Barnabe Refrigeration is a Plymouth-based HVAC and refrigeration contractor run by Eric Barnabe, working on residential, commercial and industrial systems — central air, ductless mini-splits, walk-in coolers and freezers, kitchen equipment, ice machines and ductwork. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described an older AC unit with a kinked hose disrupting airflow; Eric offered two repair options rather than pushing the pricier one and fixed it within two hours. In a 2023 review, another customer said Eric diagnosed an air conditioner issue quickly, already had the parts on hand, and called him prompt and communicative when scheduling. Another 2023 review describes a second opinion on a three-year-old Fujitsu mini-split that another installer had quoted at $1,700 for claimed leaks; Eric answered questions immediately and offered a more reasonable repair cost. A 2022 review recounts a routine service call where Eric kept the customer updated on arrival time, cleaned the indoor and outdoor units, and recommended specific replacement filters. And in a 2021 review — the oldest on file — a customer called Eric's pricing fair and reasonable after a prior contractor had overcharged for the same kind of problem. Thumbtack shows a 4.7 rating from 32 reviews, though only five bodies are retrievable here, and the reviews on file describe largely routine residential AC and mini-split calls — worth asking directly about current pricing and scheduling for larger or commercial refrigeration jobs. For homeowners in the Plymouth area needing central air or refrigeration diagnostics, several years of consistent, detailed praise for Eric Barnabe's straightforward pricing and quick turnaround make a strong case — confirm current availability and rates when you call.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Barnabe Refrigeration. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$5,000 – $11,400
Typical HVAC project around $8,200
Can't say enough good things. Had an older AC unit with a kink in the hose causing disturbed air flow and warmer air coming through my vents. Eric gave me two different options on how to fix the problem and didn't force the more expensive option on me. Came and fixed the problem within 2 hours. AC is working like brand new. My new go to guy when I have any concerns about my AC. Hire him and you won't regret it.
Very prompt in responding to the request. Very communicative when scheduling. Diagnosed issues with my air conditioner quickly and had tools and parts on hand to fix. Happy with the value. Would call again.
I contacted Eric for a second opinion regarding a Fujitsu mini split HVAC unit. The unit was installed 3 years ago. We called the original installer to perform a maintenance. Fast forward, we were told the unit had leaks. " 3 leaks" material and labor would be $1700. This didn't make sense? third season.. already needing major repairs? Eric to the rescue! He answered my inquiries immediately and shared detailed knowledge that we weren't explained by the original installation company, which made complete sense offering to repair our unit for a far more reasonable cost. Unfortunately, the original company ordered the parts, so we're stuck! Consumers beware! Always seek a second opinion! Thank you, Eric, for your prompt and professional guidance!
Eric came for a regular service call. Kept us updated on arrival time. Checked and cleaned inside and outside units. Recommended replacement filters that we could purchase on Amazon for added value. Would use again.
Eric was amazing. I would highly recommend him to everyone. I called someone else that I had found on Thumbtack first and they ripped me off. Eric came right away and told me what the real problem was and took care of it the correct way at the very reasonable price. Don't waste time calling anyone else call him first.
