E.P. Abely Co., Inc. presents itself as a Hudson, New Hampshire mechanical contractor with more than 30 years in business, led by president James Donlan. Its website says the company handles commercial, institutional, and industrial HVAC design, installation, service, plumbing, piping, sheet-metal work, and maintenance accounts. The New Hampshire OPLC record also shows an active MBE mechanical business entity licence for Edward P. Abely Co., Inc. The available customer history is very small: Google shows two ratings averaging 1.5 stars, with one written review. That July 2026 reviewer said the company provided rental housing for its crew during a Hanover project, then alleged an unpaid bill and unanswered calls, texts, and email. This is a specific negative account, but it concerns a payment dispute and lodging rather than the quality of HVAC work. The company site includes a client testimonial describing a complicated refrigeration project with large heating and cooling capacity, dehumidification, extensive piping, coordination, and completed milestones; because it is hosted on the company’s own site, it is self-published rather than an independent review. A 2025 federal case and a 2014 Massachusetts permit listing also identify the company, providing business context but not independent customer ratings. They appear best suited to commercial, institutional, or industrial HVAC work. Before booking, confirm the scope of residential service, payment and crew-lodging terms, and the specific licence and project references relevant to your job.
