Tognarelli Heating & Cooling holds a 3.6 from 15 Google ratings. In a February 2024 review, a customer whose earlier contractors had not followed through said the process with Kristie and Joel was smooth from beginning to end. In a January 2026 review, a customer said they spent $12,000 on a system that was installed incorrectly and never heated or cooled the space; when they asked the company to look at it twice, they were told they were mistaken, and other companies they called described the installation as "criminal." The company says Joel Tognarelli founded it in 1999 and that it focuses on heat pumps, mini-splits, hybrid hot water heaters and gas furnaces in Western Massachusetts. Joel C Tognarelli's Massachusetts HVAC licence, 78-SM-M1, is active on the state registry. A June 2018 Daily Hampshire Gazette article reported that Sandri Energy acquired Tognarelli Heating & Cooling from Joel and Kristi Tognarelli. A February 2021 Recorder article dated that acquisition to 2017.
“Sandri expanded into the residential heating oil, commercial fuel and farm gasoline markets several decades ago, and now employs roughly 500 people and maintains about 65 gas stations. The company has acquired other local businesses over the years, such as Tognarelli Heating & Cooling in 2017 and Facey Plumbing and Heating in 2018.”
“Neal purchased the farmhouse-style building from Tognarelli Heating & Cooling for $200,000 in July 2021.”
“Sandri briefly dabbled in solar energy and in 2013 entered the propane business. Behn said propane is the company’s fast-growing division, with about 300 percent growth since it started. Sandri acquired Tognarelli Heating & Cooling in 2017 and Facey Plumbing and Heating the following year.”
“Sandri Energy also acquired Tognarelli Heating & Cooling from Joel and Kristi Tognarelli.”
“T.J. Thibeault pitched three scoreless innings and combined on a two-hitter with Drew Conant, Jacob Petrin, Luke Belhumeur and Ryan Cote as Tognarelli Heating & Cooling beat Smitty’s Pub, 8-3.”
We spent $12,000 on a system that was installed incorrectly and never worked. We asked them to come take a look twice to explain that the HVAC system never warmed or cooled the space and they just told us we were mistaken. I had the system looked at by several other companies who said that the installation was "criminal" and extremely negligent. At this point we need to pull the system and start over with new equipment from another company.
3-4 different techs have been out to my house over the years and none of them materialized (covid, unanswered emails, low staffing, incomplete assessments, little support on the rebate process, needed to hire my own electrician, etc). ). The process with Kristie and Joel was smooth and simple from beginning to end. On time, clear explanations, good advise to do the whole house option rather than 2 units, great communication. Kristie managed the entire rebate process which was the most intimidating aspect of it for me. I can't recommend enough. My water is hot, my basement is heated and my rebate check just arrived. Thank you so much!
