Lachance Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is a Manchester, NH plumbing and heating contractor that its BBB profile says has been trading since 1969, with Donald E. Lachance listed as owner. Its New Hampshire plumber and HVAC licences, number MBE0003054, are active on the state registry, held by LaChance Plumbing and Heating, INC. A 2026 customer said they tried fixing an item, made another worse, and Lachance was out within an hour and resolved the problem. A 2024 customer said a 3 man crew put in mini split air conditioners over two days, and that the units were working well. A 2022 customer said Lachance replaced their boiler on a Friday morning the same week they called, took the old one the same day and left the area clean. A 2021 customer said Taylor and Tyler arrived about 10:30am, replaced a leaking shut off valve and a kitchen faucet, and were done about 11am. A 2022 customer said they lost heat and had it fixed 6 hours later. A 2025 customer said Lachance had done their yearly boiler cleaning for the last few years, and that an emergency call to another company found the boiler so dirty it shut down, looking like it hadn't been cleaned in years. That 2025 customer said Lachance told them it's possible for a boiler to get that dirty in a short period of time. A 2023 customer who needed a new water heater said the woman they spoke with about finances argued, talked over them and threatened to call the cops, while thanking the guys who installed the water heater. A 2023 customer complained about the attitude of the receptionist, Theresa, while saying the guy who came to do the service was polite. A 2022 customer said the receptionist, Teresa, hung up in the middle of a question. A 2025 Reddit commenter in r/newhampshire advised against LaChance based on what they had heard the owner saying. In a September 2026 r/newhampshire thread, a commenter said Lachance gave the cheapest quote, but they did not like the model boiler it was going to install.
“Lachance was the cheapest, but I didn’t like the model boiler they were going to install.”
“For you, I would advise against LaChance based on what I've heard the owner saying.”
Naturally lachance services my equipment. I tried fixing an item and made another worse. They were out within an hour. Resolved my problem that I made and all is good.
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.
Excellent service fair pricing would recommend especially the gentleman the serviced my furnace he did a exceptional job again thanks 😊
Bill and his team are the best!
LaChance put in my mini split air conditioners earlier this month, it was a great 3 man crew. They listened to what I wanted, came up with a great design and worked diligently for the two days. The final job looked great and the units are working well. I want to thank the whole crew for their attention to detail, their great work ethic and how professional they were. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
