Heating and Cooling

Heating and Cooling, on Beacon Street in Brookline, holds an active Massachusetts HVAC license (398-SM-B) and a 4.9-star average from 11 Google ratings — a small sample, but a clean one so far. What stands out in the last few months is how specific the praise gets. One customer had a furnace repaired quickly by a skilled technician. Another describes a two-hour deep clean of a dust-clogged duct system that visibly opened up airflow through the house. A third compares the company favorably to a previous contractor after an AC installation, noting it coordinated smoothly with building management, explained each step, and finished without delay or a mess left behind. A separate maintenance visit covered the fundamentals — coil cleaning, filter replacement, an electrical check, and an airflow verification — the kind of tune-up that's easy to shortcut and wasn't here. Every review on record so far is five stars, and none flags a problem with the work itself. The catch is volume: 11 Google ratings is still a short track record to judge a contractor by, so it's worth asking for a reference or two if the job is a larger install rather than a routine repair or cleaning. For a furnace repair, a duct cleaning, or an AC install in the Brookline area, the license checks out and the reviews line up — just go in knowing the sample size is still small.
