Dowling Corporation is a Hampton heating and cooling company that says it has been in business 65 years and lists 24/7 emergency service on its own site. A 2025 Google customer said Dowling looked at all of their space to calculate the load size for a new AC unit and laid out the ductwork, vent locations and duct lines to minimize ceiling impact. That customer said the technicians worked through a 100+ degree day to get the AC turned on, and called the pricing competitive. A 2024 customer who worked with Dowling in a professional setting said Ben and Robert were personable and communicative while installing an exhaust fan, and described many projects, service calls and annual PMs with the company. A 2023 reviewer who manages a hotel said they use Dowling there. A 2022 customer said Dowling installed a Carrier system in their house 12 years earlier, did not respond to service calls in the first few years, and later said it was not taking new customers and would not come see the system it installed. In a recent Google review, a cashier at another business said a man came to her workplace and threatened that something bad would happen if he did not get paid, and urged others not to hire the company.
Some man came to my place of employment and threatened me and the business I work at. I have him on voice recording saying “It’s a small town and something bad is going to happen if I don’t get paid.” First off, I’m a 5 foot tall young woman just working a cashier job. I’ve only been here two months, I don’t have any business with contractors or anything. Using deductive reasoning you could’ve assumed I have absolutely nothing to do with the business matter and you could’ve turned around and left then. Secondly, if you need payment from the owner, speak to the owner. Not a cashier. Not a maintenance person. The owner. You asked to speak to someone that isn’t the owner or even control the bank account of the business. It is wildly unprofessional to come into any business and threaten the destruction of property and make innocent workers fearful to come to their job. His visit into the store could’ve easily been an email or phone call and I wouldn’t suggest anyone get work done by this company if that is how they react. And finally, next time you threaten a person or a business, make sure they don’t have several voice recording cameras pointed in your direction.
Great experience with Dowling! I had received quotes from 5 different companies; one looked at our job for 5 minutes and left, and the others provided various load sizes but no explanation as to why they recommended that size. Dowling did their due diligence to look at all of our space to calculate the appropriate load size for our unit as well as the ductwork layout (both the vent locations and the duct lines to minimize ceiling impact) so the system is as efficient as it can be. They're willing to explain why they made their recommendation and educate me better, which was important to me considering the investment. Ductwork and installation went smoothly and the technicians worked through a 100+ degree day to get the AC turned on (one tech actually finished our job and left for another at 6pm that same day). Would highly recommend Dowling. They educate, provide reason behind a recommendation, and the pricing is competitive. All well worth it to gain peace of mind that I have the best system and layout for my needs.
Have worked with Dowling in a professional setting and can’t recommend enough. Fair price & great technicians. Ben & Robert were very personable and communicative when installing our exhaust fan. We have had many projects, service calls, annual PMs, etc with Dowling and they are punctual and knowledgeable every time. Will continue to work with Bob @ Dowling for any future projects!
We use them at our hotel I manage and they have excellent customer service! We will continue to use them when needed!
Great company
