"*DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRUST THIS COMPANY.* They entered my house without permission and fraudulently billed me over $400 for an emergency after-hours service call that I NEVER REQUESTED. Reader, there was no emergency and they never even had the courtesy to call to check if there was or to request permission to ENTER MY HOME, at night, without my knowledge. This is absolute insanity - my house is in a quiet wooded area and the thought that I could have been there alone and men just showed up at my door at night, uninvited and unannounced, is frankly terrifying. I've been a customer for 10 years for my vacation home in Jamaica, but Cota & Cota has now completely betrayed my trust. Having stored my door lock code in their files after a prior (legitimate) service visit, they just let themselves in, did god knows what (again, THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY), and then sent me a $400+ bill. That is completely unacceptable, a grievous betrayal of trust and, by the way, illegal. Cota & Cota's excuse for why they did this isn't any better either - after being an auto-delivery propane customer for about 10 years, without any notice to me, Cota switched my account to COD, meaning I'd have to call them to request delivery. I had no idea, SINCE THEY DIDN'T INFORM ME OF THIS ILLEGAL CHANGE TO MY ACCOUNT (yes, that's illegal under VT law too), and then they didn't make a propane delivery to my house for 11 months. Well according to Cota, they just spontaneously realized one day that they hadn't made a delivery in a while and probably should have, so they decided that my tank must be empty, our heat must be off, and it was February so my pipes could freeze! They realized that would be 100% their fault, since they had illegally switched my account from auto-delivery to COD, but instead of calling to CHECK if there was a problem with the heat, they ran right over to my house at night, illegally entered my home and then billed me for an "emergency" after hours "call" that I NEVER REQUESTED OR AUTHORIZED. I wasn't there at the time (thank god), but I have a webcam in the house which shows a digital reading of the internal temperature in the house and could easily have let them know if there was a problem (there wasn't). Mind you, I only got this version of the story after about 6 calls to Cota to sort out the billing issue for the "emergency after-hours call". I was blatantly lied to by three different people before being transferred to Jason Terry, the manager, who then told me the "truth" (which I highly doubt is actually the truth). I won't even get into the very shady delivery of propane that they subsequently made, in which they had struck out the metered price on the delivery ticket and manually increased it by over 50 cents per gallon, but that certainly looks very suspicious to me too and we have reason to believe that the number of gallons billed were not actually delivered. Consider yourself warned, especially if you are an owner of a vacation home in their service area. We have to trust local service people when we can't be there, but Cota & Cota has proven that they do not deserve that trust and should be avoided."

Yes, most states require a plumber to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Check our state licensing tool to review the local plumber guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
Fixing a gas leak can take anywhere from one to 24 hours, depending on the location and magnitude of the problem. A gas line specialist or gas plumber should be able to give you an estimated time to completion once they evaluate the situation. If your city’s utility company works to fix a gas leak, it will likely have information available about the anticipated time for gas service to be restored.
The cost of repairing a gas leak depends on the type of leak, its severity, and how difficult it is for the repair technician to reach it. Some of the most common gas line repair costs, on average, include:
Cap a gas line: $75–$150
Gas system inspection: $150
Pressure test: $75–$500
Damaged or corroded pipe: $6–$7 per linear foot
Repair gas leak: $120–$5,000
A local natural gas plumber, gas fitter, or gas line specialist should fix gas leaks. Installing gas lines and connections improperly can lead to dangerous gas leaks and explosions. Only a certified plumber or gas line specialist should run gas lines. This is not a job to try out DIY skills, so hire a professional gas plumber or gas line specialist immediately to find the cause of the leak and fix it quickly.
