A.J. LeBlanc Heating Wins 2026 Union Leader Readers' Choice
In 2026, the readers of the New Hampshire Union Leader voted A.J. LeBlanc Heating the winner in four Readers' Choice categories: Best HVAC Contractor, Best Plumbing Company, Best Electrical Contractor, and Best Generator Company. It reflects the trust southern New Hampshire homeowners place in every trade we practice.
Voted by readers, not industry panels
The Union Leader Readers' Choice Awards are decided by direct reader voting across categories spanning home services, dining, retail, and professional services in New Hampshire. A win reflects real customer experience across thousands of service calls. For a company that has served Greater Manchester and southern New Hampshire since 1928, that is the recognition that matters most.
The four categories we won
Best HVAC Contractor
Our HVAC team designs, installs, and services the systems that carry NH homes through long winters and humid summers:
- High-efficiency gas, propane, and oil furnaces and boilers
- Cold-climate heat pumps, both central ducted and ductless mini split
- Central air conditioning and dual-fuel system design
- Indoor air quality solutions and smart thermostats
- Annual tune-ups and 24/7 emergency no-heat and no-cool response
We are a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, Bosch Platinum Dealer, Daikin Comfort Pro, and LG Pro Dealer Platinum, credentials earned through factory training and installation volume that translate directly into better installs for our customers.
Best Plumbing Company
Our licensed plumbers handle the full range of residential plumbing across southern NH:
- Water heater installation, service, and replacement, including tank, tankless, and heat pump water heaters
- Faucet, toilet, garbage disposal, and fixture installation and repair
- Leak detection and repair, drain cleaning, and sump pumps
- 24/7 emergency plumbing response
The Best Plumbing Company vote recognizes consistent service quality across thousands of NH homes, year after year.
Best Electrical Contractor
Our licensed electricians handle residential electrical work across the same service area:
- Electrical panel upgrades and service upgrades
- EV charger installation for all major vehicle brands
- Whole-house surge protection
- Generator transfer switch installation
- Lighting, outlet, and code-compliance work
Our electricians are employees who hold the relevant NH licenses. We do not subcontract electrical work to outside firms, and readers voting us Best Electrical Contractor alongside Best HVAC and Best Plumbing reflects that in-house depth.
Best Generator Company
Whole-house standby power keeps getting more popular in NH as ice storms and wind events make extended outages more likely. Our generator team handles:
- Generac and Kohler standby generator installation
- Sizing consultations that match the unit to your home's actual load
- Automatic transfer switch and power management installation
- Annual generator service and load testing
Because the electricians and gas fitters on a generator project are our own people, one company handles the entire install from pad to permit.
