Dan's Service

Dan's Service is a family-run HVAC and mechanical contractor based in Medford, with the kind of story that sells itself: a heat outage on an 18° Sunday, three days before Christmas, that one company punted to the following Friday — Dan's Service called back within half an hour, had a technician on site by 8:30 the next morning, and had the heat running again within the hour. The company says it's family owned and operated with more than 35 years in mechanical contracting, and the Better Business Bureau's own profile backs up the longevity: it lists Dan's Service, Inc. as founded in 1988 and run by Dan Galvin, with an A+ BBB rating. Its Massachusetts HVAC license is active and registry-verified. Google shows a 4.7★ average from 3 ratings. The one other review on record, from late 2024, isn't about the HVAC work at all — it's a delivery driver describing a tricky time finding the entrance for a 53-foot semi-truck, though still crediting the company's help unloading with 4 stars. Dan's Service handles installation, repair, and sale of air conditioning, heating, refrigeration, and ice-machine equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial clients, and lists a service area running from Somerville and Cambridge out to Needham, Peabody, and Andover — worth confirming Medford calls are covered given the company describes itself as based both there and, per BBB, in Somerville.
