AC and Heat Pumps for Franklin Homes
Franklin’s houses cover a wide span: about half were built since 1985, and roughly one in seven predates 1940. A 1990s colonial and an older house near the Town Common cool very differently, so we size each system to the house in front of us.
Central Air and Ductless Installation
This summer we added cooling to a Franklin colonial that had never had it: a Mitsubishi four-zone heat pump with wall units in the kitchen, living room and music room, plus a two-ton attic air handler for the bedrooms, all on one outdoor unit.
- Central air using your existing ducts
- Multi-zone ductless heat pumps
- Unico small-duct systems for tight attics
- Attic air handlers for second floors
- Cooling needs measured room by room
- Town permits and inspections included
AC Repair Close to Home
Our trucks start each day on Grove Street, so a Franklin repair call is a short trip. We look at the refrigerant charge, the coil, the drain and the electrical parts, then explain what failed and what the repair costs before any work starts.
- Air blowing warm or barely moving
- Ice building on the copper lines
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Outdoor unit tripping its breaker
- System cycling on and off quickly
- Repairs on all major brands
Yearly AC Maintenance
A spring visit before the first heat wave keeps small problems from turning into breakdowns. We clean the coils, check the charge and the drain, and test the capacitor and contactor, and you get a written report of what we found.
- Condenser and evaporator coils cleaned
- Refrigerant charge measured
- Start and run capacitors tested
- Condensate line flushed
- Thermostat accuracy checked
- Written findings after each visit

Heating Service for Franklin Homes
Natural gas heats most Franklin homes, about one in five still burns oil, and the rest use electric heat or propane. We install and repair furnaces, boilers, baseboard and heat pumps for all of them.
Furnace and Boiler Replacement
In July we replaced a Franklin system whose air conditioner dated to about 1986, installing a two-stage Trane gas furnace in the basement and a new Trane condenser outside. Our electrician found the panel full and added the outdoor GFCI service outlet the old setup was missing.
- Gas furnaces, single and two stage
- Hot water and steam boilers
- Converting from oil to gas
- Cold climate heat pump systems
- Ductless and radiant heating options
- Removal of the old system and all permits
Heating Repair in Franklin
When the heat goes out, our technicians are already in town, and the emergency line is answered all winter, nights included. We track down the failed part, whether it is an igniter, a pressure switch or a circulator, and give you the repair price first.
- Emergency no heat service
- Igniters and flame sensors
- Pressure switches and control boards
- Circulator pumps
- Boiler pressure problems
- Frozen condensate drains
Heating Tune-Ups Each Fall
Book the heating tune-up in early fall. Every gas, oil and propane system we service gets a combustion analysis and a carbon monoxide check, along with a look at the heat exchanger, the burner and the venting.
- Combustion readings recorded
- Carbon monoxide checked
- Heat exchanger looked over
- Burner cleaned and flame adjusted
- Safety limits tested
- Flue pipe and venting checked
Furnace out in Franklin?
Our emergency line covers no heat calls all winter. Quotes on a replacement are free.
Franklin Plumbers for Leaks, Fixtures and Water Heaters
Our plumbers work from the same Grove Street shop as our heating technicians. That helps when the boiler, the water heater and the pipes between them all need attention, because one company can handle the whole job on one schedule.
Water Heater Installation and Repair
Franklin’s town water comes from local wells, and minerals in any water can build up inside a heater over the years. We look at your water before recommending a tank or a Navien or Rinnai tankless unit, and the quote covers the gas line and venting.
- Navien, Rinnai and Rheem units
- Gas lines sized for the new load
- New venting and condensate drains
- Switching from tank to tankless
- Annual descaling service
- Plumbing permits pulled
Kitchen, Bath and Leak Repairs
New faucets, toilets, dishwasher lines and remodel rough-ins are priced in writing before we start. Some Franklin homes are on town sewer and others are on septic, so we confirm which one you have and plan the work around it.
- Faucets and fixtures
- Toilet, tub and shower installs
- Garbage disposal installs
- Dishwasher and fridge water lines
- Remodel rough-in plumbing
- Leaks and slow drains

Active leaks go straight to the emergency line. For anything else, request a written quote.
Electrical Upgrades and Indoor Air in Franklin
Adding a heat pump or central air usually raises questions about the electrical panel and the air inside the house. Our licensed electricians and HVAC technicians work out of the same Franklin shop, so both get handled on one estimate.
Panels, Circuits and Electrical Service
On the July furnace and AC replacement, the existing 200 amp panel was already full, so our electrician worked within it, replaced the old AC disconnect and added the outdoor service outlet with GFCI protection. When a panel needs more room, we upgrade it and pull the permit.
- Moving from 100 amp to 200 amp service
- New circuits for heat pumps and AC
- Wiring for EV chargers
- Outlet, switch and lighting work
- Fixing wiring that is not up to code
- Electrical permits and town inspections
Ductwork and Indoor Air
Leaky, uninsulated ductwork can leave bedrooms stuffy no matter how good the equipment is. This fall we repaired, sealed, insulated and balanced the basement ducts in a Franklin home while replacing its furnace, to get more air to the bedrooms.
- Duct sealing and insulation
- Airflow balancing
- Whole house filtration
- Whole house humidifiers and dehumidifiers
- UV lights for cleaner air
- Fresh air exchange
Considering a heat pump?
We price the equipment and any panel work together on a single estimate.
Recent Franklin Installs
Three installations our crews finished in Franklin this summer, photographed on the job.
First-time cooling with a four-zone Mitsubishi
This colonial had never had air conditioning. In August we installed a Mitsubishi four-zone heat pump rated 23 SEER2, with wall units in the kitchen, living room and music room and a two-ton air handler in the attic feeding new ducts to the upstairs bedrooms.
A Unico small-duct system replaced in the attic
The house already relied on a Unico small-duct system in the attic. In July we replaced it with new Unico cooling and blower modules, a new expansion valve and a Trane condenser, and our electrician installed a new outdoor disconnect.
A 1980s air conditioner and furnace replaced
The air conditioner dated to about 1986. In July we replaced it with a new Trane condenser and installed a two-stage Trane gas furnace in the basement, and our electrician added the outdoor GFCI outlet the old setup was missing.

Answers for Franklin Homeowners
The number is (508) 301-3470, staffed day and night. Our shop at 120 Grove Street is a few minutes from downtown and near the Route 140 exit off I-495, so most of Franklin is a short drive. Winter nights are the busiest time on the emergency line, so let us know if the house is cooling down fast.
Most replacements and new installs do. The Franklin Building & Inspections Department issues building, sheet metal, electrical, plumbing and gas permits, and one heating replacement can involve several of them. State law requires a licensed contractor to pull them. We apply online, book the inspection and stay with the job until it passes.
The fuel, the type of system and how much of the existing ductwork or piping can stay. Replacing a gas furnace on good ductwork costs the least, a boiler on hot water baseboard costs more, and converting from oil or switching to a heat pump costs more again before rebates. You get the number in writing first.
Ductless heat pumps are the usual route, and they can be paired with a small ducted unit. The Franklin home we cooled for the first time this summer got three wall units downstairs and a small attic air handler for the bedrooms, all on one outdoor unit. Small-duct systems like Unico are another option for older houses.
Yes. Roughly one Franklin home in five still heats with oil, and we service, repair and replace oil, propane and gas boilers. When gas runs on your street we can also quote a conversion, and we will tell you honestly if your current boiler has good years left.
Yes. A qualifying air source heat pump in Franklin is eligible for Mass Save rebates and the 0% HEAT Loan. The amount depends on whether the heat pump replaces your heating or supplements it, which fuel it replaces, and your household income. We check current amounts before you commit.

Yes. Our HVAC technicians, plumbers and electricians all work for the same company, so a heat pump conversion that needs a panel upgrade, new circuits or condensate drains stays on one estimate and one schedule.
