Georgianna Pilkington
Many thanks to all the employees and the owners of LaPlante Electric who made sure that our "new" generator was repaired after an oil leak was discovered during it's one year maintenance service. Technicians Corey and Trent braved the frigid temperatures to get the job done right and office staff Tara and Karen called to make sure that we were happy with the service and repair job. A special thanks, too, goes to Andrea LaPlante who called on a weekend day to check in with us and follow up on any questions that we might have.
Well done, LaPlante Electric! We know we can count on you!! 🙂
Response from the owner:12/8 reply:

Georgianna, thank you so much for the adjustment to your rating as well as your expressions of appreciation for the efforts of our team to get this right for you. We certainly have your back and feel privileged for customers like you in the community who trust us with one of your most prized possessions, your home! We look forward to assisting you, and as I'd mentioned during our conversation, I've ensured to note that if anything further is necessary we'll be sure to care for your needs in a way that makes you and your husband feel valued and important, which you are. Thank you so much again!

- Tara

12/4 reply:

Good morning Georgianna,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I completely understand your frustration based on what you’ve written.
The office isn’t open yet this morning, but early this morning I noticed your review from late last night and wanted to reply right away with my initial thoughts.
I took some time to look into your account this morning, and I can see that after your annual service we noted a return visit would be needed. The repair is expected to take 4–5 hours, and our team has been working to find the right spot in the schedule for you. I also see we spoke with you on Monday to confirm the December 9th appointment.
That said, I agree with you — this wait feels too long, and I’m truly sorry that you’ve been left feeling disappointed.
We’re replying here first since this was your preferred way of reaching management, but we will also be reaching out to you directly as well.
I’ll be reviewing this with my team today. While we are very busy this time of year, that’s never an excuse for a customer feeling undervalued. Situations like this are important learning opportunities, and we take them seriously. Thoughtful discussion, coaching, and continuous improvement are part of our culture, and your feedback gives us the chance to get better.
We absolutely do not want you to feel like a disappointed customer. We’re committed to showing you the level of service our team is known for.
If there happens to be a CMP power outage before your December 9 appointment, please reach out so we can support you right away.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We look forward to taking care of your repair next week and showing you the level of care you deserve.
Warm regards,
Andrea LaPlante
John Budlong
They did a truly amazing job.
Response from the owner:John, thank you for the kind words! We’re thrilled that ‘amazing’ is how you’d describe our team’s work. We appreciate you trusting us with your generator needs and look forward to supporting its maintenance in the future.
Joseph Curwen
Amazing service. The guys worked fast, in the snow, at night to install our new generator. Great job from a truly professional crew.
Response from the owner:Hi Joseph! We’re thrilled to hear you’re pleased with your new generator. Our teams put in the effort, even in challenging weather, to ensure the security and comfort of a powered home. Thank you for recognizing their hard work—we truly appreciate your feedback.
Laurel Pearson
The guys did a great job installing our new Kohler whole house generator.
Leslie Hanlon
Great experience with top notch professionals from the customer service group to the maintenance team. They get it done.
Response from the owner:Porsche, thank you for this 5 star review.....we're so happy Christian was able to help!
Susan Caldwell
Best customer service I’ve experienced from sales to installation of the generator. LaPlante electric communication before the project is inpressive - they call you, instead of you trying to find someone to talk with. The installation team arrived on a rainy day - smiles, pleasant, happy to answer questions and explain process. Positive attitude start to finish from the whole team! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Sue, what an absolute joy to read this review....thank you so much for the glowing remarks as it makes all of us happy to hear how much you appreciated the rainy day smiles.....give us a shout whenever you need us, we look forward to working with you for years to come!
Mike
Had our one year old Kohler generator serviced by a wonderful, knowable.and very personable gentleman named Tim. You did a great job hiring him would definitely, definitely use him again thanks again for such great service and hiring top notch people.
Response from the owner:Good afternoon, Mike

Greatly appreciate you taking the time to give Tim a shout out! We agree that he's been a great addition to LaPlante, and is a wonderful asset. We're happy to know this translates to our customers so folks like you have an enjoyable experience. Thank you for sharing yours!
Michael Wood
Not much for writing reviews but I have benfitted from others so figure its my turn to pay it forward. But more importantly, my expereince with LaPlante is worthy and so valuable for others in their consideration of an electrical contractor, I thought it only appropriate to share my experience. Having perfromed considerable research, I decided to hire LaPlante to install 2 heat pumps, 3 ceiling cassettes and 2 floor mounted units and an upgraded electrical service panel in my home. The planning involved three meetings where LaPlante's rep and I went over every detail. Installation went exactly as I had hoped - clean, neat, discreet, and professional. Great expereince, great outcome, even greater people. You won't regret going with LaPlante!
Response from the owner:Good evening Michael,

Wow—thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We are really moved by your words. It means so much to see our team recognized like this. They worked hard on both your generator and heat pump installation, and they’re going to be so excited when they see what you wrote.

We’re just feeling so grateful that you were willing to take a few minutes out of your day to give us such a thoughtful shout-out. Your kindness is so very much appreciated, and it truly made our whole day.
Thank you again for trusting us with your home. We’re grateful for customers like you!

LaPlante is the absolute best. Patient and helpful, even when I was in the wrong. I can't say enough good about them. They truly care about their customers, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing any of their services. Their techs are amazing. Customer service is fast and reliable, the best I have worked with for anything. Holly and Leigh Ann are wonderful people.
Response from the owner:George, what a humble and kind review. We truly appreciate knowing that a customer of ours is so appreciative and recognizes the efforts put in to ensure you're happy! We feel the same way about all those wonderful people too, thank you for taking the time to express that.
