# Cape Cod Refrigeration, Heat & A/C

**Trade:** HVAC / Heating & Cooling · **Phone:** (508) 349-5821 · **Website:** http://www.capecodrefrigeration.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.2/5** (low confidence) — from 4 reviews across 5 sources.

## The honest read

Cape Cod Refrigeration, Heat & A/C is a family-owned mini-split heating and air conditioning company based in North Truro, run by owner-operator Shane Burhoe and his wife Adrienne since 1996. The company also services commercial refrigeration equipment — ice machines, walk-in coolers and prep tables — and by its own account has served the Outer Cape, including Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham and Orleans, for about 30 years.

Homeowners who hired them consistently describe fast, professional work: one reviewer said a new AC system was installed within a week after a failure in the middle of Provincetown's busy summer rental season, and another, a homeowner and Realtor, reported the crew successfully installed mini-splits in a cottage-style house after other contractors had turned the job down. Shane is named directly in several reviews and described as easy to reach, on time and fair with pricing, and multiple reviewers say they've hired the company more than once. Google shows a 4.9★ average from 16 ratings, and the four detailed reviews on file, dated 2024 through early 2026, are uniformly positive with no complaints.

Before booking, it's worth asking Shane directly about his specific license number and board: the company's own site says he is a "fully certified service technician with several licenses and certificates," but names none of them, so that claim is unverified here. The review record is also still thin — only four detailed accounts are available to judge from, even though the underlying Google rating draws on 16 ratings total.

For a homeowner or small business on the Outer Cape needing a mini-split installed, an AC or heat pump repaired, or commercial refrigeration equipment serviced, the record on file points to a responsive, owner-run operation — just confirm licensing details directly before signing on for a larger install.

**Strengths:**
- Mini-split expertise — succeeded where other contractors said no
- Fast turnaround — replaced failed systems within days in peak season
- Fair, honest pricing — reviewers repeatedly praise no-fleecing pricing
- Repeat customers — several reviewers say they've hired them before

**Concerns:**
- Licence unverified — site claims certification but never names a number
- Small review sample — only four detailed accounts back this read
