Cool Every Floor of Your Brookline Home Without Tearing Into the Walls
Radiators heat a house well, but they do nothing in July. So you buy window units, and they block the view, rattle at night and still miss the back bedroom. There is a better way to cool an older Brookline home. We look at how your house is built, then recommend a system that fits it.
AC Installation & Replacement
Most radiator homes have no ducts, and cutting new ones through plaster ceilings and original trim is rarely worth it. A ductless mini split uses one outdoor unit and slim indoor units in the rooms you choose. Some homes with open attic or basement space can take a small duct system instead.
Our quote starts with a load calculation for each room. Then we show you the options side by side. The quote you receive is in writing and includes equipment, labor, permits and cleanup.
- Central air on existing ductwork
- Ductless mini splits for homes without ducts
- Small duct high velocity systems
- Cold climate heat pumps that heat and cool
- Room by room load calculation
- Permit and town inspection handled
AC Repair
An AC that stops on a hot afternoon needs a quick visit and a clear answer. A technician from our Newton shop comes out, often the same day. We test the unit, show you the failed part, and quote the repair before we touch anything.
Sometimes a repair costs more than the system is worth. If that is the case, we say so and let you decide.
- Blowing warm air or not cooling
- Ice on the lines or the indoor coil
- Water leaking near the air handler
- Outdoor unit humming but not starting
- Short cycling or weak airflow
- Central air, heat pumps and mini splits
AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A spring check is the easy way to head off a July breakdown. We clean the coils, check the refrigerant and test parts that wear out, like capacitors and contactors. After each visit you get a written report.
Mini splits also need clean filters and clear condensate drains, so we cover those on the same visit.
- Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning
- Refrigerant level check
- Capacitor and contactor test
- Condensate drain flushed
- Thermostat check
- Written report every visit

Steady Radiator Heat for Brookline Winters, With No Surprises
Steam radiators. Hot water boilers. Baseboard, furnaces and heat pumps. Brookline buildings use many kinds of heat, and we work on all of them. Whatever warms your home, the goal is the same: even heat in every room, a system you can rely on, and a price you see first.
Furnace, Boiler & Heat Pump Installation
Replacing a boiler or furnace is a big decision, and it should not rest on a guess. We start with the house, the fuel it burns and the equipment already in place. Then we size the new one with a heat loss calculation, so every room heats evenly and the system does not waste fuel.
Want to keep your radiators? A new boiler can feed the pipes you already have. Want cooling too? A heat pump can carry part or all of the load, and Mass Save rebates may help pay for it. If gas runs on your street, we can also quote gas heat.
- Gas furnaces
- Gas and oil boilers
- Oil to gas conversions
- Cold climate heat pumps
- Ductless and radiant heat
- Old equipment hauled away, permits filed
Furnace & Boiler Repair
A cold apartment or a frozen pipe cannot wait for Monday. That is why we answer no heat calls 24/7 all winter, from our Newton shop.
We repair gas and oil boilers, furnaces, circulator pumps, radiator valves and heat pumps. We find the cause, explain it in plain words, and give you the price before we fix anything.
- No heat calls answered 24/7
- Furnace won't light or keeps shutting off
- Boiler losing pressure or leaking
- Circulator pump and zone valve problems
- Thermostat and control faults
- Frozen condensate lines on high efficiency units
Heating Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A fall tune-up finds a weak part before the first cold snap. We clean and adjust your boiler or furnace and confirm that it burns safely.
Gas, oil and propane systems get a combustion test and a carbon monoxide check. For radiator homes we also look at the radiators, the system pressure and the boiler controls.
- Combustion analysis
- Carbon monoxide test
- Heat exchanger inspection
- Burner cleaning and adjustment
- Safety control test
- Flue and chimney vent check

Steady Hot Water and Leak Free Pipes in Your Brookline Home
Calling a plumber in Brookline? The team that fixes your boiler can also fix your water heater, faucets, toilets and leaks. In an older building the heating pipes and the water pipes can run through the same basement or wall, so one visit can cover both.
Tank & Tankless Water Heaters
No hot water, rust in the tap or water under the tank? We repair and replace tank water heaters, and we install tankless units that heat water on demand. If your boiler feeds an indirect tank, we service that too.
A tankless switch can mean a new gas line, new venting and a condensate drain. We check all of it on the first visit, so your written quote has no gaps.
- Tank water heater repair and replacement
- Tankless water heater installation
- Gas line sizing and upgrades
- Venting and condensate drain work
- Descaling and yearly flushing
- Permits filed with the town
Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing
A dripping faucet, a running toilet or a slow drain adds up fast. We fix those. We also handle bigger work: new fixtures, dishwasher and ice maker lines, and plumbing rough-in for a kitchen or bathroom remodel.
In an older home, you can find surprises behind a wall, like worn pipe. We tell you what we find and price it before we continue.
- Faucet and sink installation
- Toilets, showers, tubs and vanities
- Garbage disposals
- Dishwasher and ice maker lines
- Remodel rough-in
- Leak, clog and drain repair

Power the New System and Clean the Air With One Contractor, Not Two
A heat pump or mini split brings up two questions. Can your electrical panel take it? And can the air in the house get cleaner at the same time? One visit answers both questions, which spares you a second contractor.
Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades
Many older panels have no open slots for a heat pump, a mini split or an EV charger. We check the panel before you buy equipment, so install day has no surprises. Our licensed electricians handle panel upgrades, new circuits and everyday electrical work, with permits and inspections included.
- 100 amp to 200 amp panel upgrades
- Dedicated circuits for HVAC equipment
- EV charger circuits
- Outlets, switches and lighting
- Code corrections
- Permits and inspection handled
Indoor Air Quality
Dust on every surface, stuffy rooms and dry winter air mean the house needs better air, not more cleaning. Whole home filtration, humidity control and fresh air ventilation can be added to your current system.
Older buildings can be drafty and dry, while tighter renovated ones can trap stale air. We look at how your home breathes and recommend only what it needs.
- Whole home air filtration
- UV air purification
- Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
- Fresh air ventilation
- Duct sealing and repair
- Help with allergy and mold concerns

Brookline HVAC and Plumbing Questions We Hear Often
Our Newton shop is the closer of our two shops to Brookline, about 20 minutes away, and it is open 24 hours. To reach a technician right now, call (617) 882-0409. On a busy night the wait depends on the weather and call volume, so you get a real window when you phone.
Usually, yes, for installs and replacements. The Brookline Building Department handles building, plumbing, gas, electrical and mechanical permits, and one job can need more than one. In Massachusetts, licensed contractors pull the plumbing, gas and electrical permits. We file them, book the inspections and stay with the job until it passes.
All of Brookline, including Coolidge Corner, Brookline Village, Washington Square, Chestnut Hill and South Brookline. That covers ZIP codes 02445, 02446 and 02467, out to the Newton line and the Boston border. We also serve Newton, where our shop is.
The rule, described on the town’s Fossil Fuel Free Buildings page, covers new construction and major renovations. A major renovation is one that needs a building permit and reconfigures more than half of a building’s area, and those projects cannot install new combustion equipment. The town’s page does not address replacing a boiler in an existing building, so if you plan a large renovation, ask the Building Department before you pick equipment. We can quote a heat pump option either way.
Yes. A radiator system has no ducts, so the usual answer is a ductless mini split with one outdoor unit and slim indoor units in the rooms you choose. Heat pump versions also warm those rooms in spring and fall. Your boiler and radiators stay as they are.
We plan the route before any work starts. Mini splits need only a small opening for the lines, and we can run them through closets, along existing chases or behind a trim cover where that works. We walk you through where each indoor unit and line goes, so nothing about the install is a surprise.
A new boiler keeps your radiators and gives you reliable heat, but it does not cool. A heat pump adds cooling and can carry part or all of the heating load. We price both side by side, and Mass Save rebates may apply to the heat pump option.
Maybe. It depends on how much capacity your panel has left and how big the new system is. We check the panel before you buy equipment, and if an upgrade is needed it goes into the same written price, with the permit and inspection handled for you.
