Their communication was consistent, transparent on timeline and what work was needed to be done, and fair on pricing . Manny, RJ, TJ, Brad, Nick, Vartan and Carla were truly wonderful throughout the process of negotiating and the install. As someone that has worked in the construction and design industry before, and was the point person to coordinate GC's , sub contractors, engineers, and architects on major jobs in the past I can't say enough nice things about this small business, and how highly I would recommend them. Steve (owner), you truly have employed an incredible team. Thank you again!

Got central heat/AC installed a year ago; installation dragged way over the predicted time, but was…read moreotherwise fine. Expensive, to be sure, but you expect that in these parts. "Free" annual maintenance time? Four house calls later, still have no AC (I think it worked before being "maintained" but if it had an issue over the winter, I wouldn't know), which I'm now told will be the case for the entirety of May. Communication has been dismal- e.g. getting a text for an upcoming appointment nobody told me was even a thing (apparently the maintenance wasn't completed and nobody told me). Multiple "whoops, we need to order a part, we'll call you in a week or two". Why a part gets ordered on the fourth house call? Beats me. Why they can't stock parts for the products they themselves install? Beats me. And I've paid for a surge protector as part of this "free" process (why wasn't it included initially? Who knows!) If you want to be stuck in a 95-degree house, I recommend Akian. If you want new people coming to your house to chat every week, I recommend Akian. If you want to actually get working HVAC, please let me know who I can talk to. But I guess most of the people I've talked to have been very nice. If they ever manage to get their act together and do their job, I'll update this review.

We had a very great experience with AMC Mechanical LLC and truly appreciate Andrew and the team…read more They were punctual, courteous, and a pleasure to work with, and their strong knowledge and attention to detail really showed in the quality of their work. They moved efficiently while keeping everything well managed. With an older home, a few small hiccups were expected, but they handled them thoughtfully and helped get the rough inspection passed quickly. Overall, a great experience, we'd highly recommend Andrew and his company, and look forward to updating our review as we move into the next phase.

Do not hire this company for anything complicated! We hired…read moreAndrew to replace a boiler in our 2 pipe steam system in a 90 yr. Old house. He had done other minor plumbing projects for us with which we were happy but this one did not work out as well. It became clear he did not have experience with this type of system and initially did not install the pipes to,the boiler correctly which became apparent after we finally consulted a " senior" plumber who advised him how to redo the piping. After the installation was correct 1/3 of the radiators in the house were not working which had been functional with the old boiler. He was unable to figure out why so we had to hire another company at several thousand dollar cost and it turned out that Andrew had not properly skimmed the oil out of the boiler used to attach some of the pipes which spread throughout the system and this oil clogged radiator steam traps which made the radiators nonfunctional. This added several thousand dollars extra cost and he did not respond to our request to discuss the findings of the senior plumber. He told us he has been in independent business for 5 years but clearly has not encountered all the problems one will find in old houses around this area and did not have the knowledge for this sort of job.
