In 2024 I had Alpine Heat pump install mini-splits at my home in Worcester through Mass-Save. Jason…read morethe sales rep was very dishonest and unprofessional. He (jason) never took out a permit through the City of Worcester. I was notified by city inspector in December 2024. Additionally Jason(Alpine) charged me for four(4) mini-splits and I only recieved three(3) and one(1) condenser. Jason came to my home and I complained to him about mini-splits turn on in the off position. He(jason) stated he would put in a work request ASAP. I didnt here anything for a month until I posted a negative review with Mass-Save and BBB.Do not do business with this company! they are SHADY.

The owner loaned to me a space heater until the job was complete. I only have one request from the company to use drop cloths as not to make a mess on their future projects. The owner, Chris was in touch with me from beginning to end of the project. I appreciated that very much. The two technicians that came over to the house were very polite and helpful. Will I continue doing business with this company? Of course I will and I think you could too. I would like to keep a good relationship with this company.

Our furnace decided that it was time to quit. No notice! I have a home daycare and needed heat in…read morethe brutal cold snap that was happening. I called MANY heating contractors and no one had an opening- especially since we were not prior customers. Finally, my luck changed, and someone referred us to Hurley Mechanical. So glad that they did! When the company heard that we had no heat, they were at our home in a few hours. They installed a new furnace as quickly as they could get one. The team was courteous, professional, clean, and efficient! I consider the pricing of a brand new furnace and labor costs very fair. Right now I'm finally warm and content :-)

I found myself out of town with an empty propane tank and a big early March n'or easter snowstorm…read more looming ....and even if I could get the tank filled, my heater furnace was malfunctioning following the ice storm and power outage. Yikes! I called McDonalds and spoke with Ryan who was to my great relief delightfully friendly and reassuring. Within a couple of hours, just ahead of the big snowstorm, Ryan had the tank topped off and the furnace warming the place before my water pipes were at risk. All this was very appreciated and provided peace of mind. Superb customer service! I am now a customer for life!

I had a specialized HVAC system custom designed and installed by RJ. McDonald in Barre, MA in 2023…read moreat a cost over $18,000. Overall, I was satisfied with the installation, aside from a few configuration changes they made that didn't match how my previous system's backup switch operated. While it took some getting used to, it wasn't a major issue, and I was otherwise happy with the system. Last night, my system developed what appeared to be a minor ignition issue. I called the company's after-hours service line and left a message. Robin, the on-call representative, returned my call promptly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the conversation quickly became disappointing. Before I could fully explain the problem, I was interrupted and told that the company showed I had not purchased propane from them within the past year. I was then informed that, despite spending thousands of dollars on a custom system they designed and installed, they would not service it unless I was buying propane from them. What was most frustrating was not just the policy itself, but the way it was communicated. The tone came across as annoyed and condescending, making me feel like my business and prior investment meant very little. When you spend over $18,000 with a company for a specialized heating system, you reasonably expect that they will at least provide service or support when an issue arises. If this is RJ. McDonald's policy, it should be made very clear before customers invest in one of their systems. I understand businesses can prioritize customers in different ways, but refusing to service equipment they installed simply because I purchase propane elsewhere is disappointing and, in my opinion, poor customer service. Based on this experience, I would encourage anyone considering a custom HVAC installation to ask detailed questions about future service policies before signing a contract.
