Heating and Air Conditioning, Heating Oil, Water Heaters
About us
My name is Tom Mull of Mull Bros. Oil, a family-owned heating and cooling company in Wethersfield, Connecticut, where I was born and raised. There’s no doubt that you have seen many changes with the heating oil industry in the past decade or so.
While many companies have given up or, out of desperation, have changed their business philosophies, we intend to be here for a long time. As a matter of fact, we’ve been around for over 60 years. My father, Bill Mull, started this company in 1945. At a time when stove-oil was in great demand and #2 fuel was being introduced as a home-heating fuel, Bill decided to get in to the delivery business. In the early 1950’s many oil burners were being installed on coal furnaces. Being mechanically inclined, Bill learned the art of installing and servicing the many styles of oil burners and heating systems.

Tom's crew were great , they were on time everyday. I could not believe how neat they were considering all the cutting and work they had to do. The guys were very polite and I was comfortable with everyone. Tom answered all our questions and was very honest, we would have them back anytime. Thank You, Lou & Karen Faraci
Description of Work: . Tom came to my home to let me know what I needed and how much it would cost. Tom and his crew were installing a 3 ton centeral air-conditioning system.

I signed up for maintenance service for an old A/C to see if a cleaning and recharge might pick up an old central air unit that wasn't keeping up with the heat and humidity of this summer. I was worried that it might be totally shot. I signed up on AL and then called the office as instructed. The receptionist explained to me that we would receive a call at 8:30 on Monday and they would schedule an appt for either that day or Wednesday, based on the # of problems that were called in over the weekend. They also said that based on my symptoms they might have to add some freon and that it would cost be whatever $/lb for one of two types if it was required. They called right at 8:30 on the dot and set up a window around lunchtime. Anthony came out right around noon and was excellent. Took care of the system and added a little coolant, and the unit works great again. We received a bill in the mail a few days later for the balance, and everything went as expected .... no surprises, excellent job!

Terrible. Would never use or call again! Unprofessional. Not even courteous enough to return 2 VMs and a detailed email requesting quotes to have a lot of work done. Maybe if you beg them, they will come to work for you....
Description of Work: I left two VM messages and sent a detailed message to Tom but it was to no avail. I was seeking estimates on replacing a 25 y/o furnace, installing central air conditioning, and cleaning/repairing a wall mounted 18,000 BTU air conditioner. Tom did not provide me with the courtesy of a return phone call or email. Now these are my neighbors just down the same road as I live on and they snubbed me. I even mentioned this in my email to Tom. Even if they weren't (it just adds insult to injury), I think it is very unprofessional not to return two voicemails or a detailed email from anyone at this company. Clearly if they can snub my requests for replacing a furnace and installing central air, they probably have bigger and better things to do than to do your job too. I wouldn't ever think of calling them again based upon my initial experience. I've had responses from really small companies from Angie's List that weren't equipped to do all that I wanted done who were ever so courteous about returning my calls and even recommending companies who might be able to help me. Mull Brothers - No Way!!! I don't beg anyone to do large jobs for me. Contractors in all areas are a dime a dozen!

I called and talked to Tom. I told him what I needed and he told me that he was overbooked due to the current heatwave. He then continued to talk to me for 15 mins about how I could possibly solve the problem on my own or wait a couple weeks for him to get available. Tom knew what he was talking about. I wish all companies had people like this in charge. We are going to wait the 2 weeks. Sometimes you have to wait for good things

Central AC stopped working during 90+ degree heat wave. Call several HVAC companies, with little response. Some told me it would 5 days before they could come. Mull Brothers call back soon after I left a message and told me they could come between 1 and 2 in the afternoon, and they were here between 1 and 2, closr to 1. They went right to work, found the problem, had to go get the part and wihtin a hour and a half the AC system was up and running. They were very professional, courtious and I highly recommend them. I will not hesitate to use them in the future.
Description of Work: Central AC stopped working during heat wave. Compressor not running, one terminal had shorted out, replaced all 3 wires, ran and tested.. They were very professional

We could not have been more pleased with the professionalsim, knowledge and work ethic of these fellas. They were prompt, focused anddid more than originally asked for BUT it was needed. They were courteous and polite and cleaned up after themselves. Will DEFINATELY hire them again.Also, thinking of signing up fortheir oil service in the coming months. (they informedusthey dooil burner work also).
Description of Work: They retaped the ducts where needed. Adjusted blower for more strength. We had issues with poor air flowand they did various things to imporve the air out-put. Also performed minor maintenance that was not originally asked for but was needed. The result of all their work resulted in improved / stronger air flow. We were VERY pleased with their workmanship,professionalism and knowledge. I state this with knowledge from work done by different companies last year. These guys beat all previouscompanieshands down.

The woman I spoke to was very helpful in getting service men to our home on the same day. The men were prompt and worked efficiently. My only complaint was that before my husband came home the service technicians spoke to me and I was able to provide them with answers. Once my husband came home, they switched to talking to him. Make sure you figure out in advance what service you will need if you plan on using/purchasing the coupon BEFORE the visit or it will not apply.
Description of Work: Diagnostic to determine why central A/C was not functioning. The men found a frayed wire and replaced it.

They were a pleasure to do business with. If the rest of the team is like Anthony, chances are you'll be satisfied as well.
Description of Work: Had a problem with my central air and called Mull Brothers. Anthony came out and not only fixed my problem in short order but also explained the basic maintenance I should be performing and things to keep an eye on as I use my system. He was very professional knowledgeable and a down to earth guy that was a pleasure to deal with. He was on time and didn't rush through the appointment. I would use these guys again when I experience a need for service in the future, including bigger service calls or equipment replacement.

Tom Mull and his employees did a fantastic job installing central air in our home. I received estimates from a number of firms before choosing Mull Bros. Generally, when I speak with service providers, I am very cautious and focus on two things, in addition to price: quality of service and honesty (which is critical). After talking to several firms, I chose Mull Bros because I felt most comfortable with them on both fronts. Tom patiently answered all of my questions, both during his initial visit and when I called him after reading other proposals. His employees were very professional throughout the installation, and his electrical contractor did a great job too. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. I feel as though it is rare to find a trustworthy, high quality service provider with excellent customer service. I'm happy to say that I signed on with Mull Bros as a heating oil customer too.

I'll summarize my experience with Tom from Mull Brothers here and explain in detail below for anyone interested. These are facts: -Tom from Mull Brothers was late to our appointment -Tom Parked in neighbors driveway -Tom left less than five minutes after arriving late -Tom's Jeep has a wheel cover that says "W**" in big letters -Tom's appointment with me was at 2pm. His next appointment was at 2:40pm Does the above sound like a professional you would like to hire? Here are the details: I contacted Mull Brothers for a bid to convert my multifamily duplex from oil to gas. I also want to add a larger water heater and some additional gas lines for gas stoves. Our appointment was set for 2pm on April 4, 2012. I contacted Mull Brothers because they had good reviews on Angieslist. Unfortunately, my experience with Tom from Mull Brothers was aggravating and unpleasant for several disappointing reasons. I will list all of those reasons here for your benefit when considering Mull Brothers for your job.Firstly, Tom arrives seven minutes late: an admission he makes in the voicemail he leaves at my place of business.Secondly, He parks his jeep in the neighbor's driveway out of our site. Thirdly, he rings the disabled doorbell (due to solicitors) on my front door, which to his defense he did not know about. Regardless, he admits to seeing my wife and daughter in the front window, yet did not think to wave at them or wait a few minutes (three). After seeing him, my wife informs me of his arrival. I walk out of the side door of my duplex to meet him while I'm on the phone with his office to find out his status. By the time I get to the front of the duplex (1 minute maybe) he's gone. I notice a jeep at the stop sign speed around the corner with a large wheel cover on the back labeled "W**", but no Tom. Mull Brother's office tells me they find Tom and connect him with me. We have a heated discussion which results in his disqualifying himself from my business with reasons four and five: Fourthly, he confirms that indeed it was his jeep with the wheel cover labeled "W**" in big letters, and; Fifthly, he left to arrive at a 2:40pm appointment after being late to our 2pm appointment. I am a business man working out of downtown Hartford, CT. The question remains: Does the above sound like a professional worthy of your business?
Description of Work: No services were performed because Tom from Mull Brothers was late to appointment and left before he could provide me a quote.

Tom came over to access the job and give us an estimate shortly after our initial call. He was right on time and was extremely informative and knowledgeable. Since there was an addition to the house, running duct work was going to be a challenge, but Tom explained the entire process including the anticipated difficulties. We accepted his proprosal on the spot and work began the following week. Tom assured me that their work was meticulous and that there was an emphasis on keeping the home as clean and dust-free as possible. We were so pleased to find that was true. Technicians Sal & Anthony were fantastic. They arrived each day at the time they stated and were very personable and unobtrusive. They made sure to clean up at the end of each day, including vaccuming the floors. At the end of the project all of their tools and trash were picked up like they were never here. We didn't have to do a thing. Tom was here every day to check on the progress and work right along with the guys. When all was done, Tom showed us how everything works and tolds us not to hesitate to call with any questions or problems. We couldn't be happier. and highly recommend Mull Brothers. In fact, we plan to use Mull Brothers again to do an oil to gas conversion at my daughter's home!

Called Mull Bros for an estimate on A/C options. Tom Mull came out yesterday- at the time scheduled-- and gave us a very thorough evaluation of A/C options. We've yet to receive an estimate, but will likely do business with this company if the price is right. I will follow up on services/completion if applicable.

Bob Mull discussed options and quoted a couple of different systems. Quick response, job was done two days after contracted. Job was done very professionally. Crew arrived on time, did the work without any damage and cleaned up. Price was the best of the three quotes that I got and Bob provided paperwork needed to apply for an available High Efficiency Heating & Cooling Rebate. I would definately recommend Mull Bros and would use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced existing heat pump system. Installed new outside compressor unit on new pad, installed new air handler in basement. Fabricated and installed new plenum box, connected system to existing duct work. Ran new line set and hooked up electrical. Plumbed new condensate pump and installed new thermostat.

This company was my first choice for an oil boiler replacement. They met me quickly, educated me and gave me they best price estimate. We eventually decided to take on the additional expense and convert to natural gas. Something we hadn't considered until another person asked if we already had natural gas coming into the house. Since the Mull Brothers seemed interested in also becoming my oil provider (reasonable expectation I guess) I did not check back with them to see if they also do gas conversions.
Description of Work: Came in and looked at my boiler, oil tank and 1st floor radiators. Discussed my needs and gave me an estimate.
