers that this is not how you normally treat customers. The second mistake you made was just ignoring customer complaints. I really don't know how you are still in business if this is all normal for you. Charging for work not done, shorting out wires, leaving broken furnaces, ignoring customer complaints. Wow. Now, instead of having a lifelong reliable paying customer your company now has a poor review due to your lack of caring about the quality of work you provide.

Great! Problems fixed.
Description of Work: We have had Godbout service our mini-split AC units and heating system after realizing that another company didn't have the expertise necessary to address the problems we were having at that time with our heating system. (The other company finally admitted they couldn't fix it.) It was no challenge for Godbout. The source of the problem each time was identified and addressed. Knowing this, we would have hired Godbout in the first place when our house was being built. We probably won't build again, but if we did, it'd be Godbout installing our heating and AC.

I've used Jim Godbout P&H on several occasions to service a Baxi boiler in our townhouse (a rental property). Each time they have been responsive and reliable. The strength of this company is in their technical competence. They have quickly diagnosed and resolved problems that have puzzled other P&H specialists. After having inconsistent results with other providers in the area, I'm sticking with these folks.
Description of Work: Repaired poorly functioning hot water system.

Showed up on time on August 2nd and I still have not received a quote. In the meantime I got a quote from another company and already signed a contract. Our furnace will be installed in a couple of weeks. Not providing a quote shows they are not interested in my business. The gentleman mentioned a few times that his golf game was very important to him and he took time in his schedule to do it. Just not acceptable.

The difference between the quote/walk through by Godbout and the "other" company was huge. The "other" company had many ideas and suggestions that they could offer and took the time to explain.
Description of Work: They came over on 8/2 to provide a quote. Today is 8/26, still no quote. Called another company, they came over within 3 days and provided a quote within 3 days. Already signed contract to buy install a new furnace.

I woke up to water on the floor by my kitchen sink this Sunday morning and found a wet area in my basement. Jim Godboud indicates on Angies list that his company does 24 hour emergency work. I called and got their answering service who told me that they only do emergency work for current customers. I would clearly not use this company again - on to contine the search for help.
Description of Work: NONE!

We've hired several local guys/companies to clean and service our furnace over the years. Almost always needed a follow-up service call to make things right. The technician Jim Godbout sent was on time, pleasant, efficient and the furnace has been working fine since his visit. Definitely will call them again and refer others!

Again, I'll submit another report after the work is done.
Description of Work: This is my first time using Angie's List. Angie's List gave me several more plumbers to contact besides what was in the Yellow Pages. Of those, 3 did not reply to my phone message. They may not do the work I wanted. Four gave me a quote. Two made a very good impression on me and were competitive. I chose one of them, Jim Godbout Plumbing & Heating because he seemed the most professional and has a good size company. He told me that he also has some experience in my condo complex. I was a little concerned about one- or two-man companies. The work will be done within a month. I'll submit another report after the work is done. (My two "B" ratings are because he came to look at my job later that he said he would.)

He is good. He is a kind of the modest one in the area. He is probably the most respected man on heat.
