A Ductless Heat Pump Is Often the Perfect Solution
Posted on May 23, 2017
Ductless heat pumps have emerged as an ideal solution for heating and cooling in many eastern Massachusetts homes. If you have a room that is hard to heat for any reason (oversized windows, not attached to central heating, etc.) a ductless heat pump might be exactly what you need to make the room as comfortable and habitable as all your other rooms. When it’s cold outside, a heat pump works like an air conditioner in reverse. It extracts heat from the outdoor air and moves it indoors. You might think there is no heat in the outdoor air in winter, but a cold climate heat pump like the Mitsubishi H2i® can produce heat when the outdoor temperature is as low as -13°F. The heat pump also serves as an air conditioner in warm weather. Ductless heating enables you to add heat without installing a large indoor appliance or adding ductwork. The heat moves from an outdoor compressor to the room through narrow, flexible tubing that can be installed easily by a trained contractor. We are a Mitsubishi Preferred Diamond Contractor, which is great for our customers because we can provide a 12-year equipment warranty, more than double what most contractors offer. If you have a room that needs more heat, please give us a call at 508-398-6901 or contact us. We’ll help you figure out if a Mitsubishi H2i heat pump is right for you....

Service Team Installs Heating System for Veteran
Posted on May 23, 2017
Our service team recently had the privilege of helping out a local Korean War veteran by installing a new oil-fired boiler in his home at no cost to him. The gentleman had been living without heat in his home for two years after a plumber skipped off with the money he’d paid to have his old boiler replaced. Our team donated the time for the project under the Oil Heat Cares program, which helps people in need by providing new heating equipment. Several manufacturers donated equipment for the veteran, including a new boiler from Burnham, a new burner from R.W. Beckett, a new water heater from Emerson Swan, and a new oil tank from Roth....
