MRCOOL’s First Historic Franchisee, 2024
MRCOOL named Peach Heat and Cool its first historic franchisee in the United States.

As an MRCOOL franchise partner, Peach Heat and Cool works directly with MRCOOL equipment rather than relying on traditional distributor markups. This relationship allows the company to focus exclusively on installing MRCOOL ductless mini splits and heat pump systems for homeowners looking for efficient alternatives to traditional heating and cooling.

Awards and Licenses FAQs
Each credential on this page lists who issued it, with its date or ID, so you can check it with the issuer.
It means you pay less for the same MRCOOL equipment. Our parent company, Mass HVAC Distributors, is MRCOOL’s first franchisee, so we buy direct from the source. No middleman adds a markup before the equipment reaches your home. We pass that savings on to you, which is why an MRCOOL install from us often costs a fraction of what premium brands quote.
No. Recognition highlights a specific achievement or relationship. Homeowners should still review licensing, experience, and project details before hiring any contractor.
A license is the credential the law requires before someone can do the work. Federal law requires EPA Section 608 to handle refrigerant, and Dave holds it at the Universal level. A certification usually confirms extra training on top of that.
No. A manufacturer partnership recognizes a company’s relationship with a brand. It does not mean the manufacturer supervises or guarantees every installation.

See What Our Clients Are Saying
We were intrigued by the concept of a heat pump and sat down with Dave who explained the whole concept to us. He was passionate in his description and you could tell he wasn't selling us on the idea, just speaking about something he was passionate about. Fast forward, and we love our heat pump, and instant jump to central air due to the nature of how it just works. Absolutely get one, and absolutely get it here.
Kevin Rego I had a great experience with Peach Heat and Cool. They were punctual, clean, and very professional throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond to resolve my issue — they contacted Mr. Cool directly, handled everything with the warranty, and ordered the necessary parts at no cost to me. The labor rate was also very reasonable and affordable. It's rare to find a company that’s this honest and efficient. Highly recommended!
Sandro Silva Dave was a pleasure to work with through our heating and cooling installation. The Peach Heat and Cool install team went above and beyond to ensure we had as little disruption to our interior as possible, they installed through the walls and attic flawlessly. Dave was knowledgeable, punctual, and personable from start to finish. My husband and I appreciated how considerate Dave was to our tenants during the install process, our tenants provided Dave and team a 5 star review as well!
Jackie Sheehan Dave Peach was so great to work with! He installed a heat pump HVAC system and heat pump hot water heater in our Dorchester condo. He helped us navigate the Mass Save loan and rebate processes, and was very responsive as questions came up. The work he did was excellent, including fixing some janky ductwork the developer left us with from the original HVAC install. He was courteous and professional at every step, and did it all at half the cost of other Boston companies offering comparable services. I definitely recommend Peach Heat and Cool!
