Verified record
Dan's Service is a Medford-based, family-owned mechanical and HVAC contractor with more than 35 years in business, an active Massachusetts HVAC license, and an A+ BBB rating. Founded in 1988 by Dan Galvin, the company handles heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and ice machine work for commercial, industrial, and residential clients. The written record is thin, but the one detailed account is a strong one. In a December 2024 review, a customer described their heat failing on a snowy Sunday three days before Christmas — after one competitor took a full week to even schedule a visit, Dan's Service called back within half an hour, and a technician arrived and diagnosed the problem that same evening. For an emergency heating or cooling call, this review suggests a company that moves fast when it matters. With only a couple of reviews to draw on, it's still worth asking for a couple of recent references before a larger job.

Sunday, 18°, snow, 3 days before Christmas our heat goes out. One place emailed a list of questions, then said next Friday. Dan's Service returned our call in half hour, then technician called, he'll be here 20 minutes. Texted:stuck in traffic, be there 30 minutes. He found the part needed, said he'd get it first thing in a.m. He got here 8:30, done in an hour, we're warm. I'd recommend them anytime
This location is not suitable for a semi-truck of 53 ft length. The journey was quite challenging, resulting in a 1-hour going in circles to locate the entrance to this location. It is an on-street unloading facility. I awarded them 4 stars due to their assistance in guiding me and their efficient unloading within 20 minutes.
