Heating and air conditioning is vital for everyday living, within your home and business. Having an efficient, working HVAC system at all times is essential. Preferred Air's carefully selected team of highly skilled professionals is here to provide you with quality HVAC system installations, repairs, and maintenance.
Our "Preferred Membership" maintenance contracts are designed to provide homeowners with the peace of mind that their equipment is well cared for - and that their maintenance costs will be predictable for the year. Preferred Membership contract customers receive priority service over non-service contract customers.
At Preferred Air, we know how important regular maintenance is to your home's heating and cooling systems. Regular maintenance ensures that your systems are cleaned and inspected regularly to maximize their lifespan. Without regular maintenance, your home's systems break down more often, require more repairs and cost you more on your monthly energy bill.
Be ready for summer heat with a well maintained air conditioning system that fits your cooling needs, with the help of Preferred Air. As the temperature rises, you'll want to make sure your system can handle the burden placed on it throughout the season. Our technicians have the experience, knowledge, and technology needed to bring you peace of mind.

Called Preferred Air in the midst of one of our heat waves and despite the fact I was a new customer, they came the next day! Great service, reasonably priced, very professional. Highly recommend!

I hired Preferred Air to do a complete furnace and A/C replacement for my home, and I couldn't be more pleased. The business folks were knowledgeable and helpful. The install team was clean, efficient, and conscientious, and issues that arose during the process were communicated clearly. My questions and concerns were addressed promptly. Shout out to Wayne, Rob, Luis, and the others who helped make this process as painless as possible.

We just had our second Split Duct system installed by Preferred Air.
They do wonderful work. Both installations look great and work fantastic.
All the people we dealt with were very professional. As a result of our experience with them my folks, my daughter and four different friends also had systems installed bu Preferred Air. They are all very happy.

The team at Preferred Air are fantastic! Clean, courteous and respectful. Drew always responds in a timely manner to get you on the schedule ASAP. Thank you so much to Louis, Ryan, Doug and Dennis for all of your great work! Working on repair and install in 120 degree heat in the attic is not an easy job! Thank you all again!

We purchased two mini-split AC units Preferred Air and we love them. The company is great to work with. Someone always answers the phone, they are friendly and honest. The on-site crews were efficient, polite and tidy. They left no mess behind in our home. Preferred Air even submits your warranty info and emails you the info for your files. I can't recommend them enough.

I can't say enough good things about preferred air. We have used them twice for our AC. Both times they were able to come out same day and they were able to fix the issues in a single visit. I will continue to use them and keep recommending them to friends.

I cannot say enough good things about the team at Preferred Air. When I realized that my new condo required a complete re-build of the central air system, they went above and beyond by providing valuable advice on how to design the system to accommodate the challenge of a big open space with 20' ceilings. Additionally, they identified and fixed air flow problems resulting from a poorly designed installation. The team handled the very complicated job with utmost professionalism, courtesy and importantly, expertise. It was a pleasure working with them and I am thrilled with my new (working!) system

Preferred Air has been installing Central Air in my home over the last week. I have never had any ducts of any kind so this is a total install. The attention to detail, the quality, professionalism and neatness of the 2 main installers, Jay and Jeff, and Wayne who came one day to assist, is impressive. Tom Favazza, the owner, came on Day 1 with… his installers and together they laid out the finalized plan of where all the equipment would be placed. This is one of the few times I've had big projects done in my home that I know I chose the the right company! I highly recommend Preferred Air

Preferred Air has twice done excellent jobs diagnosing and replacing or repairing one of our condo unit's finicky HVAC systems. We've been treated with utmost courtesy by Leo who had to deal with our scheduled 2 month trip out of state. He never seemed to lose patience with our questions and requested work date changes. Quite remarkable and very much appreciated. Matt Evans is a super tech who replaced the evaporator coil on one unit on site. It's never worked as well. He patiently answered all our questions as well as doing a great job for us.

So thankful for our Two new heating systems. Our 30 yr old Heat Pump systems needed to be replaced. We got 4 quotes ranging from $18 to $29k. Preferred Air best price, service, professional, clean job, and great efficient systems. And they are still available for service and warranty!

I called this afternoon explaining our issue with our AC... wasn't blowing full force and would not get below 83 in the house. Fernando came out and looked at it. Noticed the freeon was low, quick fix. Thanks so much!!

I called this morning because our furnace pilot wasn’t lighting. I called several other companies prior and finally got through right away to Preferred Air at 10:50am. Within an hour they were at our house. Shaun who was our technician didn’t have the part but went straight to the warehouse and it was fixed by 2pm. We have never had to call for our furnace in the 9years being at our house and we will absolutely call again whenever there is a need. Thank you for giving us heat again in our house especially when we have a child.

Luis was awesome !! From the moment he entered the house, he was extremely professional and it was obvious from the outset that he knew exactly what he was talking about. I learned a lot about my system that I didn't know and he checked everything thoroughly and advised me on the things that he could fix and the things that I could do on my own to fix some of the other issues. My drain line was far too long (this was done by the original installer of the system which shall remain nameless !!) and he showed me how I could shorten it and make it more efficient - he didn't try to sell

A/C broke down, during heat wave. They came on a Monday and fixed it in a jiffy. Thanks.
Price seemed reasonable, about $90 to come out and look and $200 for the part.

Preferred Air of Topsfield MA just recently finished the install of our new two stage gas furnace with a high efficiency filter system. Our old system was a 100k btu system almost 35 years old and was decaying rapidly and new one installed in our Gloucester condo. It is a 60k btu system that is 97% efficient. Already had a quote due to issues 3… weeks prior to the failure of our old one and emailed an approval to install to PA on a Sunday evening. Received phone call on morning...concluded contract and new furnace was installed complete on a Thursday in early December. Four techs showed
