No heat and no cooling calls
Bring Cool Air to the Top Floor of Your Medford Building
Hot third floor bedrooms. Window units humming in every bedroom. One central AC that cools the first floor and misses the rest. Buildings heated by a boiler usually have no ducts at all, which is why cooling them takes planning. We size up the building first, then repair or replace.
AC Installation & Replacement
A new AC should fit the space it cools. Before we quote, we do a room by room load calculation, and in a multi unit building we look at each apartment on its own. Then we lay out the choices so you can compare them.
No ducts in the building? A ductless mini split cools the rooms you pick without opening up walls. Ducts in one unit? A ducted system may fit there. Your written quote adds up the equipment, the labor, the permits and the 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
When the AC quits on a 90 degree day, the top floor feels it first. We send a technician from Newton, often the same day. We test the system, point out the failed part and quote the repair first.
If a repair costs more than the equipment is worth, we say so. Then 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 keeps a July breakdown from turning into a tenant’s phone call. The visit covers coil cleaning, a refrigerant check and tests of common failure parts such as capacitors and contactors. You get a written report after each visit, which helps if you manage more than one unit.
Many manufacturers ask for yearly service to keep a warranty in good standing, so this visit protects the equipment too.
- Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning
- Refrigerant level check
- Capacitor and contactor test
- Condensate drain flushed
- Thermostat check
- Written report every visit

Keep Every Floor Warm Through a Medford Winter, Steam Boiler Included
Steam boilers with radiators. Hot water boilers with baseboard. Gas furnaces, oil boilers and heat pumps. A Medford building can have any of these, and we work on all of them. In a two or three family, the goal is steady heat on every floor, a system that is easy to keep running, and a price you see first.
Furnace, Boiler & Heat Pump Installation
Replacing a boiler in a multi unit building is a big decision, so we start by looking. We check the piping, the radiators or baseboard, and how the building is split into units. Then we size the new system with a heat loss calculation, so it heats evenly and doesn’t waste fuel.
Some owners give each unit its own heating system so each household controls its own heat. Others keep one boiler and add zones. Leaving oil? If gas runs on your street, we can quote a switch. If it doesn’t, a cold climate heat pump may fit, and Mass Save rebates may help pay for it.
- 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
When a boiler quits in January, every unit in the building feels it. A cold night can freeze a pipe quickly. That’s why we answer no heat calls 24/7, all winter, from our Newton shop.
We repair steam and hot water boilers, gas furnaces and heat pumps. We track down the actual cause and explain the failure in everyday language. The repair price is agreed before we start fixing.
- 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 is the easy way to avoid a no heat call in the first cold week. We clean and adjust your boiler or furnace and check that it burns safely. On a steam boiler, we also check the water level controls and safety devices.
Gas and oil systems get a combustion test and a carbon monoxide check. That helps protect everyone living in the building and helps keep fuel bills down.
- Combustion analysis
- Carbon monoxide test
- Heat exchanger inspection
- Burner cleaning and adjustment
- Safety control test
- Flue and chimney vent check

Hot Water for Every Unit, Clear Drains and Pipes That Hold
Need a plumber for your Medford building? The team that keeps your building warm can also fix water heaters, faucets, toilets and leaks. One call covers the boiler, the hot water and the pipes. That helps when they all meet in the same basement and a tenant is waiting on an answer.
Tank & Tankless Water Heaters
No hot water on the second floor? Rust or a puddle under the tank? We repair and replace tank water heaters, and we install tankless units that heat water only when someone needs it.
In a multi unit building, a tankless unit can serve one apartment or the whole house, depending on the layout. A switch can also mean a bigger gas line, new venting and a condensate drain, and basement space can be tight. We go over every piece on the first visit so the written quote is complete.
- 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 wears on a tenant and on you. We handle the small fixes and the larger jobs, including new fixtures, dishwasher and ice maker lines and remodel rough-in.
The price is in writing before any work starts. If tenants live in the unit, we can schedule around their access.
- Faucet and sink installation
- Toilets, showers, tubs and vanities
- Garbage disposals
- Dishwasher and ice maker lines
- Remodel rough-in
- Leak, clog and drain repair

The quote comes in writing before we begin. For an active leak, call right away.
Add Heat Pumps or Cooling Without Overloading Your Building's Panel
Adding mini splits or central air to a multi unit building raises two questions. Can the electrical panel handle it? And can the air inside get cleaner too? We answer both on the same visit, so you don’t have to hire a separate electrician.
Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades
Older panels often don’t have room for a heat pump, central air or an EV charger, and a building with several units may have more than one panel. We check yours before you buy equipment, so install day has no surprises. Our electricians are licensed, and they take on panel upgrades, new circuits and everyday repairs, filing the permit and booking the inspection.
- 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 air needs help, not more dusting. We can tie filtration, humidity control and fresh air into the equipment already in your building.
Older buildings can be drafty and dry in winter. Tightly renovated units can trap stale air. We look at how the building breathes, then 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

Straight Answers for Medford Owners and Landlords
Our Newton shop is the closest to Medford, about 30 minutes from Medford Square, and it is open 24 hours. In an emergency at your building, call (617) 882-0409. Timing varies with the weather and call volume, and you get an honest time window by phone.
Many steam boilers run for decades, and a failed water level control, vent or pressure control is usually a repair. A leaking or cracked boiler section usually points to replacement. We show you the repair price and the replacement price side by side. Replacement can stay steam and reuse your radiators, or move to hot water, which can change the radiators and piping and is priced separately.
Often, yes. Hot water systems can usually be zoned by unit, and some owners install a separate boiler or heat pump system for each apartment. Steam systems are harder to split into zones. We look at your piping and who pays for the fuel, then quote the options so you can compare them.
We are a contractor, not a lawyer, so read the source: the state sanitary code is summarized on Mass.gov. During the heating season, habitable rooms must be at least 68 degrees from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and 64 degrees overnight. If your boiler can’t hold that, we find out why and tell you what it takes to fix it.
Ductless mini splits are usually the fix. One outdoor unit feeds slim indoor units in the rooms you choose, with no ducts to build. We check where the outdoor unit can sit, how the line set will run, and whether the panel has room. Heat pump versions also heat the unit in cooler weather.
Yes, if the basement layout allows it. One tankless unit can serve a single apartment, or a larger unit can serve the whole building. The job may need a bigger gas line, new venting and a condensate drain. We check all of that before we quote, so the written price covers it.
Yes for nearly every install or replacement. The City of Medford Building Department issues building, plumbing and gas, electrical, and sheet metal and mechanical permits, and its applications are filed online. In Massachusetts, licensed contractors pull plumbing, gas and electrical permits. We file them, book the inspection, and stay with it until it passes.
All of Medford, including ZIP codes 02155 and 02156. That covers Medford Square, West Medford, Wellington, Glenwood, Fulton Heights, South Medford and the Medford Hillside area near Tufts. Interstate 93 and Routes 16, 28, 38 and 60 all pass through the city, and we plan the drive from Newton around them.
