Forest Hills HVAC

Forest Hills HVAC works out of Roslindale, handling AC repair, mini-split servicing, and heating and cooling installation for homes in the neighborhood and out to Newton, Brockton, Quincy, and Cambridge. The company says it's been at it since 2012, putting it at about 13 years in business by its own account. The reviews cluster around two things: thoroughness and the same few names doing the work. In May, a customer with two long-neglected "through the wall" AC units had both cleaned and ready for summer in a couple of hours, with the technician diagnosing that repositioning and a coil spray would keep them running well. A few weeks earlier, another review described a mini-split job that went beyond routine maintenance: clearing clogged drains and servicing seven units and two condensers, called noticeably more thorough than the prior company's work. David turns up by name across nearly every review, and a separate directory summary notes Jose and Bob get called out too — a small crew where customers know who's showing up. Google has them at 4.8 stars from 18 ratings and Angi puts them at 4.9 from 11, with an Angi-approved badge attached. The last six months brought seven reviews and not one negative one. The one caveat that shows up in the reviews themselves: a customer on Angi mentioned being bumped a few times behind emergency calls during a non-urgent mini-split job, which they called fair given the circumstances but worth flagging if your own timeline is tight. It's also worth noting the overall review-sentiment reading runs a touch below what the star counts alone would suggest, hinting at some rougher edges the ratings don't fully capture. This reads like a small, hands-on shop built for AC and mini-split calls rather than a big-crew installation outfit — the website also lists some home remodeling and tiling work on the side, though that's not where the reviews or reputation sit. It's a reasonable call for a mini-split tune-up or an AC repair where you'd like the same technician back next time; worth confirming scheduling priority up front if you need a firm appointment window.
