Millbury Federal Credit Union
Looking back at my 7 years as Facility Manager at Millbury Federal Credit Union, I would have to say that the day I brought Renaud HVAC in to service our equipment was one of the best moves I have ever made. We had a new system installed as part of our major Main Office expansion project. The complexity of this new system made it very difficult to balance and it was not living up to expectations.
Renaud experienced staff analyzed the system and made necessary corrections which resulted in a marked improvement in the building. Our four branches had been serviced by a variety of companies over the years and the result was a patchwork of repairs, also causing multiple problems. Renaud understood the issues and made the systems fully operational. In all my dealings with Renaud HVAC, They have always been thorough, trustworthy, responsive and professional.

Higgins Armory Museum
I had the opportunity to meet Brian a year or so ago when he delivered some needed parts to a job Mark was doing. He had never done any inside work till last week. Your HVAC guys never cease to impress me. Brian’s attention to detail and strong work ethics make him welcome in our facility at any time. Brian completed some much needed PM on AH4 condensing unit and continued to impress as he completed the filter/belt changes for the season. When the Higgins Armory Museum chose Renaud to be our HVAC service provider it was not based solely on cost. Our working relationship with each and every one of your employees is by far a determining factor. Brian and your team of HVAC techs make it any easy choice. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you and your entire staff for making my job a lot less stressful. We have over 80 million dollars in our collection and feel very comfortable having Renaud maintaining the equipment that keeps our entire collection climate controlled.
Keep up the great work!

Willard House & Clock Museum
Dear Ken,
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you on behalf of the Board and staff of the Willard House & Clock Museum for the excellent work Renaud HVAC performed in the installation of our new air conditioning systems at the museum. The new system is going to help the museum preserve and protect our collection of priceless objects for years to come. Not only was the system designed and installed with excellence, but your employees were professional, generous with their time and expertise, and incredibly careful when working around the objects in the museum. They were careful to be as minimally invasive to the historic 18th century building as well as to our day-to-day operations. I can not say enough about what a joy it was to work with everyone who was involved with the project. I wish you all continued success, and thank you for everything.

I wanted to take a minute and write to thank you for sending help when my Trane Chiller heaters shorted out. I know you guys are busy and being able to fit the Higgins in was a huge help. We had a very big weekend with Gaming Night, Star Wars, and the Beer Fest. With the temps reaching 90 degrees it would have been very uncomfortable in the building without you and your guys help. The chiller and tower are purring like a basket full of kittens. Thanks so much.
And then there's Dan. Every time I have one of your employees in the building, barring PM, is usually for some type of disaster. I can’t speak highly enough of your employees. I knew when Dan came out for the Chiller Heaters/AH3 that he was the right man for the AH3 Repair and could not have more correct. As with all your employees he has a great ability to form a game plan and follow it through till completion. You can be very proud of your staff. I never look forward to our next disaster, but I know when it happens that your professional staff will get us back on our feet as soon as possible. A truly great team to work with!
I’m sure I thanked Dan, but could you let him know that his professionalism and attention to detail does not go unnoticed and he and the rest of your well trained staff is why The Higgins Museum will continue to have Renaud HVAC provide our service for many years to come.
Thanks so much,
Pete Graupner

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
This memorandum is to attest to Renaud Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning & Controls, Inc. level of service, technical expertise and professionalism to the University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth over the past five years.
Renaud HVAC's level of service has been highly commendable. They have provided very timely response to our campus needs, routine and emergencies. Moreover, the service technicians are quite competent, well trained and have demonstrated that they may be counted on to accurately assess, troubleshoot, and repair myriad HVAC-related issues throughout our campus - a campus with 2.4M sq. ft of facilities with a customer base of 12,000+ patrons (faculty, staff and students). Renaud's service technicians have become very familiar with our infrastructure and, hence, have become "experts" on our systems - something that requires a significant "learning curve" for any new contractor who is unfamiliar with the university's systems. Lastly, from the many expert service technicians to the company's account manager for the university, Mr. Ken Boutiette, the level of professionalism has been above reproach. Renaud's employees interact well with faculty, administrators, staff and students - displaying a first-class commitment to professionalism and customer service. In short, this department recommends Renaud HVAC for continued consideration as a highly capable contractor worthy of placement on our Trade Labor Agreement Listing.

Ken/Nick,
You guys are probably getting tired of my "AttaBoy" emails but its your own fault. You have successfully cornered the market when it comes to employees. Whether its routine PM or some catastrophic failure your guys are incredible. Working in this building is a challenge. The building should be in its own museum but your guys keep it running like it was built yesterday. I have never once had a situation big or small that your techs could not remedy in quick fashion.
Joes performance yesterday as the temp hit zero was stellar. I like that word. It describes Renauds in one word.
I won't keep you but felt I needed to let you guys know how much your service/attention to detail means to me. If there ever comes a time when you need a reference in securing a contract please have them contact me.
For all you do...Thanks!
Peter Graupner, Higgins Museum
p.s. Recently I have had the chance to work with Kevin during PMs and the ongoing boiler repair. A true pleasure. You guys have done it again. Perfect fit. I know you guys have competition but can you really call it that? Your guys have crossed the finish line before the other guys know the starting gun went off!

They provide service ranging from preventive maintenance programs to replacing a failed boiler during severe weather events. The response time is critical for our department as we care for individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as, significant medical issues. Renaud has always responded to minimize the impact of environmental systems issues on our individuals and staff in a timely and professional manner and we never have to worry about the completeness or quality of their work.
