Consumer Comments for Central Cooling & Heating

Consumer from BEDFORD, MA

In 2024 and 2025, we had a superior technician. In prior years, most of the technicians have been adequate at best. They have told us that the company has a hard time keeping employees, which seems true considering how many different technicians we’ve had over the last 20 years. Some were okay, but a few knew less than I did.

Flat rate pricing without transparency. Almost $1,000 to replace two air valves on steam heat system, no detail of parts, labor, overhead. They do excellent work, for a price.

Wonderful employee, our central ac kept breaking down and this employee saved us from the ac catching fire, he got it to work again but when he put his machine on it to test it, it was very high to dangerous to keep it.

Where to Find Good HVAC Help

To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
