United Mechanical has been the go-to heating and cooling contractor for homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients across Cranston and Providence County since 2010. Sixteen years of hands-on work in this area means we know what local buildings need, what local weather demands, and what local customers expect from a company they trust with their comfort. One number. One call. One HVAC tech at your door.
Doing HVAC work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, whether you need a quick AC repair on a July afternoon or a full heating system replacement before the cold sets in. We handle the full range of residential and commercial heating and cooling work, and we handle it all under one roof.
Our technicians work on central air conditioning systems, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and hydronic heating systems. We repair what can be repaired, replace what needs replacing, and maintain what's running well so it keeps running. That includes airflow and uneven-temperature troubleshooting, condenser and compressor service, ductwork repair and sealing, thermostat and smart-control installation, and indoor air quality solutions. Seasonal tune-ups round out the picture for customers who want to stay ahead of problems before they become emergencies.
Work is performed by qualified HVAC technicians who know these systems inside and out. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own, and that shows in the quality of the work we leave behind. We'll handle the system so you don't have to.
We started this company in 2010 with a simple idea: do good HVAC work, be honest with customers, and show up when you say you will. What began as a small operation out of Cranston has grown steadily over the years, built almost entirely on referrals and repeat calls from customers who came back because we got it right the first time.
Sixteen years in this market means we know the housing stock here. We know the older colonial homes in the quieter Cranston neighborhoods that were built long before central air was standard. We know the commercial properties along the main corridors that run systems year-round. We know how a Providence County winter can push an aging furnace past its limit, and how a run of humid summer days will expose every weakness in an overworked AC unit.
That local familiarity is not something you can fake or import. Our reputation here is the only one we have. We also serve surrounding communities throughout Providence County, so whether you are in Cranston or a few towns over, you are getting the same team and the same standard of work. We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
What sets our technicians apart is straightforward: we show up on time and ready to work, we diagnose the problem honestly, and we explain what needs to be done before we do it. No guesswork, no pressure, no surprises on the invoice.
When you call, you reach a real person who can schedule your appointment and answer basic questions. When the technician arrives, they come prepared with the tools and parts needed for the most common repairs. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we clean up before we leave. After the job is done, we check the system to make sure everything is operating the way it should.
The process is the same whether you are a homeowner with a furnace that stopped working overnight or a property manager dealing with a commercial unit that went down on a Friday afternoon. Work is performed by qualified HVAC technicians who take the job seriously from the first call to the final check. We pick up the phone. We arrive on time. We check before we leave.
Rhode Island summers are humid, and a central air system that is not performing at its best makes that humidity feel worse than it is. We handle AC units that have stopped cooling, systems that are running but not keeping up, and everything in between. Common calls include refrigerant leak diagnosis, evaporator coil cleaning, condenser and compressor service, and units that are making noise they were not making before.
Spring tune-ups are a smart move before the heat arrives, and we offer same-day and emergency AC repair for systems that go down when you need them most. If your air conditioner is beyond repair, we can walk you through replacement options and handle the full installation.
Providence County winters are cold enough that a furnace that is not working is not a minor inconvenience. It is an urgent problem. We respond quickly to no-heat calls, furnaces blowing cold air, systems that cycle on and off without warming the space, and pilot or ignition failures. We also perform fall furnace tune-ups to catch problems before they become emergencies.
When a furnace has reached the end of its useful life, we handle full furnace replacement and installation. We give you a straightforward estimate before any work begins, and we explain all costs clearly so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Heat pumps have become a popular choice in Rhode Island for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. We install and service all major heat pump types, including ductless mini-split systems that work well in older homes without existing ductwork.
Common repair calls include heat pumps that are not heating or cooling effectively, refrigerant issues, and systems that are running but not reaching the set temperature. We also handle new heat pump installation for customers converting from older oil or gas systems, and ductless mini-split installation for additions, finished basements, and spaces that need independent climate control.
Leaking or poorly sealed ductwork can undermine even a well-maintained HVAC system, driving up energy costs and creating uneven temperatures from room to room. We inspect, repair, and seal ductwork to restore proper airflow and system efficiency.
Thermostat installation is another common request, including smart thermostat options like Nest and Ecobee that give homeowners more control over their comfort and their energy use. For customers concerned about air quality, we install whole-home air purifiers, UV air purifiers, and air filtration systems that work alongside the existing HVAC system. We stand behind every system we service, and that includes the smaller upgrades that make a real difference in daily comfort.
Dealing with a furnace that won't keep up or an AC that can't cool? We offer emergency HVAC service around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. A system that goes down in the middle of a January cold snap or a July heat wave is not something that can wait until Monday morning.
We take emergency calls from homeowners and commercial customers alike. Whether you manage a rental property and a tenant has no heat, or you run a business that cannot afford to have its HVAC system down, we respond quickly and work to get the system back up as fast as possible. Same-day service is available for many situations, and we keep the process calm and straightforward from the first call to the repair. We'll have your system running again in no time.
For homeowners and property managers who want it done right, we offer the same quality of work on the commercial side that we bring to every residential job. We service office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, multi-unit properties, and other commercial facilities throughout Cranston and the surrounding area.
Commercial HVAC work includes system repair, seasonal maintenance contracts, commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, and full system replacement when equipment has reached the end of its service life. Facilities managers and property owners can count on us for prompt scheduling, honest assessments, and clear communication throughout the job.
Getting your comfort back is easier than you think, and knowing what it will cost should not be a source of stress. Before any work begins, we give you a clear estimate that covers the scope of the job and the expected cost. If something changes once we are into the work, we communicate that before moving forward.
Whether you are asking about AC repair cost, furnace replacement cost, heat pump installation, or a seasonal tune-up, we will give you a straightforward answer when you call. We stand behind every system we service, and that commitment starts with honest pricing from the first conversation. We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
We are based in Cranston and work throughout Providence County. Our regular service area includes the surrounding communities of Warwick, Providence, Johnston, North Providence, West Warwick, and Coventry. If you are in one of these towns and need HVAC service, give us a call and we will get you scheduled.
We have been handling heating and cooling work for homes and businesses across Cranston and Providence County since 2010. Sixteen years in this market means we know the local housing stock, the older boiler and oil-heat systems common here, and what Rhode Island weather demands from an HVAC system.
When we schedule an appointment, we show up within the agreed window, prepared with the tools and parts for the most common repairs. If something changes on our end, we communicate that before the appointment time, not after.
We stand behind every system we service. If a repair we performed is not holding up the way it should, call us and we will make it right. That commitment applies to every job, residential or commercial.
The technician explains the diagnosis and the proposed repair before any work begins. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the job, we stop and communicate the change before moving forward. You will always know what is happening and what it costs.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, including evenings and weekends. For urgent no-heat and no-cool situations that fall within those hours, we respond as quickly as possible and keep same-day service available for calls that cannot wait.
When you call (401) 535-9789, you reach a real person who can schedule your appointment and answer basic questions. We do not put customers through a long wait before getting a real answer.
Yes. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we clean up before we leave. The job site should look the way we found it when we are 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.
