They're easy to schedule and do business with, show up when they say they will and are very knowledgeable. While most company's might jot down a bullet of what they performed, these guys take you through their process from start to finish: What they did, what they saw and how they fixed what needed to be fixed. Beyond expertise, they are respectful and trustworthy, which these days is saying something. Excellent work. Reputable company. Use them for your HVAC needs, you won't be sorry!

The staff in the office (Judy) and on site (Billy) are great. Honest, helpful and upfront. They don't try to 'up-sell' or give you scary stories. Mr. Reardon took his time to explain the new heating unit, its' maintenance, and thermostat. He and Billy even recommended what type of filters I should get and how often for me to check. If you need an excellent heating/cooling company to maintain, repair or replace your system, call Reardon Refridgeration. I trust them to come into my home, do what they need to do and everything will be fine.

As someone previously in the home energy and sustainability field, I get asked often about our heat…read morepumps and I am constantly telling people to avoid this company. NE Ductless installed our heat pumps in 2021 and it's been one problem after another. Our air handler was faulty from the beginning and needed to be replaced immediately, they were not responsive to requests to inspect the system two years later and troubleshoot why it wasn't able to keep up in the winter months, and we subsequently had a subpar service visit from them. I knew I was really done with them when I identified that they used a product in my install that is prone to corrosion and refrigerant leaks, and they refused to do anything unless/until a leak occurs. Now, I've had a major leak into my bedroom from the air handler and it was discovered that there were several things NE Ductless did incorrectly during the install that caused the leak (including an improper joint transition in the drainage line that was kinked and caused the system to back up, drainage parts that hadn't been installed, and a drain pan that was noticeably pitched instead of level as it should have been). The company who came to fix it was really shocked at how poor of an installation it was, and of course these things were not noticed when they came for service less than 2 years prior. When I let NE Ductless know, I got a defensive email back. This company does not stand by its work and its customer service is atrocious. Run, don't walk.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience warrants one so others can make an informed…read moredecision. Boston Standard sold and installed a brand-new heat pump HVAC system for my home, representing that it was properly sized and appropriate for the unit. The installation itself appeared to go smoothly, and cooling worked as expected through the summer and fall. However, once winter temperatures arrived, the system failed to perform. For 16 consecutive days, my family was unable to get our home above 63°F, despite repeated assurances that the issue had been resolved. Our infants slept in sweatshirts and we relied on space heaters during that period. Over those 16 days, Boston Standard made five separate service visits, each time diagnosing a different root cause: - First guy reset the system then told me it was working like normal - Then, second guy diagnosed an electrical/wiring issue and said that was fixed - Third visit was improper airflow causing the gas to blow out - Fourth was faulty sensors and a replacement control board - Finally, they resolved after troubleshooting live with the manufacturers support where they had to rig the control board wiring in a confusing way  Throughout this process, communication was inconsistent. At various points I was told parts were needed, then that they were not. I was repeatedly told the system was "fixed" when it clearly was not. Escalation was difficult, and it took multiple attempts over several days to reach a service manager Joe Trainito. The most troubling part is not that there was an issue, but that Boston Standard did not fully understand how to install or configure the system they sold me. From a homeowner's perspective, it felt like troubleshooting & training was being done live on my house, at my family's expense. Several people at the company acknowledged that they were having widespread issues with these new installs. When I asked what they would do to make this right, the primary offer was a 10% warranty extension, which was not meaningful after a prolonged failure. A request for a partial refund was met with an offer of $1,000, less than 4% of the total project cost, despite the system being unusable for heat for a significant portion of the winter. This was a full, ground-up HVAC replacement that should have been correctly designed, installed, and supported in the first place. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of that standard. I cannot recommend Boston Standard based on reliability, execution, or post-installation support and will not be using them again.

Extremely happy with the services provided by James. He installed a 6 unit/2 compressor heat pump…read moresystem in our 150+ year old house in about two days, demonstrating superior knowledge of the system and suggesting actually aesthetically pleasing choices for ducting etc. that many other contractors ignored. Price was reasonable for the scope and system specs, and James was extremely responsive and patient throughout the whole process. We also really appreciate James's help coordinating with MassSave (including some truly terrible inspections), ultimately enabling us to claim our full rebate. I'd highly recommend working with James, and we will continue to reach out to him for all our HVAC needs!

After a 3-yr search and MANY bids for a new HVAC, we settled on James Wu, who installed our system…read morelast month and proved the research paid off. Below are things I wanted to know before choosing a contractor; maybe it will be helpful for you. Our situation: 100+ yr old home with current boiler in basement. We recently insulated our walk-up attic - that would both freeze and melt items stored there - with closed-cell spray foam (more research there), added drywall and will use it for storage. This is where the air handler and ERV (for ventilation) went. Our upstairs is now ducted, with one vent running through a closet on the 2nd floor to 1st floor. We also added a Mitsibishi floor mount unit and a ceiling cassette on 1st floor. So, we had a VARIETY of equipment installed, requiring a contractor experienced in not only ducting, but mini-split installs with both a ceiling cassette and floor mount unit. We did not want the large wall mount mini split units. Our walls/ceilings are PLASTER, (metal wire mesh and cement-based): cutting them is a JOB. And, we wanted the floor mount unit RECESSED. COST - James was in-line with our other bids, which came in between 27k and 39k, largely depending on equipment recommended, with ceiling cassettes costing more. Many contractors simply would not install them, and wanted to run ducts in the corners of all upstairs rooms to first floor, which to us was a last resort. COMMUNICATION - James is very responsive to texts, emails, and even more importantly, he is a fantastic communicator. He is very calm, not pushy, explains things in an easy-to-understand way that clearly shows he knows his business. I actually told my husband after he left for the first time, "I think we may have found our guy" just based on his personality and knowledge. He's likeable, which isn't a requirement, but definitely helps. EXPERTISE - This is what truly sets James apart. Our needs were fairly complex, requiring interior ducting, 2 outside units with exterior line sets, and recessed ceiling units, but also RECESSING the inside floor unit into an interior wall. We've overseen several renovation projects recently and could tell these guys knew what they were doing. Also, they were perfectionists, and paid attention to details you don't often find with contractors. DEPENDABILITY - Not a single missed appt. Showed up on time with clear communication. The job took a week. He also helped with Masssave paperwork. They cleaned up after themselves each day, which we appreciated. KNOWLEDGE - Extremely versed in Mitsibishi equipment. He's a Diamond Contractor, which extends our warranty, but we'd have chosen him regardless. Every question I had about these units (cassette and floor unit operation, air handler, ERV, outdoor units, thermostats...) he knew the answer to. When I researched anything specific online, from multiple and trusted sources, I found the info he'd given me to be correct. I trust his knowledge and I don't automatically do that. One example: our ceiling cassette has an internal thermostat and it's off by several degrees regularly. I researched it and found we likely need an external thermostat separate from the unit to measure the room's temp. I texted James a photo showing the inaccurate reading and his immediate reply, "you need an external thermostat. I'll install one." That's what I'm talking about. INTEGRITY - Example: After the permit inspector left, James explained his philosophy on inspections. Each city apparently has different requirements. He learned several years ago how strict one particular city was, requiring a blower test to determine air tightness and the passing score was 4% or less. He got 4.1% and city wouldn't pass it. This required a lot more time/energy to go through everything and another test and more $$. So, now James says to his guys, "We install to the strictest inspection every time, regardless of the specific city's requirements, so we don't ever have to redo anything." In our case, the city didn't need a blower test but if they did, I feel confident we would have passed! I don't often take time to write reviews, esp this lengthly, but I felt it was warranted here. Finding an HVAC contractor is HARD; it's time-consuming and complicated. And a lot of money. Three years of research finally led us to James and now, looking back, it was worth the wait and headaches in research. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a new HVAC, especially if it involves Mitsibishi and especially ESPECIALLY if it involves recessing any equipment like ceiling cassettes or wall units, to consider James Wu. He and his team are uniquely skilled in their work.

I had to operate his…read moretablet for him and repeatedly point out that the information he was looking for wasn't on the unit's label while he constantly told me he wasn't very familiar with Lennox systems, even though I called them because they are a Lennox dealer. I ended up having to help him through checking everything. I eventually got an "estimate" that included overpriced repairs that cost as much as replacing the unit. It had a digital "signature" on it that just was the tech writing NA. I never actually signed anything. Nothing they sent me mentioned anything about late fees, but considering I was done with this company and couldn't get them on the phone reliably to pay I mailed a check. The check was never cashed, and I tried calling a couple times over the last year. Now almost a year later they email me telling me I have a years' worth of late fees because they never cashed the check. I finally was able to call during the day (not always easy for me). I got a person who again told me the person I needed had already left for the day. I told them if they wanted to be paid they needed to take the card over the phone right now. She agreed. Then told me the current balance. I refused to pay the late fees and told them I would authorize only the original balance. She put me on hold while she checked and then blind transferred me. The person answered like they had no idea who I was. I explained the situation again (very frustrating) and he knew exactly who I was and already had the information. He stated they have several ways to pay, except apparently those ways aren't check since I tried that. And none of the mailed "invoices" I received provide any payment information, terms and conditions, or anything but the current balance and how many days late it was. Just "Past Due - Please Remit" and an address along with a return envelope. But I had already tried that. This person claimed to be willing to take the payment, but when I rejected the late fees he claimed he needed to investigate and would get back to me. I told him I am not available during the day and he scoffed at me. I gave him one final chance to accept the payment without late fees right then or I was going to stop even attempting to pay as my life doesn't revolve around a waste of time diagnostic service with a technician that didn't know what they were doing. It shouldn't be this hard to pay them. The late fees should have never existed if they just cashed the check I sent or had ever provided me with payment instructions. other than "Please Remit", a return envelope, and an address. I will never use these people again. Everything with them is a clown show. Can't get straight answers, can't get things properly diagnosed. Can't get trained people. Can't even pay their bill. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

He was…read moreextremely professional and transparent, and went so far to suggest that he come back out to give the job a second look after I dragged my feet between getting the original quote in January and choosing to go ahead with the work in late June. I was extremely impressed with the quick work that they did, and how far above and beyond they went to keep the house clean (knowing a lot of the work was going to need the attic access in a baby's room.) Through our project, John discovered a potentially serious electrical wiring issue with our home that he (and Andy, the electrician that he uses) handled perfectly and in a timely fashion. I had no doubts that this minor additional work that came up through this project was in the interest of having done for safety reasons as he was able to explain it to a layman in a way that I could understand. John wanted to walk through the job at the end of the project, show me the work that was done, and confirm that I was pleased with the results. I'll definitely be recommending Seasonal Air to any friends in the area who need HVAC work.

My air conditioning broke during this latest heat wave. I called Several places and Seasonal Air…read morewas very responsive -they came right away. Unfortunately a less experienced technician was sent to evaluate the situation. Seasonal Air was nice not to charge me for their visit, and told me that I needed an electrician to resolve my issue. After spending $300 on an electrician, they diagnosed the issue correctly and told me I needed to bring back the HVAC specialist. When I called Seasonal Air back to request they return to fix the problem, they never called me back. They just completely disappeared. I called 3x, begging them to return my call given it was 95 degrees and very hot in my house. Ultimately I called a different HVAC specialist who was able to fix the problem in an hour -it was a clogged drain-and who was surprised that Seasonal Air didn't recognize the issue immediately as this is a common problem. So I ended up spending $550 to cover the electrician and the HVAC specialist (instead if just paying $250) and lost 2 days in my office (vs one day), and lost 2 nights of sleep (vs one) due to the heat. I hope the Seasonal Air team reads this and reevaluates how they treat their customers going forward.
