Weird experience with these guys. I called them to get a quote on installing central air conditioning in my home. They came over within a week and were very professional - took about 30 minutes of my time, talked me through what they would need to do, said they would follow up with a quote. and then they went silent. I had to call 4 times over a month and half period asking for the follow-up/quote before they finally told me "the job was too big for them and they didn't have the man power". What?
Not a great experience - I lost time waiting to hear from them and had to chase them down. [Edit - appreciate the followup here by the owner and agree a one star rating is not fair and I've adjusted. Great service/response to my initial inquiry and as I mentioned, very professional - I wish the follow up had been better but understand the circumstances.]

Bought my central air system from them over 10 years ago. Still runs great. Quality install of unit and duct work. They come out every year for tune-up and their people are knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: After 6 years with two Carrier heating and cooling systems installed by Swampscott Refrigeration, I needed to call them for a problem with one of the heating units. They have been great to work with. Not only did they fix the problem with the heating system, but they also checked out the 2nd unit to make sure that was running at peak efficiency as well. They've been very responsive and great to work with.
