It was a very good experience with Cooling Unlimited. They were the most thoughtful of three different companies we received quotes from about what our needs were. Dennis did a very good job assessing what was in our house and obviously gave a lot thought to how he installed things. When we went into the basement I was nervous we would lose head space during the unit installations, but Dennis was very responsive and made sure to tuck the ducts in so you did not notice them. We talked things over and when it came time for installation, we found a better place for the units. We now have one set of air handlers in the attic with vents going into each bedroom and bathroom through the ceilings and one in the basement with routed ducts to the floor throughout the first floor. Dennis' crew of two to three guys did a really good job. He was there the first day to make sure everyone knew where everything would go. They did a good job putting everything in and running it. The price was reasonable. Dennis went the extra mile for what I think was the best for our situation.
Description of Work: We used Cooling Unlimited to put the central air in our house. The guy who came to our house was Dennis Frazier.

This was a great experience. Cooling Unlimited's technician was first rate and explained everything that he was doing. He worked quickly and efficiently. He also gave us good advice about how to use our central air unit. We had been turning it off during the day; then the AC had to run for hours to take the inside temperature down from the mid-80s to the low-70s. He explained that letting the AC run for so long, continuously, damaged the system _and_ used more electricity. By keeping the air 6 degrees warmer (79) than we want it at night (73), the AC would take less wear and tear, and we'd use less electricity. All of this -- the quick response time, the good communication, and the helpful advice -- was very much appreciated.
Description of Work: We have a central air conditioner for our 2nd and 3rd floor condo, and it stopped cooling over the weekend -- leaving us baking in 90+ degree weather. I found Cooling Unlimited through Angie's List, contacting them on Sunday night through their website. The folks there wrote me back a few minutes later, setting up a service call for the next morning. The AC needed a new capacitor and was low on Freon. The whole system was then checked out, and we had cool air by noon. Amazing turnaround.

They were very punctual, both for the initial estimate as well as for the actual installation. The work was done very quickly and very professionally: they cleaned up afterwards and made sure their work was done properly. The installers were also personable, friendly, and willing to answer any questions. The system works exactly as described and we are very thankful they were able to perform the installation as quickly as they did.
Description of Work: Installed a mini-split system with one outdoor unit and two indoor connections.

Nice guy and if we ever have issues we would call him again even though he wasn't able to fix the problem.
Description of Work: Our central ac stopped working on 90 degree day. Our original installer couldn't come out so we found this company on AL. He was able to come out same day we called. He charged 130 to diagnose the problem. The issue ended up being a fuse on our condenser. He didn't have the fuse in his truck but we went to our own local hardware store to buy one. My husband was able to fix himself.

Even after the job was completed, their help with paperwork (we took advantage of MassSave intensives) was invaluable. Thank you!

Very good experience. Dennis came to do the estimate himself, and was very knowledgeable about the options. Team of 2 guys that came did a great job. The work was very successful in reducing the noise that had been traveling down into the building due to vibration. Cost was a bit more than I had hoped/expected, although was consistent with another estimate I got (which I also felt was rather high). They seemed a bit busy, and sometimes took a day to get back to me, but overall responsiveness was good.
Description of Work: Disconnected existing, roof-mounted A/C condenser, relocated it, and reinstalled, including use of vibration absorbers.

It took a few calls to get the project going but they were there on the appointed day and did a wonderful job. I would work with them happily again. So my recommendation is that if you are having trouble reaching them, stick with it because they are great to work with.
Description of Work: They added a duct to my forced-hot-air heating system to heat a new bathroom I am having installed. They worked well with my contractors after a little delay in reaching them and did a great job at setting up the heat duct. They worked for me before, installing zoning for my forced-hot-air system and I have been very happy with their services.

The old HVAC system was over 20 years old and even though it was still operational we didn't want to wait for an emergency to get it replaced, specially in the middle of winter. We requested quotes from several companies, but Cooling Unlimited was among the only ones that really understood our budget and quoted for the best system our money could afford. On every appointment they arrived on time (or even earlier) and finished the work as planned. The new furnace is working well. For the A/C, they said they would come back to tune it as soon as the weather is warmer.

I called them early on a Sunday morning. They called back within 30 minutes and arrived within 2 hours. The technician was polite and smart, and he was able to identify the problem and fix it quickly. He let us know that another company that we had paid to do routine maintenance had missed something important. He was professional and did fast work. The price seemed reasonable too for an emergency visit. Very good company.

From start to finish, our experience was fantastic. I left a message over the weekend to schedule my appointment and received a return call on Monday. Matt, our service technician, was very professional. He arrived on time and kept me informed on what he was doing or had done. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them again in the summer for our air conditioner maintenance. I can understand why they've won so many Angie's List awards!
Description of Work: Cooling Unlimited performed preventative maintenance on two furnaces. Additionally they tuned up our systems, performed a minor repair and adjusted air flow and changed filters.

Delivered as promised...Proffesional service from start to end...Would highly recommend...
Description of Work: I found this company on Angie's List. My own family is in the business and did not call them. A rep came out and was very professional and knowledgable. Had another company give a bit lower price but never got back to me on more than one occassion. BS artist out of Winthrop. This company helped me with the necessary forms needed for Nat. Grid and kept in contact with us. He set a date for the job and it went exactly as planned. Sent plumber in on Wed. to do the gas line as planned. Next morning heating system & parts showed up at 7:00 am followed by the crew shortly after. Converted from oil to gas system. Very efficient and no BS. Answered any and all of my questions and there were some...Did the install very neat, clean and proffesional. Took away the old system and cleaned up. Taped all of the duct work, some new and some older. Excellent work. I would hire this company again and recommend them with confidence to anyone needing this kind of service. Good to know that there are still companies out there who take pride in their work. Thank you Comfort Air for an awesome experience. Sincerely, Mike Dotoli Saugus, MA. 01906

Mark came out and was professional. He did seem knowledgeable in cooling systems and hydronic systems. However, we were surprised that he did not open up the condensers outside or look at them up close, like the other companies that gave us estimates. A week later we received their written proposal, estimates for 2 options and a professional company folder with information about the company. Their estimates were on the higher end and ranged from 6,600k - $9100 for different options to replace both condensers.

The sales and installation was very professional with good communication and documentation. Due to their volume, they were able to get units from Japan that other providers couldn't source quickly. We had two installers working for most of three days to do all aspects of the job. One of the five inside units didn't work on all functions. A repair person came out that day to thoroughly problem solve, fix it, and then test it several different ways. We are very happy with the process and results.

Cooling Unltd gets 2 thumbs up from us! With the recent heatwave, it was awful to return from vacation to discover our central ac was broken (high velocity system, 1955 Cape style house). I called about 6 places (all well reviewed by Angie's List, btw). This company was the only one with a prompt return call. The phone receptionist was helpful and professional. She didn't give me the vague dismissive attitude that the others did ("I don't know, we might get to you tomorrow or later this week. It depends"). Unbelievable! They had a cancellation and came within the hour. Matt was the tech and he very quickly diagnosed the blown capacitor. He quoted the price upfront, and was done with the job within 75 min. He courteously checked freon levels and pressures, and was fast, tidy and professional. The way a company treats the little jobs really shows their flavor, in my opinion. 137.95 for diagnostic/visit, $193 for capacitor. They're great.

The technician arrived and found that the blower motor and and capacitor were not working. The diagnosis took 45 minutes and cost $137.95 and was not credited towards the repair of the system which seems like a steep pricing structure. Their hourly rate is lower. Unfortunately, the parts could not be found locally and had to be ordered. The parts took 10 days (Memorial Day included) which was frustrating but no fault of Cooling Unlimited. Doreen continuously reassured me that she was doing what she could to push the vendor to work faster to get the parts out the door. The installation was scheduled quickly once the parts arrived. After installation, I found water leaking from the air handling unit after it ran during a particulalry hot afternoon. I called them back and they returned to find that the Puron level was low and likely causing the coil to freeze up leading to water overflowing the pan beneath it. They recharged it (cost: $140 - included in the $1100 total) and it has run fine ever since. I would have liked them to inspect the Puron charge or measure the temperature exiting the vents prior to leaving the first time to make sure everything was working properly and a return call was not warranted. Also, the bill contains no breakdown of labor and parts which makes it difficult to assess or compare vendors.
Description of Work: I called Cooling Unlimited to look at my central AC unit that was shutting on and off every few minutes as it was trying to cool my house and not actually cooling it.
