HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical in Dover, MA
Steady Heat, Even Cooling and Hot Water That Lasts
Dover houses tend to be big and spread out, on wooded lots set back from the road, and many run two or three heating and cooling systems. When one fails, a licensed technician comes from our Newton shop, about 20 minutes through Needham, and you see the price before any work begins.
Tell us a little about the house and the problem. We call back to book a real arrival time, not a vague window.

Central Air, Ductless and Heat Pumps in Dover, MA
Dover homes range from antique farmhouses near Dover Center to large newer houses with two or three cooling zones, and each one needs a system sized to how it is actually lived in.
AC Replacement in Dover
In September we replaced a two-zone system in a Dover home whose outdoor units dated to 2002 and still ran on R-22 refrigerant. The new setup pairs Trane condensers with new air handlers and a zoning panel, and our electrician wired a new breaker for each outdoor unit.
- Central air with two or three zones
- Ductless heads for rooms the ducts never reached
- Small duct systems for older houses
- Heat pumps that also handle winter heating
- Each zone sized before we price the job
- Permit and town inspection handled for you
Air Conditioning Repair
Warm air from the vents, a thermostat that will not shut the system off, water around an air handler. We send a technician from Newton, the same day when we can, and you hear the cause and the price before any repair starts.
- Warm air from the registers
- Condensate leaking from the air handler
- Thermostats that will not shut the system off
- Frozen coils and iced lines
- One zone cooling while another is not
- Trane, Carrier, Mitsubishi and other brands
Spring Cooling Tune-Ups
Book the cooling tune-up in spring, before the first hot week. At a Dover maintenance visit this summer, our technician cleaned the blower wheel, checked the electrical parts and measured about 50 degrees at every register. If your home has more than one system, each one gets checked.
- Outdoor and indoor coils cleaned
- Refrigerant pressures checked
- Capacitors and contactors tested
- Supply air temperature measured at each register
- Written report after every visit
Boilers, Furnaces and Heat Pumps for Dover Homes
Oil, propane, natural gas, steam, hot water and heat pumps all turn up in Dover basements, and our technicians work on every one of them.
Heating System Replacement
Steam and hot water boilers, gas furnaces and cold climate heat pumps, sized to how the house actually loses heat. In larger Dover homes that often means separate systems for each floor or wing, so we look at every zone before we recommend anything.
- Steam boilers and hot water boilers
- Oil to gas switches where gas is available
- Cold climate heat pumps for whole house heating
- Radiant floor heat and ductless systems
- Old equipment removed and the permit filed
No Heat and Boiler Repair
No heat, a burner that fires and then shuts down, knocking pipes, a boiler that keeps losing pressure. Our emergency line runs around the clock all heating season, because a cold night in Dover is not something you should have to wait out until morning.
- No heat calls taken around the clock
- Burners that light and then shut off
- Thermostat and zone control faults
- Failed circulators and stuck zone valves
- Boilers losing pressure
- Knocking and banging steam pipes
Fall Boiler and Furnace Tune-Ups
An early fall tune-up that includes a full combustion analysis and a carbon monoxide safety check. Plenty of companies leave that off the list. With oil and propane equipment so common in Dover, we never do.
- Carbon monoxide measured at the burner
- Heat exchanger checked for cracks
- Burner and nozzle cleaned
- Safety controls tested
- Chimney and vent connections checked
Plumbing and Water Heaters for Dover Homes
About two thirds of Dover homes draw water from private wells, and the town’s septic rules are stricter than the state minimum. Our plumbers plan around both, and because the same company handles your heating, one visit can cover the boiler, the water heater and the pipes in between.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Well water carries minerals that wear out a water heater early, so we test it before recommending a tank, a Navien or Rinnai tankless unit, or a heat pump model. Your quote includes the gas line, venting and drain work, and a yearly flush keeps the new heater going.
- Navien and Rinnai tankless heaters
- Rheem tank and heat pump models
- Gas lines resized for tankless
- Water tested before we recommend a unit
- Yearly flush and descaling
Leaks, Fixtures and Remodels
When a cracked hot water line in a Dover basement forced one homeowner to shut off water to the whole house, our plumber replaced the failed fitting and had water back on the next day. We handle fixtures, outdoor faucets and remodel rough-ins too, with the price in writing first.
- Sinks, faucets and vanities installed
- Outdoor faucets repaired or replaced
- Toilets, tubs and showers set
- Dishwasher and refrigerator lines
- Rough plumbing for remodels
Electrical Work and Cleaner Air in Dover, MA
Bigger houses run more equipment, and a new heat pump or second AC zone often needs more electrical capacity. Our own electricians and HVAC technicians plan the wiring and the system together, so you are not coordinating two companies.
Panel Upgrades, Circuits and Wiring
On the Dover AC replacement this September, our electrician wired a new breaker and power line for each outdoor unit and reconnected the existing air handler circuits that were still sound. When a panel is full, we upgrade it and pull the wiring permit.
- Service upgrades to 200 amps
- Dedicated circuits for each outdoor unit
- EV charger circuits
- Lighting, outlets and switches
- Wiring permit and town inspection
Cleaner, Healthier Indoor Air
Large houses with closed-off rooms and finished basements can feel stale or damp. Whole house filters, dehumidifiers and fresh air ventilation fix most of it, and we size each piece to work with the heating and cooling you already have.
- Whole house air filters
- UV lights for the indoor coil
- Winter humidifiers
- Basement dehumidifiers
- Fresh air exchangers
- Duct sealing
Recent Dover Projects
Three jobs our crews completed in Dover this year, with photos taken on site.
Two-zone AC replacement on 2002 equipment
The outdoor units dated to 2002 and still ran on R-22 refrigerant. In September we replaced them with new Trane condensers, installed new air handlers and a zoning panel, and our electrician wired a new breaker for each outdoor unit.
A 3 ton Trane heat pump with an attic air handler
In June we set a 3 ton Trane heat pump rated 18 SEER2 on a stand beside the house and paired it with a new air handler in the attic, giving the home efficient cooling and electric heat from one system.
A summer tune-up with readings at every register
On a Comfort Plus visit for a 2019 Trane system, our technician cleaned the blower wheel, tested the electrical parts and measured about 50 degrees coming out of each register, a sign the system was cooling as it should.

Common Questions From Dover Homeowners
Call (508) 301-3470 day or night. Our Newton shop is about 20 minutes from Dover Center through Needham, and our Franklin shop covers the south end of town. In winter the line is busiest at night, so tell us if the house is losing heat fast or if anyone at home is vulnerable to the cold.
We do. The Town of Dover Building Department issues building permits, and the town’s gas and plumbing inspector and wiring inspector cover the rest, so one heating replacement can need several permits. Massachusetts requires a licensed contractor to pull them. We file each one and stay on the job through final inspection.
Mostly the size of the house, the number of zones and how much existing ductwork or piping can be reused. A single furnace swap costs far less than replacing a steam boiler or converting a large multi-zone home to heat pumps. We measure every zone, put the price in writing, and include permits and removal of the old equipment.
Ductless mini splits are the usual fix, with one outdoor unit serving several wall heads so each room has its own control. In older farmhouses near Dover Center, small duct systems are another option when there is room in closets or the attic. Heat pump versions of both also heat the house in winter.
Yes. Many older Dover homes still heat with steam, or with gravity hot water converted decades ago. We service, repair and replace both, and when an old boiler still has good years left, we say so instead of selling a replacement.
Qualifying air source heat pumps in Dover can earn Mass Save rebates and the 0% HEAT Loan. The amount depends on whether the heat pump replaces your heating or works alongside it, which fuel you use now, and your household income. We confirm current rebates for your project before you sign.
Yes, from Dover Center out to the Sherborn, Medfield, Walpole and Westwood lines. That includes homes along Centre Street, Farm Street, Dedham Street, Springdale Avenue and Pine Street, and the neighborhoods near Noanet Woodlands and the Charles River. ZIP code 02030.
Yes. On the Dover AC replacement this fall, our HVAC crew and electrician worked from one estimate and one schedule. A heat pump job often needs panel work and condensate drains as well, and keeping it with one company keeps the project moving.
