United Refrigeration Inc

United Refrigeration isn't a crew that shows up to fix your furnace — it's the counter contractors call when they need the part. Based at 69 Inner Belt Rd in Somerville, the company describes itself as a wholesale distributor of refrigeration and HVAC replacement parts and equipment, selling through branch locations to the trade rather than direct to homeowners. The praise that surfaces is counter-service praise: one customer credits the staff with tracking down a compressor to the exact specifications needed and calling another store to hold it, and others call it a well-stocked, helpful HVAC supply house. A separate mention singles out a staffer named Charlie as professional and knowledgeable, though it isn't clear from that quote whether the work happened at a home or through the branch. Google has it at 4.9 stars from 14 ratings, echoed by a similar 4.9 listing on Mass Home Comfort, and nothing negative turns up across the sources checked — a few directory pages just haven't collected a review yet. If you're a homeowner rather than a contractor, this is likely the wrong door to knock on for an installation or repair job — worth a call first to confirm whether they dispatch a tech directly or are purely a parts source for the pros who'd do that work.
