# Flaherty Heating & Air Conditioning Inc

**Trade:** HVAC / Heating & Cooling · **Address:** 10 Independence Way, Brewster, MA 02631 · **Phone:** (508) 896-4700 · **Website:** http://flahertyhvac.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.5/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 3 sources.

## The honest read

Flaherty Heating & Air Conditioning traces back to 1984, when Kevin Flaherty founded it in Brewster and ran it himself for more than four decades.

Kevin passed away in November 2025 after a five-month illness, according to a tribute posted to the company's Google listing that reads as coming from a family member. That leaves an open question for anyone calling now — who's running the shop day to day, and whether service continues under the same name and standards.

There isn't yet a written account of actual HVAC work on file — no specific repair, installation, or service call described. The company's Google page shows 4.4 stars from 7 ratings, but the sole review on record is the tribute above rather than a job account.

Anyone considering Flaherty right now should call and ask directly who's operating the business post-transition, and confirm current staffing and scheduling before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Long-running shop — family-founded heating business since 1984

**Concerns:**
- Ownership in transition — founder died Nov 2025, current operator unclear

**Where sources disagree:**
- The only written review on file is a tribute to the late founder, not an account of work performed
