The Colche" doc_version: "2026-10-29" last_updated: "2026-10-29" --- # Laplante's Plumbing & Heating LLC **Trade:** Plumbing · **Address:** 127 Gilly Dr, Colchester, VT 05446 · **Phone:** (802) 893-0787 · **Website:** http://www.laplantesplumbing.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.3/5** (high confidence) — from 50 reviews across 5 sources. 90% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 6 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read In February 2026 a Google reviewer wrote that Laplante's Plumbing & Heating installed a new boiler for them in one day, in the middle of winter. The Colchester, Vermont company says it has been in business 22 years and lists Burlington, Essex, Williston, Milton and Shelburne among the towns it serves; its site also describes remodeling work. It holds 4.8 stars on Google across 90 ratings. In September 2026 a customer had Allen replace a 20-year-old hot water storage tank before it caused trouble. In May 2026 a customer with a 50-year-old modular home had two bathrooms fully upgraded after Chuck looked the job over and put an estimate together within a few days; the crew finished in three days and the reviewer wrote there were no surprise costs. A November 2025 customer had Ken fix a bathtub tap for a reasonable charge. In August 2026 a customer wrote that Chuck and his team had a replacement furnace ordered and installed within two weeks. In March 2025 a customer whose new boiler would not fully heat the house on a very cold morning reached the company on a Sunday, and three of its people were at the house that afternoon testing it. That same month Don M spent the better part of an afternoon on the phone helping a customer find that a valve was not fully open, which saved them a service call. In December 2024 Greg installed a new boiler to replace a 68-year-old one, and an April 2024 customer wrote that their boiler was pronounced dead on a Wednesday and a new one went in on Thursday. In February 2026 a customer wrote that they called twice within 24 hours, were assured a technician would get back to them, never heard back, and had Roto-Rooter thaw their pipes instead. In November 2024 another customer wrote that no one showed up during a 10:00-to-1:00 window or called back after three calls to the answering service. In November 2023 a customer wrote that a pipe the company installed under their house the year before had sprung a leak, and that the company came to look but would not fix it before winter. **Strengths:** - Boiler replacements — February 2026 new boiler installed in one day - Weekend response — March 2025 Sunday call got a same-day visit - Bathroom upgrades — May 2026 two bathrooms done in three days **Concerns:** - Call-backs — February 2026 customer never heard back from a technician - Leak follow-up — 2023 customer's installed pipe left unfixed before winter ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A new boiler installed in one day in February 2026 _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pZeFRqUktZVTQzTmxreVpVNVdORVZqWjFOWVZrRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xd63edaeb69d8c672!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjYxTjRKYU43NlkyZU5WNEVjZ1NYVkE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Laplante's P&H did a super jobs installing a new boiler for us.
