• Ani and the team at Essential Air HVAC did a fantastic job installing my tankless water heater. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Ani provided excellent customer service, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free. The installation was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend Ani and Essential Air HVAC to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality HVAC service!

• Top-Notch Work – Highly Recommend! As a property maintenance manager, I’ve worked around plenty of HVAC installers, but Ani and the team at Essential Heating and Cooling are the real deal. They just completed a high-capacity Rinnai tankless install on one of our rental units and did an absolutely immaculate job.They upgraded the gas and water line infrastructure perfectly, kept the workspace spotless, and even custom-routed extra stub-out valves for a future laundry setup exactly where I requested. Ani is fast, very honest, and highly professional. I’ll absolutely be recommending him for future projects. Five stars all around!

• Exceptional Work from An Absolute Pro! I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Essential Heating and Cooling! Over the last two years, I have thoroughly researched tankless water heaters and received seven different quotes from various companies across the region. After all that careful consideration, I am so incredibly glad I chose this team. Their professionalism, transparency, and level of expertise are completely unmatched. Right from my very first inquiry, Ani was incredibly responsive, professional, and proactive. He answers questions almost instantly and gets straight to business without wasting a single second of your time. He and his company truly check all the boxes of what a professional contractor should be. I needed to upgrade a bulky 60-gallon rental water heater tank to a premium high-capacity Rinnai tankless system in a basement utility room. They were incredibly accommodating and managed to fit me into an early slot due to a cancellation, which was a lifesaver for my tight timeline before my new tenants move in.The installation took about five hours on a Saturday afternoon, and the crew worked meticulously. They were incredibly respectful, very mindful, organized, and left the workspace absolutely spotless. They went completely above and beyond by custom-routing the new infrastructure (including upgrading to a 3/4" gas line and water lines) and even expertly roughed in stub-out plumbing bypass valves on the opposite wall for a future tenant washing machine layout.The new Rinnai unit looks fantastic, runs flawlessly, and has freed up a massive amount of physical real estate in my utility room, turning a cramped mechanical closet into a highly functional space. My only regret is that I didn't go tankless sooner—I wish I had just called Ani from Essential Heating and Cooling first two years ago! If you are looking for an independent contractor who is knowledgeable, deeply experienced, completely fair (and not greedy), takes true pride in their craftsmanship, and whose main priority is client satisfaction, do yourself a favor and call this company. After reviewing seven different options over two years, I can confidently tell you that an exceptional 5-star experience like this is rare. I am not just giving them 5 stars—they truly earned it. I will absolutely use them again for all my future projects, like when I eventually upgrade my furnace and AC, and I will recommend them to friends and family without hesitation!

The team was professional, communicated well, and completed the work on time. They paid great attention to cleanliness, left the furnace room neat and clean. I will definitely reach them again for our HVAC services when needed. Thanks again for your great service.

• I contacted Essential air for some issue with my HVAC. There was no power to equipment. Essential air provided the professional help with absolutely no greed for money and process was so seamless that equipment start running within 30 mins. Take a big bow. Excellent service.

  Jatin S.★★★★★

• Our furnace stopped working in one of our rental properties earlier this week. Right in the middle of a harsh winter. We were originally quoted a surprisingly high price by a well-known company, so we decided to get a second opinion. Essential Heating came out the very same evening to take a look. They were honest about what needed to be done and gave us a much more reasonable quote. Even better—they managed to replace the entire furnace the very next day. As landlords, heat is critical for our tenants’ safety and comfort, especially in weather like this. Essential Heating handled the situation quickly, professionally, and without any hassle.

  Irvin J.★★★★★

• Completed the job efficiently. Clean work, professional behavior, and fair pricing. Highly recommended.

  Pawandeep G.★★★★★

• We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Our furnace broke overnight and we called at noon and by 3pm they were already at our home installing a brand new furnace — incredible response time. The pricing was excellent, the workmanship was clean and professional, and they left everything tidy. Highly recommend this company if you want fast, honest, quality service. They will be the first I will call in the future!

  Danielle M.★★★★★

  mukul P.★★★★★

• Ani recently installed a tankless water heater and water softener at my place, and I’m honestly so happy with how everything turned out. He was super professional and got everything done within just a couple of hours — I wasn’t expecting it to be that quick! What really stood out to me was how helpful and kind he was. He even helped me sort out a payment plan, which made a big difference. It's not easy to find someone who’s not only great at what they do but also genuinely cares. Thanks again, Ani — you really made the whole process smooth and stress-free!

  Priyo G.★★★★★

• I recently had my furnace installed by Ani and the Essential Air Heating and Cooling team, and the service was phenomenal from start to finish. The installation was professional, efficient, and perfectly done, showing their clear expertise. What truly impressed me was the incredible value: you can call them anytime and you will be answered, the price included not only the expert installation but also 3 years of maintenance and a smart thermostat. This comprehensive package offered great peace of mind and convenience, making it an easy decision. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and highly recommend them for their excellent work and exceptional value!

  Vasundhra B.★★★★★

• I had a great experience with Essential Air for our tankless water heater ! We had a few companies come by for quotes and Essential Air was charging about half of what the bigger guys were moreover he haven’t charge us any travel time as i was in Cambridge . Ani was professional, knowledgeable, and prices were very fair. The install was quick and he cleaned up afterwards and even did a nice job with installing in proper space. He also gave me some tips on how to maintain the unit and and also help me with the gas pipe line for my stove. Really great guy, we would definitely call them again!

  harmeet S.★★★★★

  Avery C.★★★★★

  Jass S.★★★★★

• I have inquired multiple companies to get tankless water heater and softener . These people went above and beyond to beat the market price and service . I would suggest to get things from local businesses than getting from bigger companies taking bigger chunks of profit . Own with smartness otherwise it’s kind of rental.

  Gurpreet J.★★★★★

• The installation of our new tankless water heater was conducted in a highly professional and efficient manner by Ani and his associate. The work area was maintained in a clean and organized state throughout the process. Ani demonstrated extensive knowledge about the system and provided comprehensive explanations to ensure our understanding. We highly recommend this company for their exceptional service.

  Angie M.★★★★★

• Ani provided excellent service during the installation of our tankless water heater. The team was professional, communicated well, and completed the work on time. They paid great attention to cleanliness, laying down mats to keep the floors clean. The existing tank was returned, and the pricing was fair. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience.

  Aman K.★★★★★

• We had a great experience with Essential Air! Our air conditioner broke early last week and the whole unit needed to be replaced. We had a few companies come by for quotes and Essential Air was charging about half of what the bigger guys were. Ani was professional, knowledgeable, and prices were very fair. He was booking about two weeks out for replacement, but said he’d let us know if he could help us out any sooner, and we ended up getting our new AC within a few short days. The install was quick and he cleaned up afterwards and even did a nice job trimming the hedge that was around the unit. He also gave us some tips on how to maintain the unit and what to watch for in case of AC issues in future. Really great guy, we would definitely call them again!
