Prime Heating & Cooling is a heating and cooling company in Smithfield, RI, with a 4.8-star Google average across 753 ratings. On its website the company says it has been in business 20 years and handles air conditioner installation and repair, ductless systems and heat pumps; its stated service area runs from Smithfield and North Providence to Franklin, Bellingham, Attleboro and Mansfield. A recent Google customer said Mike was on time and explained the heating system so they are comfortable managing it. In a 2024 review, a customer described finding oil on the basement floor and calling Prime; within an hour a technician arrived, and James found a leak on the bottom of the 60-year-old tank and put a temporary patch in place. That 2024 reviewer wrote that Victor, Kevin, Luigi and Dan then removed the old tank and installed the new one in 2 1/2 hours and cleaned up the work area. A 2023 customer said Isaiah showed up on time and fixed the problem. On r/RhodeIsland, a recent commenter wrote that working with Prime had been a nightmare that introduced the family to air quality issues, and recommended against the company. A recent Reddit commenter who had Prime quote a mini-split install said they were shocked by how high the price was, while a different recent commenter said a Prime quote was relatively in line with other quotes.
“Working with Prime has been a nightmare for me, and introduced my family to air quality issues beyond what you can imagine. I would recommend against this company for that reason.”
“Had Prime out for a quote and they were relatively inline with other quotes.”
“Had Prime Heating & Cooling of RI some by this morning and give us a quote for installing a mini-split unit (Custom Comfort brand) and I was shocked by how high the price was.”
Mike was personable, knowledgeable, and on time. He explained our heating system to us so that we're comfortable managing it. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Prime Heating again.
Excellent! Service with a smile. Answered questions well. We’re ready for the cold weather. Thank you, Isaiah!
9/29/2026 Excellent customer service! Mike completed our annual furnace cleaning today, and we are extremely pleased with the service. He is exceptionally thorough, very professional, very polite, and he kept us informed throughout the process. After completing the cleaning and resolving some issues that he found, he gave us detailed information about the furnace and some recommendations which are very helpful! 1/19/2025 Excellent customer service once again! I called Prime Heating this morning about a possible problem with our oil tank. The technician who came to check the tank was polite, professional, and very thorough. Fortunately, no problems were found and we have an explanation for the issue for which we called Prime. First Review: We are new customers with Prime Heating & Cooling, LLC. Michael just finished our annual furnace cleaning and we are extremely pleased with the service. Michael was polite, thorough, and very professional. After completing the cleaning, he gave us detailed information about the furnace which was very helpful. Excellent customer service! 8/27/2024 Last Friday, we found a small amount of oil on our basement floor. The smell of oil was obvious and we assumed that there was a leak. The tank was 60 years old and it was clearly time for a replacement. We called Prime Heating & Cooling, explained the situation and within an hour a technician arrived. James found a leak on the bottom of the tank and was able to put a temporary patch in place. He was very polite, professional, and provided us with information about the process to have the tank replaced. I called the office and we were able to schedule the replacement for today. The technicians who were here today to remove the old tank and install the new tank did an absolutely outstanding job! Victor, Kevin, Luigi, and Dan completed the removal of the old tank and the installation of the new tank in 2 1/2 hours. They were all polite, professional, very hard working, and absolutely terrific! They also did an excellent job of cleaning up the work area. We are very pleased and very impressed with the work that was done today! Of note; I am extremely sensitive to oil and gas smells. I was a bit concerned about how bad the smell might be while the work was being done but remarkably there was only a faint oil smell and it dissipated within a few hours.
Isaish did a good job today, maintaining our systems. He was all business and efficient. Thank you.
Isaiah showed up on time, was courteous, respectful and fixed the problem. I highly recommend Prime Heating and Cooling.
