Verified record
Hunter & Sons AC & Cooling is a Cambridge HVAC contractor whose named technicians — Hunter, Trenton and Jude — turn up across dozens of reviews describing furnace, AC, boiler, ductless mini-split and duct work throughout the area. The reviews describe fast response to no-heat and no-AC emergencies — a technician diagnosing a boiler issue and putting together a repair plan despite parts delays in mid-2026, another arriving within hours after frozen pipes damaged a furnace system. Multiple reviews describe the company recommending a repair instead of the full system replacement a competing company had pushed, and several describe multi-day installations switching a home from oil to gas or propane heat, including new gas lines and ductwork. A few things are worth flagging before calling. A June 2026 review states plainly that this isn't a real HVAC company but a lead-generation service that resells the call to a contractor — a serious claim that stands in contrast to the detailed, named-technician reviews elsewhere. Separately, a number of reviews describe being loyal customers of 20, 30, even over 30 years — but the written review history here only goes back to 2024, so those long-tenure claims can't be checked against anything on file. A 2025 review also described being turned away curtly for needing portable AC help rather than a fixed system. Given the mix of detailed, specific work descriptions and the unresolved question about whether every review reflects a direct customer of this specific company, it's worth confirming exactly who you're contracting with — ask directly whether Hunter & Sons handles the job itself or routes it to a subcontractor — before committing to larger installation work.

I had an excellent experience with this HVAC company for my AC repair and replacement. My air conditioner stopped working during a warm stretch in Cambridge, and I needed help fast. I had an initial diagnosis from another company, but the assessment did not feel right and the estimate was very high. After a friend recommended this team, I called and they were able to fit me in the same day. Hunter was professional, easy to talk to, and gave a diagnosis that made much more sense. The repair and replacement options were explained clearly, the estimate was much more reasonable, and the turnaround time was much faster than I expected. I decided to move forward with them, and within just a few days they had the new AC system ordered and installed. The whole team was prompt, knowledgeable, and respectful of my home. They made a stressful AC issue feel simple and manageable from start to finish. Great service, fair pricing, and quality HVAC work. Highly recommend.
I heard great things about this HVAC company, and I’m very happy with their communication and overall service. When I contacted them, they quickly gave me clear estimates that were better than other quotes I had already gotten. They also helped set an install date fast and gave honest advice about the heating system we really needed for the home. Hunter came out and replaced our old furnace with a new high-efficiency unit. After the installation, he walked me through the system, explained how everything works, and made sure I understood the thermostat, airflow, and basic furnace operation. He was professional, helpful, and easy to talk to. He also checked our fireplace issue and, even though the problem was not obvious during the first visit, he took the time to look into it further and plans to return with more information. I appreciated that careful approach instead of guessing. I strongly recommend them for HVAC service, furnace replacement, and heating system work. It’s also nice to support a smaller local heating and cooling business that provides honest service and quality workmanship.
Our AC stopped working, and that led us to replace the furnace as well. We chose to switch from oil heat to natural gas, so the job included running new gas lines along with installing a new air conditioner and furnace system. The whole HVAC upgrade was handled in a very professional way from start to finish. Everyone who came out was polite, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They clearly explained each step of the heating and cooling installation, answered our questions, and made sure we understood the full process. Each visit was organized and efficient, and the crew always cleaned up the work area before leaving. Now the new system is running great and our home feels much more comfortable. We are very happy with the service and workmanship, and we would absolutely use them again for future HVAC service and recommend them to friends and family.
I called about a strange noise from my heater when it kicked on, and i also noticed the blower fan was slow to start. The service tech confirmed the furnace was worn out and needed replacement. trenton came out, checked the system size, and explained that the current furnace was a bit too small for the home’s heating needs. He went over the replacement options, answered my questions, and gave me a clear quote for the new heater install. The installation was completed on schedule, the workmanship looks clean and professional, and the new heating system is running smoothly. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with throughout the whole heater replacement process. outstanding service and a very good experience.
We had a commercial furnace and HVAC system replaced, and I am very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend them for commercial furnace repair, installation, and heating work. Finding a contractor for commercial heating service was much harder than expected. Many companies I contacted for furnace repair and HVAC work were rude, overpriced, late, or stopped responding. Some wanted to charge just to give an estimate, some kept delaying the quote, and others did not show up at all. After a long search, my landlord found this team, and they were a completely different experience in a good way. Trenton was punctual and professional. He came to our restaurant in Cambridge right on time for the estimate, and the installation was completed within the time frame he explained. There was one schedule change, but he let us know ahead of time and clearly explained that it was related to local code requirements. The company was also very organized. The quote was clear, easy to review, and simple to approve online. Their pricing was fair and reasonable compared with other commercial heating contractors we contacted. Since the new furnace and HVAC unit were installed, the system has been running well and keeping the space comfortable. Overall, it was a smooth process, and we are happy with the quality of the commercial furnace service.
