Semper Mechanical, INC.

Semper Mechanical is a Beverly, Massachusetts HVAC company that shows up on the list when an air conditioner dies mid-heatwave or a furnace quits on a snow day. Its Google page holds a 4.9-star average from 83 ratings, and its Massachusetts HVAC license is active with the state; the Better Business Bureau rates it A+. Two technicians, Dan and Karl, come up by name again and again in the reviews, requested by return customers for maintenance visits. The last six months show a company that gets to jobs quickly and keeps the price honest. One homeowner called Friday about a dead A/C system and had a new one running by Monday. Another had a furnace replaced for a price quoted 10-15% under a competing proposal for the same job. A third caught what a different HVAC company had misdiagnosed - a fan motor the other shop wanted to replace outright - and watched Semper fix a wiring error and run a chemical cleaning in under 90 minutes instead, for a fraction of what they'd already paid chasing the wrong fix. Mini-split and ductless work comes up often: a deep clean of an 11-year-old set of Mitsubishi units with mold buildup, coolant-line shrouding re-secured after a maintenance visit, a new thermostat installed alongside a furnace repair. Not every job has gone smoothly. In June, one reviewer said a mini-split Semper installed five years ago has needed repeat service roughly every two years, with the company pointing to the house's insulation rather than the equipment - an explanation the reviewer didn't buy. In March, an Angi reviewer described a snowstorm furnace-blower repair where a promised same-day part never showed up, and where they were billed over an hour of labor for what they say took ten minutes. Both are worth raising directly if your situation looks similar. For a routine AC or furnace repair, a ductless install, or seasonal maintenance in the Beverly/North Shore area, 84 reviews across eight sites since 2020 back up the reputation for speed and fair pricing. If you're dealing with an older or already-troublesome system, ask upfront how they'd diagnose it and get the labor billing spelled out before they start.
