Veteran Plumbing and Heating llc takes plumbing and heating calls. A 2022 customer said Laurie and Austin diagnosed a 50-year-old gas furnace that another company had said needed to be replaced, and in no time the house had heat. A 2023 customer said Laurie Bence came out the same day for a pipe that burst in a wall, and praised how quick the job was and how well it was cleaned up. A 2023 customer said Laurie and Austin came to check out a heating system, and that she wrote a step-by-step quote with a price for each step; that customer said Devon returned the call promptly and the repair was booked a few days out. In 2024, a customer said Lori came as scheduled to look at a mixing valve problem, traced it to a valve on the tankless water heater that had been left on, turned it off, and refused payment because there was no work to do. That customer said the fix worked. A 2023 customer said Lori cut off a leaking fitting on a baseboard forced hot water system, could not find a replacement fitting at the supply houses, and said she would call when she found one. Months later, the customer said, calls had gone unanswered and the heating system was still disabled as heating season approached.

Lori (a new plumber recommended to me) came as scheduled to check on problem with my mixing valve & brought with her a part that could offer a fix. Before she took it apart she suggested I try mixing valve in guest bathroom to see if that showed same problem. It did. She then said problem was not with mixing valve & went to cellar to check out hot water tank. She found the valve to my tankless water heater that had been was on. She turned it off & said wait a few days to see if that fixes the problem & that she would return if it did not. She refused payment saying there wasn't any work for her to do. It did fix the problem. I put her on my vendor list & won't hesitate to recommend her to family & friends. Jean Ricci
I called Lori of veteran plumbing & heating. Advised her of a leaking fitting on my baseboard forced hot water system. She came in disabled my heating system and cut the fitting off. Came back in after 20 minutes in her truck telling me that she didn’t have the fitting. She went to a few plumbing supplies to find the fitting and told me she was unable to find it. So she proceeded to tell me that she would look for the fitting and call me when she finds one, it has been months since I heard from her, so I finally called her to see what was going on. She failed to answer my calls or return my call it is now coming to the heating season in my system is disabled. If she had any brains, she would never have cut the fitting off unless she knew she had one to replace it. I do not recommend this plumber.left me hanging!!! I have been waiting for a response from Lori , but none. She screwed up big time. I guess she can’t respond to being incompetent.
Had a pipe burst in my wall, Laurie Bence came out the same day, and she is the best plumber I've ever met. Between jobs and owning 200+ year old house, I've worked with a lot of contractors and none of them have done such a quick job or cleaned up better. If you're reading this, thank you.
Love Laurie! Devon returned our call promptly and Laurie & Austin came over to our property to check out heating system. We talked about what we needed and she was able to write me exactly the kind of quote I needed (i.e. Do this step first for $xx and then the next step is $xx, etc). We made an appointment for the repair just a few days out. They were prompt, professional, easy to talk with, and understanding. Love supporting a woman in a man's business, and a veteran, too! - Meg O.
Our 50 year old gas furnace was on thr fritz. Scheduled an appointment with another company. When they came over to look at it, they told me at first glance that it needed to be replaced. Luckily I found Veteran Plumbing and Heating. Laurie and Austin showed up, diagnosed our furnace and in no time we had heat. Professional, courteous and fair. I could not ask for a better experience. From now on my first call will be to Veteran for all my plumping and heating needs. Thanks again.
