A-1 Services, Inc. is a heating and cooling company; on its BBB page it describes installation, repair and maintenance for residential and commercial systems. Its website lists a service area that includes Meriden, Hartford, Wallingford, Waterbury, Derby and Danbury, and the company says it has been in business for 40 years. On Google it holds 3.5 stars from 24 ratings, and its BBB page shows an A+ grade. A 2025 customer said a technician blamed a loose wire contact, pushed it in and ran no test, and the heater stopped working soon after he left. That 2025 customer said the company then wanted $295 before a technician would step on the property. A 2023 customer said the final bill was twice the price they had been given before the work. In a 2023 review, a customer said they were charged $1500 for a part they did not order and the company refused to fix the issue; a handyman then diagnosed and fixed it for half the price. A 2023 customer wrote that the problem was not fixed the first time and the return visit was charged again at $150. It holds an active Connecticut S1 heating and cooling contractor licence, HTG.0303244-S1, held by A-1 Services Inc.
Stay away from this company if you want peace of mind. Their technicians are independent contractors and offer extremely poor service. I called company yesterday for my HVAC and technician told me a loose wire contact was the cause. He pushed it in and it started working. He didn't run any test. Soon when he left the heater stopped working. He spent more time in his car writing the invoice. Also he told me his credit card machine was malfunctioning. I didn't know that the company was tracking his GPS location to see how long he was at my property. Super poor Service. I am still without heat and A/C is not working either. I called company again and they said I need to pay $295 if a technician is going to step on my property. My unit gets serviced yearly. Your company is not the ony approved service company. CON JOB. You are just a ripoff company' plain and simple. Check your records for past services before I moved in. Don't justify your poor service. Good luck ripping people off at Spring Village. Please stay away if you live in Spring Village.
Complete crooks, they told me how much it would be to fix the problem and after they were done, they charged me twice as much as the price they gave me. I would not recommend nor use em again.
They charged me $1500 for a part I did not order and refused to fix the issue. I called a handy man and he was able to diagnose and fix the issue for half the price.
Avoid this place. If they know what's the problem and easy to fix. Still they not fix in first time. And they come again to fix that and charges to you again for that visit 150$. Horrible experience.
Great place
