Hub Refrigeration

Hub Refrigeration works out of Quincy on commercial refrigeration and HVAC — the kind of work a grocery store, restaurant, or cold-storage facility calls when a walk-in cooler or rooftop unit goes down, not typical residential service. The company says it has been running since 1947 and describes itself as part of a family of companies alongside Medford Wellington Service Co., Inc. and Morris Mechanical. The public review trail is thin and mixed. Google shows 2.6 stars from just five ratings, while other directories put it closer to 3 stars on three or four reviews — a spread that itself says the numbers aren't settled. The one detailed recent account, from May 2026, isn't about a repair at all: it describes a company driver failing to stop for a pedestrian in a Salem crosswalk, which is the only specific, dated story currently on record. Its Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ grade with no complaints logged, though the business hasn't sought BBB accreditation. On the technical side, the company points to OSHA and Hot Works certification, factory training on Hillphoenix and Kysor Warren refrigeration racks, and status as a state-certified apprentice sponsor — credentials that matter for commercial refrigeration work. It also holds a Massachusetts Department of Public Safety license (#023745) and a separate refrigeration contractor license (#000959), and it has been listed in the Blue Book trade directory since 1987. This reads like a long-tenured commercial shop with real trade credentials but very little public reputation to check before booking. Worth asking directly for references from a recent commercial refrigeration or HVAC job, since the review trail here is too sparse to lean on by itself.
