GSR Heating & Cooling Corp is Gustavo Soares Ruela working HVAC jobs around Lawrence, MA — mini-split installs come up again and again in his reviews. He describes himself as having three years of experience focused on heating and cooling work, and Thumbtack lists him as background checked. In a May 2025 review, a customer who'd bought their own mini-split unit says Gustavo walked them through the quote and installation, showed up on time, and had the unit running well by the end of the visit. A December 2025 review recommends him by name for a mini-split job, praising him for returning calls and texts quickly and showing up as planned. Other reviews, most from 2025, describe him as professional and knowledgeable on heating and cooling work and say his rates are fair. In a July 2025 review, a customer says that after asking Gustavo about his license and insurance, he stopped responding; he later told them he is not licensed and is still in school, and did not provide proof of insurance when asked again. For a straightforward mini-split or HVAC install, reviewers describe him as responsive and capable — given the July 2025 account, ask directly about licensing and insurance and get it in writing before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Gsr Heating & Cooling Corp. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$5,000 – $11,400
Typical HVAC project around $8,200
I’d like to recommend Gustavo Soares Ruela of GSR Heating & Cooling at 617-712-5555 who just installed some mini splits in my home. What I look for in any contractor are three things - Reliability, Skill, and Fairness. Reliability means you can reach him by phone or texts; he responds quickly to all questions; he shows up as planned; he is there if there re any issues; he does what he says he will do Skill means he knows his business; he has the ability and talent to do the job he is assigned. Fairness means his costs are fair for the job and he doesn’t jack up prices just because he can; he saved me money in this mini-split installation. Gustavo has all three of these traits. I strongly recommend you consider him for any HVAC type job concerning heat pumps, mini-splits, AC installations, etc.
Had him come out to quote me for a mini split job. He was very nice and helpful; however, after I asked about his license and insurance, he stopped responding. He eventually told me that he is not licensed and is still in school, but does have insurance under his company. I asked him to provide me proof, but I have been ignored since. Might have good reviews, and probably DOES do a good job; however, isn't licensed and doesn't seem to be insured since he refuses to provide evidence.
Gustavo came through and fixed everything with total professionalism and integrity. You can tell he really knows his stuff. Honestly, he’s excellent — I highly recommend him!
I have used this Gustavo for my home HVAC system and was happy with his services. He was professional and has fair rates. I would definitely recommend as needed.”
Gustavo was excellent! Very professional, well spoken and very knowledgeable about everything we needed for our project. I would not hesitate to hire him again and have already passed his card out to my friends in need of hvac work. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
