Verified record
Victoria Services is a family-owned HVAC and plumbing contractor based in Wakefield that says it's served Greater Boston and Middlesex County for more than 20 years, with technicians named Anderson and Sanderson who show up again and again across the reviews for the same kind of work: heat pumps, mini-splits, boilers, and water heaters. The specifics are the strongest part of the record. One customer had a boiler replaced during a snowstorm and called the crew fully professional; another needed a water heater installed on short notice and said Victoria was one of the only companies that even answered the phone. A tankless Navien water heater install, a same-day mini-split job, and a heat pump that replaced a system after 21 years with one HVAC company all get individually described, with reviewers naming Anderson and Sanderson specifically for being knowledgeable and quick. Neighbors on Nextdoor separately describe the company as unusually responsive compared to other HVAC outfits in the area. There's a more recent exception worth flagging: in a 2025 review, a customer with a refrigerant leak said Victoria was accommodating at first but then difficult about scheduling a look at the system, eventually getting on the calendar after some back-and-forth. That's a real contrast with the company's reputation for fast response on new calls, and it's worth asking about directly if you already have equipment with them and something goes wrong. The company lists general contractor, HVAC, plumbing and sheet metal license numbers on its own site, none of which are independently verified here — worth confirming directly if that matters to you. For a heat pump, mini-split, boiler, or water heater job in the Wakefield/Middlesex County area, Victoria's track record on the mechanical work itself is strong and specific.

“Neighbors highlight the team as “super responsive,” noting they were the only HVAC company to answer after calling many in North Shore Boston.”
I had an issue with my AC last Summer, the system was leaking refrigerant and I ended up shutting it down. While accommodating at first, Victoria was difficult about scheduling me to come out and take a look at my system. They eventually got me on the calendar. When the day came, they told me they were running late. A couple hours passed and they told me they would be here soon. An hour later, they finally showed up. We had agreed upon a price for them to test my system for leaks. This would have entailed clearing the lines and the indoor coil, charging them with nitrogen, then coming back days later to see if they had leaked. The “technician”, who was actually the owner, Anderson, took a brief look at my system and told me the lineset was “fine”, without doing anything. You can’t just “proclaim” them to be fine without doing the testing. His son Sanderson (not making that up), texted me with an utterly ridiculous quote to fix my system. “Quote” might be an overstatement, it was more like “this is the price, if you are fine with it I’ll give you a quote”. What??? The price basically amounted to about $5,000 in labor for what, by industry standards should be a straightforward job of less than one day. He also suggested the blower in my system might need to be replaced. Neat trick, Anderson didn’t so much as turn the system on, if he had he would have discovered the blower works fine (and had been all heating season). He also added a new thermostat to the quote without ever looking at mine (which didn't need to be replaced) I asked them if they could come back and test the system properly. No response. I asked them some details about the pricing, no response. Like so many of these guys now, they want clients who don’t ask any questions and are willing to pay any inflated price they come up with. If you are too much trouble, they just ghost you move on to the next chump. Victoria wasted weeks of my time, weeks that I could have been using to find someone to actually do the job correctly.
An Absolutely Outstanding Experience with Victoria's Finest HVAC (The Sanderson/Anderson/Sam Family!) Firstly, from giving you a quote you see a breakdown of everything with a little profit. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough! From start to finish, our experience was exceptional, and it's clear why they're so beloved in the community. As a family business, you truly feel the personal touch in every interaction. When you deal with this company, you're not just getting skilled technicians; you're getting genuine, friendly people. The fact that Sanderson, Anderson, and Sam are all part of the same family truly shines through in their cohesive and caring approach. They are all incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and a pleasure to have in our home. A testament to their integrity: I actually made a mistake and accidentally paid in full for our new heat pump upfront. While it was my oversight, it made absolutely no difference to their service or timeline. They treated us with the same professionalism and dedication as if we were just making a deposit, which speaks volumes about their honest and customer-focused practices. Beyond their technical expertise, their staff is the friendliest we've encountered in any service industry. What truly set them apart, however, was their thoughtfulness regarding our newborn. Without us even asking, every single member of their team, from the initial consultation to the final installation, wore masks when inside our home. This small but significant gesture demonstrated an incredible level of care and consideration for our family's well-being. If you're looking for an HVAC company that combines top-tier service, family values, and genuine care, look no further. You won't be disappointed!
For 21 years I’ve had one HVAC guy that took care of all my HVAC needs. This year my system broke yet again and I’ve decided to look for a new one (system and installer). Victoria Services Inc. Heating & Cooling came highly recommended by a friend of the family and I called them for an estimate. I didn’t know which way to go, gas, gas and electric or pure electric. Sanderson came promptly and after checking out my system and hearing my wishes, he explained pros and cons of every heat option without favoring one or the other. He came up with a complete estimate along with a plan of work to be performed and recommendations for Energy Assessment to obtain $10000 rebate from my energy supplier and complete roadmap to obtain a 0% interest loan for the remainder. All of that was supported with professional emails and documents. He also created a group message with him, me and his father, Anderson who was doing the actual installation. A day before the work was to begin, Anderson came by and rechecked everything to finalize and prepare necessary supplies, and also their delivery service delivered the new system and set it in my driveway. On the day of the beginning of the installation Sam (another brother) and Anderson and John (an employee) came in, brought all the tools and additional equipment, and started from spreading the protective paper on my basement floor not to damage or dirty my floor. That immediately showed me the professionalism and care that is fostered in Victoria Services Inc. Heating & Cooling. They removed my old system and the next day their junk removal service took it away early in the morning. They poured new professionally done base for outside unit unlike the flimsy one I had before. Anderson takes a lot of care and pride in his work. He replaced piping and tubing that was out of code, he asked me again and again of my preference on different aspects of installation. They removed my old thermostats and installed new modern WIFI capable ones and helped me with setup and coached me on how to operate them. On the last day, while Anderson was finishing up, Sanderson came again and helped me with rebate paperwork as well as provided documents for a completed install. Conclusion: I am extremely happy with the service and work provided by Victoria Services Inc. Heating & Cooling and will recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you, Victoria Services Inc. Heating & Cooling, Anderson, Sanderson, Sam and John, you guys are real gentlemen,
Between the customer service, the excellence in the work, and communication, 5 stars feels like it should be an insult to them. By far the best HVAC and plumbing I’ve worked with since I’ve been in the industry. Will definitely be working exclusively with them. Both Sanderson and Sam are a joy to work with!
It is such a thrill to be able to come into a cool home when outside is so hot and humid. The team was very responsive and professional. They did a great job, kept everything clean and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend them.
