"No one was open, no one responded. Except Mike!" That is how a Thumbtack customer described losing heat during a big blizzard in February 2026; Mike came over in a timely manner and had the heat restored within a few hours. 1st Call Emergency Heating is a Quincy-area heating and air conditioning company, and its own listings describe residential repair, maintenance and installs with 24/7 after-hours emergency service for towns within two hours of Quincy, with a tech responding within two hours. Its site offers 24/7 emergency service and says the company is insured. Mike, or Michael McGinn, comes up by name in reviews from February to July 2026.

An April 2026 customer said Michael got a mini split system running again and fixed a leak they hadn't known was there. A March 2026 reviewer wrote that Mike had the heat back on in no time.

Excellent job very happy with work done
Michael went above and beyond to get my mini split system back up and running. He fixed a leak that I didn’t know was there and did an awesome job. Very professional and respectful. Would highly recommend.
Mike was responsive and diligent in completing the service.
