Tognarelli Heating & Cooling is a Western Massachusetts HVAC contractor established in 1999 by Joel Tognarelli. Its website focuses on heat pumps, mini-splits, hybrid hot-water heaters, furnaces, and heating and cooling service, while directory records place the company in Greenfield and Gill. The recent written record is sharply mixed. A January 2026 customer says a $12,000 system never worked and alleges repeated unsuccessful follow-up; a 2024 customer describes a smooth heat-pump installation, clear explanations, strong communication, and help with the rebate process. Those two detailed reviews are the principal customer accounts available here, so they should be weighed individually rather than averaged into a broad reputation claim. Before booking, ask for a detailed equipment and commissioning scope, who will handle follow-up, and how warranty and rebate paperwork are managed. BuildZoom lists 25 permitted projects and several Massachusetts license records, including active sheet-metal #3180 and home-improvement #169133, but also inactive or unverifiable plumbing records that should be checked with the state. This may fit a homeowner comparing heat-pump or mini-split options, but the conflicting installation experiences make written protections and references especially important. Confirm the current license status, responsible technician, expected completion date, and remedy if the system does not heat or cool as specified.
“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!
