Central Air and Heat Pumps for Upton Houses
Many Upton homes cool with a split system, so we check the age, refrigerant and ductwork before recommending a fix.
New Central Air and Ducted Heat Pumps
When an old outdoor AC unit is replaced, the indoor part usually has to go with it so the two match. In August we replaced both for an Upton home.
- Outdoor unit plus matching coil
- Attic air handler swaps
- Ductless heads, no ductwork needed
- Cold climate heat pump installs
- Sized to your house
- Electrical and sheet metal permits
Fixing Central Air That Fails
Upton central air over 15 years old quit this August, and we were there the next day. We quote repairs on site, or tell you plainly when to replace.
- Warm rooms with AC on
- Frost on copper lines
- Water around attic air handler
- Outdoor fan or compressor stopped
- Blank thermostat screen
- Trane, Carrier, Mitsubishi and more
Cooling Tune-Ups Before Summer
A spring checkup finds failing capacitors, dirty coils and clogged drains. Attic units matter most, since an overflowing pan sits right above a ceiling.
- Outdoor coil washed down
- Refrigerant pressures logged
- Start parts put on a meter
- Drain line and pan cleared
- Filter replaced
- A written summary of findings

Keeping Upton Homes Warm Through the Winter
We service gas, oil and propane heat, boilers and heat pumps in Upton, with a combustion test on every fuel burning system.
Replacing a Furnace, Boiler or Heat Pump
A heat loss calculation shows the heat the house really needs. On a gas street we compare gas with heat pumps; otherwise oil, propane and heat pumps.
- Gas furnaces 95% efficient or better
- Gas or oil boilers
- Propane equipment
- Heat pumps, ducted or ductless
- Radiant floor heating
- Old unit and tank removal
Repairs When the Heat Stops
A furnace that quits in January can freeze pipes within hours, so Upton no heat calls go straight to our on call technicians, day or night.
- Overnight no heat calls
- Failed igniters, dirty flame sensors
- Failed draft fans and switches
- Boiler circulators and zone valves
- Thermostats that lose power
- Frozen furnace condensate lines

Plumbers and Water Heater Installs in Upton
Our licensed plumbers and heating technicians work for one company, so a furnace visit can catch a water heater problem too.
Water Heater Replacement

- Gas tank water heaters
- Tankless units
- Electric heat pump water heaters
- Gas line and venting changes
- Water heater safety valves
- Plumbing and gas permits pulled

- Vanities and disposals
- Dishwasher and ice maker hookups
- Remodel rough-ins

Wiring and Air Quality in Upton Homes
New AC or heat pump equipment usually needs wiring, which our own electricians handle, and the same visit can cover filtration.
Panels, Circuits and Shutoffs
A full or outdated panel cannot take new equipment. We add circuits, swap panels and install outdoor shutoffs, and file the Upton electrical permit for you.
- Service bumped to 200 amps
- Subpanels for full main panels
- Separate circuits for HVAC units
- Disconnects with surge protection
- GFCI and weatherproof outlets
- New circuits for EV chargers
Cleaner Indoor Air
A filter that is the wrong size lets dust coat the cooling coil and cuts airflow. We can add a media cabinet, humidifier, dehumidifier or fresh air ventilation.
- Media filters in a cabinet
- UV lamps beside the coil
- Humidifiers for the heating season
- Dehumidifiers for damp cellars
- Fresh outdoor air ventilation
- Duct joints sealed with mastic

We price the heat pump and its electrical work in one quote.

Usually not on an older system. New outdoor units need a matching indoor unit to work right, which is why our August Upton job replaced both.
Once a year, ideally in early fall, with a test of how efficiently it burns and a carbon monoxide check. A 16 year old Upton furnace we tested this September was at 94.8% efficiency with a safe carbon monoxide reading.
