Lohrman HVAC

Fifty years in the same town, still under the same family name. The BBB's file on Lohrman H.V.A.C. opens in November 1975, the company incorporated in 1977, and the management line reads William Lohrman as president, Susan Lohrman as treasurer, and Steven Lohrman running service — seven employees working out of one shop on Breed Avenue in Woburn. The work is heating and cooling for houses and small commercial buildings, and the equipment list runs wide for a shop that size: oil burners and oil furnaces, gas units and gas furnaces, hot water systems, radiant heat, heat pumps, central air conditioners and ductless splits. For an older oil-heated house north of Boston, that range is the point — the same crew can service what's there and quote what replaces it. What's absent is the customers' side. The BBB grades the company A+ and notes it is not BBB accredited, but no customer reviews or complaint counts appear there, and its Procore page is an unclaimed stub listing nothing beyond the Woburn address, the phone number and the trade. A shop that has stayed in one family and one town for five decades has already outlasted most of its competition. Ask for two or three recent local references and confirm who will actually be on the job — with no written homeowner accounts anywhere, that conversation is what you'll be deciding on.
