## The honest read

In February 2025 part of a vent system came down in a homeowner's cellar, and more than a dozen HVAC companies would not touch the job because the system was old. McFarland dropped what they were doing, drove down from north of Boston and were there an hour later. That is the shape most of these reviews take: the call nobody else wanted, answered fast.

Clint McFarland runs the company with a small team — a January 2025 customer names Lou working alongside him — and takes both home and business work. Google shows a 4.4 average across 19 ratings.

The emergencies are what customers write about. In June 2024 a Peabody homeowner's mother lost her air conditioning at the start of a heat wave; Clint came on a Sunday morning, diagnosed it, and had new parts in and the system running the next morning, telling her the old unit did not need replacing. In July 2024 another household had central AC brought back mid heat wave. In May 2024 a business owner whose weekend depended on it had the fault fixed within a few hours. In January 2025 a customer who badly needed heat had it the same morning. In February 2025 another said Clint found the heating fault quickly and made a point of explaining the repair as he went.

The commercial side is real: two rooftop air-conditioning units at a Malden beauty supply and salon in July 2025, work at a Somerville bar, and a customer who has come to rely on him for refrigeration and air-conditioning repairs at both a business and a home. In May 2024 a customer had an air conditioning system replaced at what they called a really good price.

One review is about conduct rather than the work. In February 2026 a customer left one star saying he had messaged their fiancée with remarks they found inappropriate and unprofessional. It is a first-hand account and it is specific, so weigh it as you would any other; it is also worth agreeing up front who will be at the property and how you will be contacted about the job.

For a heating or cooling emergency — heat gone overnight, AC dead in a heat wave, an old system other companies will not work on — McFarland picks up and turns up. For a planned replacement, get the quote in writing with the model numbers before anything is scheduled.

**Strengths:**
- Emergency turnout — on site an hour after a 2025 cellar vent collapse
- Old systems taken on — a job a dozen companies had refused
- Weekend calls — Sunday diagnosis, parts fitted the next morning
- Repair over replacement — 2024 customer told the old unit could stay
- Commercial cooling — rooftop units, bar and refrigeration work

**Concerns:**
- Conduct complaint — a 2026 one-star review reports inappropriate personal messages
