Alvin Hollis

I contacted Alvin Hollis over 3 weeks ago for an estimate on a complete heating system and hot water replacement. I also wanted to install central A/C. They arrived on the agreed upon date and time (reason for the 2nd star). They spent over an hour here looking over the job. It would be considered a pretty big job. When they left they said ""we will send you a proposal in a few days"" well that was over three weeks ago and I never heard back.... I felt like it was a huge waste of my time because I had to take time off from work. I am not begging them to send me a proposal. I guess they never were interested in my business. There are plenty of other places I can get all this work done.... Very disappointed....

I was a new customer to Alvin Hollis since Oct 2015. At the beginning, they seem very professional and provided up to par services.

Not until recently I decided to stop the auto oil delivery and out of no where questions like interrogation, ""why would I want to stop it? That is not a wise choice!, We know you need oil that is why it default to auto delivery...etc..."" I asked to talk to general manager, obviously he isn't around until next year. LOL! The service representative keep insisting that I need to close my account. This is where I got to agree with him.

Glad to end this business relationship.

When my old gas furnace started having problems that Mass Save's tech said would be best fixed by a replacement, I started researching my options. I knew what I wanted, and had ideas about costs, so as an informed consumer, I was ready to make a decision. Alvin Hollis sent out their engineer/estimator, and I decided that if they gave me a good price on the furnace, I'd expand the job and have air conditioning installed, too.

Not only did the cost come in at a good figure, but they also helped with advice on how to get the most out of the Mass Save program, which made the overall project even more affordable.

The installation went smoothly. It was scheduled at a convenient date and time for me, everyone showed up on time, and the job ran like clockwork. When the furnace installers were ready for the gas line to be moved, the gas fitter was there right on time. When they were ready for power, the electrician showed up. Everything worked as expected, and I got good advice on upgrading my thermostat, which I wanted to do at a later date.

I felt like I was working with professionals who valued my business, and before, during and after the job, communication was first rate.

I have been a customer with Alvin Hollis since moving to Weymouth in 2012. I have nothing but good things to say about Alvin Hollis. For the last few years we have been heating with a boiler from the 1960s! Alvin Hollis had serviced the unit annually with no issues.

I recently took the plunge and decided to replace my boiler and hot water heater with a new, more efficient unit. I worked with Colin, an Engineer with Alvin Hollis, and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. Super patient and knowledgable about all the different types of heating systems. Colin provided me with three options that varied in price and design. Prior to going with Alvin Hollis for the boiler replacement, I had the project quoted by another local heating and air company just to make sure the price was competitive. The quote came in thousands higher than Alvin Hollis. I was amazed.

On the day the boiler was replaced the technicians arrived at 8am. They were gone by 4! Totally cleaned up, removed all the old equipment and the new unit running strong. I was really surprised how efficient the team was. The crew did a fantastic job.

We are really happy we chose Alvin Hollis. We would strongly recommend them for their honesty and superior customer service.

WOW, rude rude rude,
i called for a price on a service contract, they wanted to know if it was oil, yes. is it hot water, steam or some other type, well I don't know. then he wanted to come and look at it. so i wanted to know the price first, he says if its a newer system it could be free. so I said sure, come and look at it. then the guy says, well am I going to get the business? I don't just come out to look at things for nothing. what an asshole. I told him I will call someone else. he hung up on me.

Replaced an original 1950's monster of an oil heater with a new one. I shopped around and got quotes from several places for this job, but Alvin Hollis had the best price. They replaced everything, taught us all we needed to know for our new set-up. They even went above and beyond: I was having other work done at the same time, and the other crew left a mess. The Alvin-Hollis guys helped me clean it up! They were great!

Have been an oil delivery and maintenance customer for 7 years with great results - the tank is always full and the annual maintenance is proactive. This summer, our (very old) AC compressor quit. The replacement estimate process was excellent - we needed to resize the compressor and upgrade to the latest refrigerant, and Jim was flexible, responsive, and took the time to explain the necessary changes. Two price checks confirmed the proposal was the best value, and the work was completed on time with no issues. Great work.

Had an issue with an A/C that was installed 1.5 years ago. Had to call them back because of a freon leak. They resolved quickly with a new unit and worked with me on a reasonable service charge. Very fair and stand up team. Jim was very helpful.

I have used Alvin Hollis for 2 years for oil and just tried them for the AC service. These guys stay till its done and if jammed with appointments, come back to finish it right. Extremely courteous, always on time and thorough on repairs. AC and heating system now working in top shape. Service agreement is definitely worth it! Also, the recommended biofuel does seem to be more efficient for the system, less maintenance.

Had no heat inDecember so called them as they annually service the gas heat/AC unit.
They came out after midnight and got it started. It turns out the blower had gone and they quoted prices to replace part or whole system as it is already @7 yrs old. I opted to replace part and everything works great. No pressure to buy whole new system but glad to have option as nothing lasts very long these days. Also used them @7 yrs ago when they did complete bathroom remodels and was very satisfied then as well. Even the town inspector seemed relieved to know they had done the work which gave me an extra vote of confidence. Always polite, clean and easy to do business with!!
