Duggan Mechanical Services is a Canton-based building-systems contractor serving commercial, institutional, and multifamily properties throughout Greater Boston. Its site lists HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire alarm, sprinkler, water treatment, and drain cleaning, with 24/7 emergency response; Procore places the office at 136 Will Drive. Recent customers describe capable HVAC work and prompt service. A December 2025 reviewer said a technician replaced two failed heating and air-conditioning units accurately, efficiently, and neatly while explaining the new equipment. In September 2025, an agency customer said DMS restored a failed summer HVAC system quickly. There is a clear pricing concern to resolve before work begins. In November 2025, one homeowner said a water-heater quote was already high, then the final bill was almost double the expected amount and advised others to find another plumbing company. Ask for a written scope, itemized pricing, and change-order approval before authorizing replacement work. DMS fits larger building-system needs and emergency service in the Boston area. Confirm which division will perform the work, the response window, and how quoted prices can change before signing.

Two of our five Whalen heating and air conditioning units failed and needed replacement. Duggan Mechanical sent a very competent and knowledgeable technician to install the new units. He performed the service with accuracy and efficiency. In addition, he helped us to understand the operational features of the new units- - very helpful. Lastly, he was very careful to work neatly with respect for our living space. I highly recommend the firm to anyone requiring this sort of service.
Duggan Mechanical has provided services in my home on many occasions. Customer service at all levels, from the service technicians to customer support, has always been above and beyond exceptional. Services are provided in a very timely and professional manner!
They quoted a high price to me for replacing my water heater. I was told later that the bill would be slightly higher, but when I got the bill for replacing my water heater, it was almost double. The initial rate itself was very high. I would recommend that you find another plumbing company. I think that they were unethical.
We switched HVAC providers at my old agency, starting to work with Duggan because of people I know there and their great reputation. Duggan Mechanical Services came through for us when we needed them most. In the middle of the summer, our HVAC system went down, and their team responded quickly and had us back up and running in no time. Their professionalism, expertise, and fast service made a huge difference during a stressful situation. We were thrilled with the results and highly recommend them.
