Quick. Efficient. Cost effective. These guys beat 6 quotes on a brand new hvac system for a 1500 sq ft home. Original system broke down at night. Called around the next morning. These guys were the first to return my call, gave me lowest quote of 6 and promptly came out and ordered the system. Picked up and installed the next day. Highly recommended! Have called them several times since for questions and yearly maintenance. Always the same service! AAA+/5*!

We had some major furnace problems right as the cold was coming in and we were about to leave town. Unfortunately we ended up having to replace the furnace. Ed and his team were quick to diagnose, fair with the quote, and diligent when it came to getting the work done.
They even loaned us some of their space heaters since they wouldn't be able to start work for the next couple of days.
Can't recommend enough, they'll be our go-to HVAC company from here on out.

One year old Kenmore window air conditioning unit went out in the middle of a heat wave. Sears (going out of business) told us Frigidaire would handle the service; Frigidaire said Sears would do it. PHILLIP took care of the problem in less than an hour and at a reasonable rate, considering we are an out-of-town service call. He taught us what contributed to the problem so we can take measures to prevent and correct in the future.

In the heat of the summer my ac broke, and I called Ed's company out. Ed tried a couple quick fixes to save me money and try to get the unit to last just until the end of the summer. Unfortunately it didn't work so Ed was out, the next morning doing an installation job. He and Salvatore showed up on time and worked tirelessly until the unit was up and running. Ed made sure I knew how to program the thermostat before he left. The prices were fair, the work was excellent, I would highly recommend these guys to you.

I woke up in the middle the night to hear a strange noise coming from my a/c unit. I called a number of different services and Ed and his team were the first people to respond. They came promptly on time and did amazing work fixing the problem without a lot of cost. Definitely use these guys they are amazing!

I called this Around the Town after having used a competitor for the last two years, but after several failed attempts looked for an alternative. I spoke with Ed friday morning and said he would make time to come out saturday for my appointment. Saturday am i called him to check if everything was still on time and he said that his crew was stuck at another job and would be for some time, but that he would personally drive out and do my inspection. He was very professional and considerate of my time and helped with some simple fixes that went above and beyond and have since resulted in cleaner more constant temperatures as well as future savings on filters as well. Thank you Ed and Sam for a job well done and a new client.

After taking over a 12-unit apartment building with a central boiler system earlier this year, I called Ed based on the good yelp reviews to do a clean and check on the boiler before firing it up for the upcoming winter. Ed came out and noticed that the high velocity circulating pump was leaking water and another auxiliary pump wasn't sounding too good either. Ed wrote me an estimate for the scope of work and it was a sizable bill. At this point since I didn't know Ed too well, I called on a few other HVAC providers to get a second opinion. Another shop offered a cheaper, stop-gap solution. However, two other HVAC shops agreed with Ed's diagnosis but both were more expensive so I went with Ed. Further, I noticed that the others didn't take as much time as Ed to inspect the situation so I felt comfortable going with him.
Ed completed the initial repairs on time and on budget. However, when he moved on to the individual apartments to fire up the system, he found some stuck zone valves that needed to be replaced. I wasn't surprised by that given the age of the building so I had Ed complete those repairs as well. However, after that was complete, I had some tenants complain about being too hot. At this point, I personally could see the thermostats would open the zone valves, but not close them. I called Ed and he came out immediately. Long story short, after a good deal of investigation, it became apparent that the legacy wiring for all of the zone valves in the building was wrong. Talking to the tenants, no one had controlled their heat for years with some too hot and others freezing! It's possible the wiring had been incorrect for decades! Ed took on the time-intensive job of re-wiring all of the zone valves and continues to help me fine tune the boiler system as we enter the winter.
Beyond being an experienced and knowledgable tech, I really think Ed stands out as someone who takes ownership of a problem and is willing to do what it takes to get the job done right. I could easily have seen other technicians leaving me in the lurch when the going got tough. Further, Ed is great at answering technical questions and is more than willing to share information with you as opposed to keeping you in the dark. Given all of this and along with fair pricing, I fully recommend Ed and Around the Town Heating. I'm glad I found him.

My wife and I have been using Around The Town for years now. Ed has always been fair honest and extremely prompt when we have needed his service. It's hard to trust people these days but Ed has always come through and has earned our utmost respect and trust. Fair pricing and professional service. Thanks Ed. You once again saved us from a cold night!

I was in need of a new AC unit. I called Ed, and he came out and explained all of my options, and described which unit was best suited for my situation. He did not try to sell me the most expensive unit. He explained why the unit he recommended was the best for my house.
Ed and his crew installed the new AC unit in about a half day. They were on time, and very professional with all of their work. Everything was clean when they were done.
After several weekends of intense heat, the AC unit they installed has worked perfect. Ed followed up a couple of days after the install to make sure everything was working.
I highly recommend "Around the Town" for any type of heating/AC needs.
