Rite Temp Cooling & Heating describes itself on Angi as a Peabody HVAC contractor ready to help with heating and cooling needs. In a 2013 review, a customer said Rite Temp was responsive and flexible in scheduling a weekend appointment, and that the technician, Henry, was professional, friendly and speedy. In a 2014 review, a customer said Henry and his partner came on time; when the A/C did not work the first time it was used, they were at the house the very next day and had it up and going. In another 2014 review, a customer said Henry showed up himself when his partner was held up at another job, and praised his timeliness, knowledge and efficient service on the AC unit. A 2014 review also said they were on time and explained everything that had to be fixed and the cost also. In a 2014 review, a customer described a water source heat pump replacement: after requiring full payment in advance, he ordered a new unit, the distributor reported it had been at its facility "quite a while", and once installed in the second week of September it was not heating or cooling properly; with no response to a request to come back, the customer brought in another contractor to repair it. In a 2014 review, a customer wrote of a pricey service call fee and a no show on a rescheduled follow-up, with no callback after a call to Henry. In a 2014 review, a customer said they tried to sell a new unit when it was a $10 part that was bad.

My ordeal with this contractor began in late June when a water source heat pump was not cooling properly. After a service visit that was not successful in solving the problem I decided to replace the unit due to it's age. After requiring full payment in advance, he ordered a new heat pump with a 6 week lead time. Around the time the unit was due to be delivered (late August) I contacted him a couple of times to determine status of order. When I received no response I contacted distributor who reported heat pump had been at their facility for "quite a while". There seemed to be no urgency to get the unit installed in spite of the fact that I had been without AC all summer. When the unit was finally installed during the second week of September it took a while to realize it was neither heating or cooling properly due to being between seasons. I called and requested him to come back to correct problems, after receiving no response I finally brought in another contractor who repaired unit which is now working properly. I have also found out that his price for the heat pump was considerably higher than I could have obtained from other contractors. I do not recommend this contractor.
he was very polite and well mannered... arrived in a timely manner.
They were quick and they got the job done at a fair price.
Showed up quickly and fixed the problem right away.
Prompt and efficient.
