At 7:45 on a December 2025 morning, with the overnight temperature down to 11 degrees and no heat in the house, a customer of fifteen years called Total Temperature Control. Dominic was there in twenty minutes and had the furnace running inside the hour. That is the call this Wakefield company is built around. John and Amele Ambrosino have grown it from a two-person operation in 1990 into a business the Better Business Bureau records as 17 employees with its own technicians, plumbers and electricians, open around the clock, and its Massachusetts sheet metal licence, 217-SM-B, is active. The technicians get named constantly: Mike Blanchard, Brandon, Kyle, Dominic, Javier, Jason, Chad, John A., and Hannan on the phones. What customers write about is less the repair than the explaining. A May 2025 customer said Brandon wrote down every observation and told her plainly that her 23-year-old unit ran on an older refrigerant and what that meant; another that month noticed he was careful about the carpets with his boots. In March 2025 a homeowner had a gas leak fixed over a weekend and the furnace tested afterwards, and another was lent two space heaters while she waited for her heat pump to arrive. In October 2025 a customer with an allergist-confirmed mould allergy was pointed to an environmental company for the duct cleaning rather than sold the job. The bigger installs are here too. A 2022 customer who bought a whole-house ductwork system with two heat pumps and air handlers said problems came up, as they do on a job that size, and that John and his team stayed with it until it was right. Two things to weigh before calling. In September 2025 a customer posted an update saying both of their units were completely down rather than merely noisy, and that the project had cost them $300,000. And twice, in July 2022 and October 2025, one-star reviews have been left about how a company vehicle was driven, one describing road rage. For an emergency — no heat in a cold snap, a dead condenser mid-heatwave, a gas smell at the weekend — this is a number that gets answered, and you will know the name of whoever turns up. For a full system replacement, agree in writing what commissioning and follow-up visits are included before the equipment is ordered.
These people have been taking care of our furnace and AC for fifteen years. This morning, at 7:45, I called them with a serious problem—no heat during the night, when the temperature plummeted to 11 degrees. They had Dominic here in twenty minutes, and in less than an hour he had us warm again. They are great.
We recently became new clients of Total Temperature Control and are beyond impressed. From the very first call, their team was incredibly responsive and able to get us scheduled quickly — which we appreciated so much. Our technician, Mike, arrived right on time and was friendly, professional, and so easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly, didn’t try to upsell us on anything, and made the entire process feel seamless. The pricing was extremely reasonable, especially given the quality of service. It’s rare these days to find a company that is honest, reliable, and genuinely cares about their customers, but Total Temperature Control truly stands out. We’re so grateful to have found them and will absolutely be clients for life. Highly recommend!
I almost never leave a review but had to make an exception for Brandon and Total Temperature Control. This might sound over the top but this is the happiest I've been with any HVAC company in the last 10 years. I've tried many of the bigger name companies you see the vans for or hear the commercials and they have consistently misdiagnosed or threw parts at my system. This was the first time I feel like a company and tech have actually listened and really figured out what was wrong. The price of the repair even came in a bit lower than I thought. Thanks to their staff Brandon, Hannan, Lisa (and John who I think I first talked to). Y'all rock!

After developing a mold allergy confirmed by my allergist, getting sick, and having a professional mold tester advise me to get the HVAC vents and ducts cleaned in my new home, I spoke to Hannan Ali at Total Temperature Control. They referred me to an environmental company that cleaned the HVAC ducts and vents. Before and after photographs were taken, showing that the developers Andy and Jane Knott's contractors, had left construction debris, dirt and dust in the system during and after the new construction of the home. I followed all of the other recommendations suggested by Total Temperature Control including changing filters, adding air purifiers, using a dehumidifier, using the house fan setting and running the AC more during the warmer months. There was an improvement, however the presence of condensation on multiple interior windows remained a concern. The owner John J. Ambrosino and his service manager John J. Ambrosino followed up with a 1.5 hour thorough inspection of my home and systems. They had technician Brandon Hackesly install i-wave technology to better circulate air flow in the HVAC systems. They also had their electrician confirm their finding that the master bedroom bathroom exhaust fan was never vented outside. This was a building code and health code violation that was either missed or not found during final building inspection. Repairs were made and conditions improved. If not for the help from Total Temperature Control, everyone in the home would still be breathing in unhealthy air and likely suffering more long-term mold allergy, asthma and lung damage. The Total Temperature Control team went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you John J. Ambrosino.
