Verified record
Kensington Mechanical is a third-generation, locally owned HVAC and commercial refrigeration company serving Eastern New England. The company says Joe Blair founded its predecessor in 1984 and that it became Kensington Mechanical in 2009; its website describes installation, repair, and maintenance for commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Recent Google reviewers consistently praise the team’s responsiveness, technical explanations, and refrigeration work. Customers describe repairs to walk-in coolers and freezers, ice machines, counter refrigerators, and heating equipment, along with maintenance and installation. One restaurant customer said the company recommended against an uneconomical repair and did not charge for the assessment; another said the team arrived within hours, diagnosed a failed part, and restored heat the same day. The website states that service is available 24/7/365, including holidays, with no overtime charges, and that satisfaction is guaranteed if a problem is not fixed the first time. It also says technicians are licensed, insured, and continuously trained. Before booking, confirm the equipment covered, response expectations, warranty terms, and whether the requested work is commercial or industrial. Kensington looks like a strong fit for businesses needing HVAC or commercial refrigeration installation, repair, or maintenance, especially restaurants and other operations where downtime matters. Confirm the service scope and scheduling details for your location before authorizing work.

Kensington Mechanical is top-notch! Professional, reliable, and always deliver quality work. From start to finish, the team was responsive and respectful of our time and space. Highly recommend them for any HVAC or mechanical needs!
This was the 3rd time I called Kensington for a service call at my restaurant. Instead of charging me for a visit, they made recommendations on what to do before proceeding with any work! They are an honest company and Andrew is a great person to work with. I hope to give them some business in the future. Highly recommended!
Great company to work with. Fair prices and quality work.
The people at Kensington Mechanical always respond quickly and always do a super job on all our equipment. I can't imagine using anyone else for my refrigeration needs!
Andrew and his team have done an outstanding jib in handling all of refrigeration issues. We highly recommend them thank you Andrew!
