New England Air, Inc.

Thirty-eight building permits, and not one customer review anywhere. New England Air is a Foxborough commercial HVAC shop whose history sits in city permit files rather than star ratings. The company says it has been doing design-build heating, cooling, ventilation and refrigeration since 1988 — offices, hangars, schools, restaurants, industrial space — with 24/7 emergency coverage, and it names Foxborough and Boston as its territory. Its BBB profile puts the business start at 1989 and the staff at three. The work itself is documented. BuildZoom counts 38 permitted projects at a typical value near $36,200, seven of them in the last three years, spread across Attleboro, Hingham, Newton, Brookline, Malden and Norwell. Two are large by any measure: a $330,000 rooftop dry-cooler and air-conditioning replacement in Attleboro and a $230,000 industrial equipment-and-ductwork replacement in Hingham. That mix — building-scale mechanical replacements rather than quick service calls — is the clearest read on what they get hired for. Its Massachusetts HVAC sheet-metal licence, 977-SM-B, is active. What's absent is the check most homeowners start with. Nobody has posted a review on BBB or BuildZoom, and the bureau lists the company as Not Rated because it says it lacks enough information; it isn't accredited either. BuildZoom also shows two City of Newton sheet-metal registrations as inactive, having at one point been cancelled — municipal trade registrations, separate from the state licence, but worth a question if the job is in Newton. Call them for building-scale mechanical work: rooftop units, chillers, VRF retrofits, ductwork rebuilds. With no public review history to lean on, ask for references from jobs like yours, and confirm the current status of whatever registration the project actually needs.
