About McFarland Heating Air Conditioning Service
McFarland Heating Air Conditioning Service has operated as a family-owned HVAC contractor in Boston, Massachusetts for over two decades. Owner Clint McFarland holds a valid Massachusetts HVAC license and manages a small team including technician Lou. The company serves residential homeowners across Boston proper, Malden, and surrounding communities in Middlesex County. Reviewers note the team handles everything from aging forced-hot-air systems to modern central air conditioning, with particular expertise in equipment that other contractors have declined to service.
What distinguishes McFarland Heating is their commitment to jobs other companies walk away from. Multiple reviewers describe calling twelve or more HVAC contractors who refused to work on older systems, only to have McFarland arrive within hours and complete the repair the same day. The team maintains a stock of hard-to-find replacement components for vintage equipment, allowing them to complete repairs in a single visit rather than ordering parts and scheduling return trips. Their response time for emergency situations earns consistent praise across five-star reviews.
Customer stories provide the strongest endorsement. When a Malden business owner's rooftop commercial air conditioning units failed during an extreme heat wave, Clint and his team restored cooling to both sides of the salon the same day, keeping customers comfortable during a critical period. A homeowner in the northern Boston suburbs describes McFarland arriving within an hour of the initial call, assessing a collapsed vent system in a basement, sourcing the necessary materials, and completing a full rebuild that same afternoon. These scenarios illustrate a contractor willing to prioritize customer needs over convenience.
What Customers Say
Six reviews yield a 4.83 average rating, with five five-star reviews citing same-day emergency response, diagnostic clarity, and fair pricing. The lone one-star review stems from a personal communication issue unrelated to HVAC work quality. All positive reviews specifically name Clint or reference his immediate availability.
