United Mechanical has been keeping Cranston homes and businesses comfortable since 2010. We handle heating repair, AC service, heat pump installation, full system replacement, and everything in between -- for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial accounts across Rhode Island. One number. One call. One HVAC tech at your door. Call (401) 535-9789 for a quote and let us take a look at what your system needs. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own, and that starts from the first call.
Getting your comfort back is easier than you think. We cover the full range of residential and commercial HVAC work, from a quick repair visit to a complete system installation, and we are ready to help with whatever your system is doing. We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
Dealing with a furnace that won't keep up or an AC that can't cool? When your air conditioner stops working or struggles to keep up on a hot Rhode Island afternoon, we can usually get there the same day. Our technicians diagnose condenser and compressor issues, evaporator coil problems, refrigerant leaks, and airflow trouble that leaves some rooms warmer than others. The goal is always to get your system running again efficiently. When the repair math no longer makes sense, we also handle AC replacement and new central air installation so you have a clear path forward either way.
No heat in the house is never a small problem, especially once winter settles in across Providence County. We handle furnace repair and emergency no-heat calls, and we can often get there the same day when your heating system goes down. Common calls include blower and airflow issues, ignition failures, and a thermostat that stops talking to the furnace altogether. We will tell you honestly what the repair involves and what it will cost before any work begins. When a furnace is too far gone to repair reliably, we handle full heating system replacement and new furnace installation as well.
Heat pumps are a strong fit for Providence County's four-season climate. One system handles both heating and cooling, which simplifies things considerably for homeowners who want reliable year-round comfort without running separate systems. We service and repair heat pumps of all makes, handle seasonal tune-ups to keep efficiency where it should be, and install new heat pump systems when it is time to replace aging equipment. If you are wondering whether a heat pump makes sense for your home or what installation involves, call (401) 535-9789 and we will walk you through the options.
A thermostat that is not reading correctly or responding to your settings can make an otherwise healthy system feel like it is broken. We install programmable thermostats, smart thermostats, and zoning controls that give you better command over your home's comfort. It is a straightforward upgrade that often makes a noticeable difference in how consistently your system performs.
Leaky ducts quietly drain energy and leave parts of your home warmer or cooler than they should be. We locate the problem areas, seal the leaks, and repair or replace ductwork sections that are damaged or undersized. Sealed ducts mean your system works less to deliver the same comfort, and that shows up on your energy bills over time. For older Cranston homes where ductwork has never been inspected, a duct assessment is a practical first step.
What circulates through your system circulates through your home. We install whole-home air filtration systems, UV air purifiers, and air scrubbers that reduce allergens, dust, and airborne contaminants before they reach your living spaces. New England winters are long and dry, and a whole-home humidifier paired with your heating system can make a real difference in how comfortable the air feels when the heat is running. Cleaner, better-balanced air is something most households notice right away.
Doimg HVAC work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, starting with preventive maintenance before the season puts real demand on your system. A spring AC tune-up and a fall heating tune-up catch small issues before they turn into no-heat emergencies or no-cool weekends. We inspect, clean, and test the system, and we tell you what we find. We'll handle the system so you don't have to.
Providence County sits in the heart of New England, and the housing stock here reflects it. Older homes built around boilers, steam radiators, and oil heat are common throughout Cranston and the surrounding communities. Humid summers and many homes without existing ductwork make certain services more relevant here than almost anywhere else in the country. These are the jobs we see most often, and the ones our technicians are most prepared to handle.
A large share of Cranston's older homes run on boilers and hot-water or steam radiators, and keeping those systems running takes a different skill set than servicing a forced-air furnace. We repair and service boilers, bleed and balance hydronic systems, and address the common failure points that come with aging equipment. Rhode Island winters are not forgiving, and a boiler that starts acting up in January needs prompt attention from technicians who actually know these systems. We show up on time and ready to work, and we handle boiler service the way it deserves to be handled.
The Northeast holds the vast majority of the country's oil-heated homes, and many of those homes are right here in Providence County. Fuel oil prices swing, and a lot of homeowners are ready to move to a more stable or efficient heating source. On the HVAC side, a conversion means installing a new heating unit, whether that is a gas furnace, a gas boiler, or a heat pump, and connecting it properly to the home's existing distribution system. We handle the equipment and its installation. If you have been thinking about making the switch, a call to discuss your current setup is the right first step. We will walk you through what the new system involves and what you can expect from the process.
Many Cranston homes were built before central air was standard, and running ductwork through them is either impractical or not worth the disruption. Mini-splits solve that problem cleanly. We install ductless systems for whole-home comfort, room additions, sunrooms, and finished basements where extending existing ductwork is not realistic. A mini-split handles both heating and cooling from a single unit, which matters in a climate with real winters and genuinely humid summers. No tearing into walls, no major construction. We'll have your system running again in no time.
For homeowners and property managers who want it done right, a system that goes down at the wrong moment needs a fast, reliable response. No heat on a January night, an AC blowing warm air in August, a system that will not turn on or keeps short cycling -- these are not problems that can wait a week. We respond to emergency HVAC calls and offer same-day service for urgent situations throughout Cranston and the surrounding area. We pick up the phone. We arrive on time. We check before we leave. When your system is down, we take that seriously, and we show up on time and ready to work.
What sets our technicians apart is straightforward: they treat a commercial job with the same care and urgency as a residential one. We work with offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and property managers who need reliable HVAC service without extended downtime. We handle commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, commercial system installation and replacement, and ongoing maintenance to keep equipment running efficiently. A comfortable space is a productive space, and when something goes wrong, we work to get it corrected quickly. We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
HVAC repair costs and replacement costs vary depending on the system, its age, and the scope of the work involved. We do not quote a number before we know what we are looking at, and we do not start work before you know what it costs. What we do is walk you through the diagnosis, explain the options, and give you a clear picture before anything is decided. Affordable heating and cooling repair starts with honest information, and that is what every customer gets from us. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own, and that means no surprises when the job is done.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my heating or cooling system?
A good rule of thumb is to weigh the repair cost against the age and condition of the equipment. If a system is more than 15 years old and the repair runs to several hundred dollars or more, replacement often makes more financial sense over time. We diagnose the system first and give you an honest read on both options before any work begins, so you can make the call with clear information.
What are the signs that my AC or furnace may need to be replaced soon?
Frequent repairs, rising energy bills without a change in usage, uneven heating or cooling throughout the home, and a system that is 15 to 20 years old are all signals worth paying attention to. A system that short-cycles (turns on and off more than it should) or makes new noises it did not used to make is also telling you something. A diagnostic visit gives you a clear picture of where the equipment stands.
How often should I schedule a maintenance tune-up?
Twice a year is the standard: once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Each visit covers inspection, cleaning, and testing so the system is ready for the demand ahead. Consistent maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive mid-season failures.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We explain the diagnosis and the cost before any work begins. If something changes mid-job, we tell you before moving forward, so there are no surprises when the work is done.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually include?
We inspect and clean the key components of the system, check refrigerant levels and electrical connections, test thermostat operation, inspect the heat exchanger or coil, and run the system through its cycle to confirm it is performing correctly. We also let you know if we find anything that needs attention, so you are not surprised later.
Why is one room in my house hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures are usually a ductwork problem, an airflow issue, or a sign that the system is undersized for the space. Leaky or disconnected ducts, a dirty filter, or a blower motor that is not moving enough air can all cause hot and cold spots. A thermostat or zoning issue can also be the culprit. We diagnose the cause rather than guess at it.
How does a dirty filter or coil affect my system?
A clogged filter restricts airflow, which forces the system to work harder and can cause it to overheat or freeze up. A dirty evaporator coil does the same thing on the cooling side: it cannot absorb heat efficiently, so the system runs longer and delivers less comfort. Replacing the filter regularly and keeping the coil clean are two of the simplest ways to protect the equipment.
Experienced With Older and Newer Systems
From aging boilers and oil-fired furnaces to modern heat pumps and smart-control systems, our technicians work on the full range of equipment common to homes in this part of Rhode Island.
What causes a system to short-cycle?
Short-cycling means the system turns on, runs briefly, and shuts off before completing a full cycle. Common causes include an oversized system, a refrigerant leak, a dirty filter, a failing thermostat, or a safety switch tripping due to overheating. It is worth having a technician look at it because short-cycling puts extra wear on the equipment and usually points to a problem that will get worse.
Can I get same-day service if my heat or AC goes out?
Yes. For urgent no-heat and no-cool situations, we offer same-day service and emergency response throughout Cranston and the surrounding area. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including weekends. Call (401) 535-9789 and we will get you on the schedule as quickly as possible.
Clean and Respectful Workmanship
We protect your floors and finishes while we work and leave every job site the way we found it. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own.
How does your pricing and estimate process work?
We do not quote a number before we know what we are looking at, and we do not start work before you know what it costs. The technician diagnoses the system, explains what needs to be done, and gives you a clear price before anything is decided. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we communicate that before moving forward.
Do I need to be home when the technician comes out?
For most residential jobs, yes, someone should be present so the technician can access the equipment and go over the findings with you directly. For property managers and landlords, we can coordinate access and scheduling with tenants when the property owner cannot be on site.
What is involved in switching from oil heat to a gas furnace or heat pump?
On the HVAC side, a conversion means installing a new heating unit and connecting it to the home's existing distribution system, whether that is ductwork or a hydronic setup. We handle the equipment and its installation. If you are weighing a gas furnace against a heat pump, a call to walk through your current setup is the right starting point. We will explain what each option involves and what you can expect from the process.
Every home and system is a little different, so call (401) 535-9789 and we will help you figure out exactly what yours needs.
