Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Concerns:** - A failed heater fix — a 2025 customer said the heater stopped soon after - A doubled bill — a 2023 customer was charged twice the quoted price - An unordered part — a 2023 customer was charged $1500 for it - A charged return visit — a 2023 customer was billed $150 again ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes heating, cooling and HVAC installation, repair and maintenance for residential and commercial systems _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/meriden/profile/heating-and-air-conditioning/a-1-services-inc-0111-45001277) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): A-1 Services, Inc. provides heating, cooling, and HVAC services, including installation, rep…” - Website lists a service area including Meriden, Hartford, Wallingford, Waterbury, Derby and Danbury _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.a1servicesincorporated.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Meriden, Hartford, Hebron, Wallingford, Waterbury, Manchester, Orange, Bristol, Stratford, Derby, Danbu…” - Says it has been in business for 40 years _(confidence: low)_ - [Official Website](http://www.a1servicesincorporated.com) — “Self-reported 40 years in business” - 3.5 stars from 24 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=A-1%20Services%2C%20Inc.&query_place_id=ChIJ44P3Eh_K54kRp3zvMcl4vFo) — “Google: 3.5★ from 24 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/meriden/profile/heating-and-air-conditioning/a-1-services-inc-0111-45001277) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A 2025 customer said the heater stopped working soon after a technician pushed in a loose wire contact without testing, and the company then wanted $295 for another visit _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2s1NlFXVTVVak0zU0d4VFRWQlJkSE5mYUdacFNXYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x5abc78c931ef7ca7!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOk56QWU5UjM3SGxTTVBRdHNfaGZpSWc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “1★ Stay away from this company if you want peace of mind.
