Jim Godbout Plumbing and Heating describes itself on its BBB page as a full service plumbing and heating contractor serving both commercial and residential clients, and it says it has been in business for 30 years. A pressherald.com article names Jim Godbout as the owner and quotes his estimate that he has hired at least nine permanent employees who completed programs at the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology. A 2026 customer said their propane furnace was throwing an F4 error, and that they came right over within an hour and a half, cleaned the furnace and installed a new igniter. That 2026 customer said Jim had originally installed the unit 9 years earlier. A 2026 customer said a tech got there very quickly at the tail end of a huge snowstorm, diagnosed the issue, installed a new pump and unclogged their oil line. In a 2018 Houzz review, a customer said Jim had done a complete HVAC replacement system at their home and that they use less energy since. A 2016 customer said Jim Godbout put the plumbing and heating system into their house, said the radiant heat downstairs was done well, and said all they could complain about was the bill, which they called not unreasonable. A 2015 customer singled out an employee named Billy, who had done most of the work in their home, and said he was creative with suggestions. A recent customer who had just moved into a house said the company would not come out to fix a faulty oil tank and heating zones until January 2027 because they were a new client, even though the previous homeowners had used the company for decades.
“Plumbing Contractor: Jim Godbout Plumbing and Heating”
“Among those attending the news conference was Jim Godbout, owner of Jim Godbout Plumbing and Heating in Biddeford. Godbout estimated he has hired at least nine permanent employees who have completed programs at the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology”
Terrible service. Oil Tank is faulty and not working at all, no heat in this new house we moved into a few months ago. They said if we were an existing client, they would come right out to us. But because we are a new client they won't come until January 2027. We just moved here, how could we have been an existing client? Previous homeowners used them for decades and now they won't service or come out to fix faulty unit and zones that don't provide heat. No heat until January 2027 with a newborn baby, thanks Jim Godbout.
Our propane furnace failed to maintain a start and was giving us an F4 error. It was really stressful not having heat and hot water in the winter. Jim originally installed our unit 9 years ago, so we called his place for someone to come take a look. They came right over within an hour and a half, cleaned our furnace and installed a new igniter. It works like a charm and we're back in business with heat and hot water. The service was fantastic and we appreciate the prompt responsiveness so much. Thank you for helping us out today, we're a customer for life!
Our furnace stopped working and I called for a repair. The woman who answered the phone was very kind. Even at the tail end of a huge snowstorm, they had a tech here very quickly! The tech diagnosed the issue and made the repair. He installed a new pump and unclogged our oil line. He was pleasant and polite.
Jim has done a complete HVAC replacement system at my own home. The results are wonderful. We use less energy and the performance of the system is fantastic. We also find ourselves working with his company on multiple project locations that my company is involved in. They are responsive, professional, and fair in their pricing.
Jim Godbout put the plumbing and heating system into my house. Radiant heat downstairs was done well and he and his men were very good to work with. Since then, over 10 years, have have minor issues and some changes have been made. His workmen show up on time, do the job well and all I can complain about is the bill. It is not unreasonable though.
