The state registry shows New Hampshire licence GF1407516 active, held by Arnold E Craigue, II. The company carries an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau and is accredited there. A recent customer said a technician named Wyatt handled their latest maintenance visit and was prompt, polite and knowledgeable. A recent customer in Vermont said Colby was thorough and pleasant on their home HVAC service, and that Debbie was there when they called for assistance and follow up. A 2024 customer said that when their large split unit stopped working, the company answered within five minutes and had someone at the door in a day. That 2024 customer said that on a second call, made on a weekend, a technician showed up within 24 hours and got the large unit working. A 2022 customer said they woke to a house full of fumes from their boiler; they said the technician, Chandler, knew the boiler settings were incorrect and soot had built up, cleaned out the boiler, and installed a new burner the same day for significantly less than other quotes they had. A 2022 customer said Arnold installed a high-efficiency York furnace in the Claremont home they bought and removed Rinnai heaters from the living room and basement. A 2023 customer said AEC installed an oil tank and line and a hybrid water heater at a fair price. A 2023 customer said the company replaced an old boiler at their rental property. A 2026 customer said the Attorney General had been notified, and said the company put in incorrect gauge piping, installed a zone control valve that was not needed, configured air intake and exhaust incorrectly, and did not return phone calls. A 2025 customer said that on a same-tank swap that should have been plug and play, they cut pipes and said the mix valve was no good. A 2026 customer said a ton of pellets they paid for went undelivered with no delivery date, after an earlier delivery came two weeks late. **Strengths:** - Quick response — a 2024 customer said their call was answered within five minutes - Same-day burner install — a 2022 customer said it came in under other quotes - Annual maintenance — a recent customer said Wyatt was prompt and knowledgeable - Active state licence — GF1407516, held by Arnold E Craigue, II **Concerns:** - Installation dispute — a 2026 customer alleged incorrect piping and unreturned calls - Tank swap complaint — a 2025 customer said they cut pipes on a same-tank swap - Pellet delivery — a 2026 customer said a paid order went undelivered ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - New Hampshire licence GF1407516 is active on the state registry, held by Arnold E Craigue, II _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://forms.nh.gov/licenseverification/) — “NH hvac license GF1407516 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Arnold E Craigue, II” - A+ grade and accredited with the Better Business Bureau _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/nh/claremont/profile/air-conditioning-contractor/aec-heating-air-conditioning-llc-0051-92072107) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/nh/claremont/profile/air-conditioning-contractor/aec-heating-air-conditioning-llc-0051-92072107) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - Describes itself as offering HVAC services in NH & VT _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/nh/claremont/profile/air-conditioning-contractor/aec-heating-air-conditioning-llc-0051-92072107) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): AEC Heating & Air Conditioning LLC offers HVAC services in NH & VT.” - A recent customer said technician Wyatt was prompt, polite and knowledgeable on a maintenance visit _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT20xNGVqRmFlRzVOTWxnelNsTldXRkozZVZSU1FtYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xc11945a622de9887!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm14ejFaeG5NMlgzSlNWWFJ3eVRSQmc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ This company is always reliable, professional and caring.
