About us

We've called Albany its home for close to 100 years! We know this town, its people and its homes. We are unique -an older community with specific needs when it comes to heating and cooling. We appreciate the tradition and history of Albany’s older homes. But just because our residences come from the era of the model T, doesn’t mean they have to run like one. Over time, we have become the experts in making sure an older home is running at peak efficiency when it comes to energy consumption. In order to properly diagnose your home’s needs, Farrell Brothers needs to look at its infrastructure, its duct work and air flow, insulation, windows and doors. All these things come into play when heating and cooling an older home. The biggest and best piece of equipment doesn’t always serve an Albany residence in the same way it would a brand new home.

Perfect!
Description of Work: I had two projects that needed attention, and the gentleman from Farrell Bros accomplished them both in the allotted two hours of the coupon. I wish I could remember his name -- he was on time, polite, thorough, friendly and explained everything very clearly to me. I've been needing an outside faucet for years, and he accomplished that, as well as changing the ancient leaking pipes under my kitchen sink. Very happy customer!

A great job. Use these guys!!!
Description of Work: Cliff from Farrell brothers replaced the shower faucet after I had rendered it unfixable with an attempt to install a new seat in the valve. He was very professional and courteous and gave me a price up front that did not change. I called the company at @ 10am and he was here by 2. Great company and I will definitely use them again.
