Our Story

A Warm Welcome Since 2012

From humble beginnings to becoming central Vermont's most trusted heating experts, our journey has always been about one thing: keeping families warm.

James Worthington - Founder of Atlas Plumbing And Heating
Our Beginning

Started in a Garage, Built on Trust

James Worthington started Atlas Plumbing And Heating back in 2012. After years of working for other companies and seeing too many customers get overcharged or receive subpar work, he decided there had to be a better way.

Armed with a single service van and a commitment to honest work, James set up shop in his home garage in Montpelier. Word spread quickly through the neighborhood — this was a technician who showed up on time, explained the problem clearly, and never pushed unnecessary services.

"I wanted to build a company where I'd be comfortable having my own mom call if she needed help," James often says. That philosophy still guides everything we do today.

Our Values

Why We're Different: Our Core Beliefs

We founded Atlas on a simple premise: treat customers the way you'd want to be treated. That means honest assessments, fair pricing, and quality work every single time.

Honesty First

We never push services you don't need. If your system can be repaired instead of replaced, we'll tell you.

Punctuality Matters

We respect your time. Our technicians arrive on schedule and complete work efficiently without cutting corners.

Local Community Focus

We're not a faceless corporation. We're your neighbors. We live and work in the same communities you do.
