Gaudet Heating and Cooling

A homeowner replacing a mini-split system in 2022 got something they hadn't asked for: Gaudet told them about a rebate they didn't know existed, filled out the paperwork, submitted it, and tracked it until the check arrived. Somebody here actually works the rebate programs, and it keeps coming up — a December 2024 customer on a large, complex job singled out the office manager for doing the same thing with Mass Save. Gregg Gaudet has run this Mashpee shop since 2002 by the company's own account, about 24 years, and the Massachusetts registry confirms his HVAC sheet metal licence, 25378-SM-M1, as active under his own name. BuildZoom puts 41 permitted projects on that licence — 11 in 2025, 12 in 2024, seven in 2023 — at a typical permit value around $20,500. The sampled Falmouth and East Falmouth permits read like the daily work: Carrier furnaces and air handlers, Samsung and Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps, full insulated duct runs. That permit trail carries more weight here than the star count does. Google sits at 4.9 across 11 ratings, and the written record is short — eight reviews spread over four years, with none posted on BuildZoom at all. What is there is consistent: a March 2026 renovation client says the company did everything it said it would at fair pricing, and customers writing in mid-2025 describe quick responses on service calls and competent troubleshooting. The credentials on the site are the company's own: an Elite Carrier Provider, a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor, a Mass Save approved heat pump installer, working through Cape Light Compact and Coral instant rebates. The brands on its permits do match the dealer claims, which is more corroboration than most sites get. It also turns up in the Cape Cod Chamber's business directory. For an Upper Cape homeowner planning a heat pump or mini-split conversion who would rather have the rebate paperwork handled than handed over, this is a licensed shop pulling permits on that exact work most months. Ask for references on a job the size of yours — with a record this clean and this small, a couple of names will tell you more than the reviews can.
