Sherborn, MA HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical Service
Comfort for Homes That Run on Their Own Well, Septic and Fuel
Almost every Sherborn home has its own well, its own septic system and often its own oil or propane tank, so the heating and plumbing have to work without much backup. When something stops, a licensed technician drives out from our Newton shop, about 30 minutes away, and quotes the repair before starting.
Give us a quick rundown of the problem. We will call you back with a specific appointment time, not a two week window.

Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps in Sherborn, MA
Plenty of Sherborn houses, from antique capes near the town center to farmhouses on the back roads, were built with no thought of central air. We design the system around the house you have.
AC and Heat Pump Installation
Many Sherborn homes were never built for central air. For one older house in town we installed a Trane variable speed heat pump and ran new ducts to every first floor room and up to the second and third floors, split into two zones so each level holds its own temperature.
- Central air on the ducts already in place
- Ductless wall units for rooms without ducts
- Small duct systems for antique houses
- Variable speed heat pumps
- Dual fuel setups with a gas or oil backup
- Load calculation before any quote
Cooling System Repair
No cold air, frozen refrigerant lines, a puddle by the air handler, a breaker that trips every afternoon. We offer same-day appointments when the schedule allows, and the 24/7 line covers the calls that cannot wait.
- No cold air from the vents
- Refrigerant lines frosting over
- Water collecting near the air handler
- Breakers that trip every afternoon
- Systems that cycle on and off
- Central air and ductless brands
AC Maintenance Visits
Schedule the AC visit in spring, before the heat arrives. On a Comfort Plus tune-up in Sherborn this April, our technician serviced a 2014 Trane system and read 45 to 46 degrees at the supply registers, a healthy result going into summer. You get the readings in writing.
- Coil cleaning
- Refrigerant check
- Capacitor and wiring test
- Filter checked
- Condensate line cleared
- Supply air readings in writing
Boilers, Furnaces and Heat Pumps in Sherborn
Oil, propane, natural gas, steam, hot water and heat pumps. Sherborn homes use every one of them, and our technicians work on all of them.
New Heating Systems
Oil, propane and gas boilers, gas furnaces and heat pumps, each sized to the house. One Sherborn family now heats with a variable speed heat pump most of the winter and an 80,000 BTU Trane gas furnace that takes over in deep cold, all run from two ecobee thermostats.
- Gas furnaces and condensing boilers
- Steam and hot water boiler replacement
- Converting oil systems to gas
- Heat pumps paired with a backup furnace
- Radiant and ductless heat
- Permit filed and old unit hauled away
Heating Repair and No Heat Calls
No heat, a burner that lights and cuts out, banging pipes, a boiler that will not hold pressure. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock through the heating season, so a breakdown on a cold Sherborn night does not have to wait for morning.
- Emergency no heat visits
- Oil and propane burner faults
- Ignition and flame failures
- Circulator pumps that stop
- Boilers that will not hold pressure
- Frozen condensate drains
Fall Heating Maintenance
An early fall tune-up with a complete combustion analysis and a carbon monoxide safety check. Many companies skip that step. In a town where so many homes burn oil or propane, we treat it as the most important part of the visit.
- Combustion efficiency test
- CO reading at the flue
- Close look at the heat exchanger
- Oil burner nozzle and filter changed
- Safety limits and switches tested
- Flue pipe and chimney checked
Sherborn Plumbing and Water Heaters
Sherborn has no public water or sewer system, so nearly every home relies on a private well and a septic system, and the whole town sits in a nitrogen sensitive area under the state’s Title 5 rules. Our plumbers keep both in mind on every job, from a new fixture to a full remodel.
Water Heaters for Well Water
Well water can be hard on a water heater, so we test it before suggesting a tank or a Navien or Rinnai tankless model. Tankless units also need their condensate drained properly, and we handle the gas line sizing, venting and condensate pump as part of the install.
- Navien and Rinnai tankless
- Rheem tank models
- Water test before install
- Condensate pumps and drains
- Annual descaling
- Plumbing permit filed
Kitchen and Bath Plumbing
Fixtures, toilets, disposals, dishwasher lines and remodel rough-ins, priced in writing before the first wall or cabinet gets opened.
- New faucets and fixtures
- Toilet, tub and shower replacement
- Garbage disposals, septic permitting
- Dishwasher and icemaker hookups
- Remodel rough plumbing
- Leak repairs
Electrical Service and Indoor Air in Sherborn, MA
Right after a heat pump quote, these are the two questions we hear most. Both are handled by our own team, so there is no second contractor to schedule around.
Panels and Wiring
Panel upgrades for heat pump and whole-home AC conversions, plus general electrical work, completed by our own licensed electricians. Older homes switching away from oil or propane often need the extra capacity.
- New 200 amp panels
- Heat pump and AC circuits
- EV charger hookups
- Outlets, lights and switches
- Code fixes
- Wiring permits handled
Indoor Air
Filtration, ventilation and humidity control that are planned with the rest of your system from the start, not tacked on at the end.
- Media air filters
- UV lamps
- Whole house humidifiers
- Ventilators that bring in fresh air
- Sealing leaky ducts
- Help for allergy and mold worries
Recent Work Around Sherborn
Two projects from Sherborn homes, with photos our technicians took on the job.
Dual fuel heat pump with new ducts on three floors
A Trane variable speed heat pump now handles most of the heating and all of the cooling in this Sherborn home, with an 80,000 BTU Trane gas furnace as backup on the coldest days. We ran new ducts to every first floor room and up to the second and third floors, split into two zones on ecobee thermostats.
Spring AC tune-up with readings at the registers
On a Comfort Plus visit this April, our technician serviced a 2014 Trane XR16 central air system, checked the filter and measured 45 to 46 degrees at the supply registers, a sign the system was cooling well heading into summer.

Sherborn Homeowner Questions
Reach us at (508) 301-3470 any time of day or night. Our Newton shop is about 30 minutes from the center of Sherborn, and our Franklin shop covers calls from the south. Most no-heat calls come in on cold nights, so tell us if the house is losing heat fast.
We do. The Town of Sherborn Building Department issues building, sheet metal, gas, plumbing and electrical permits, and a single heating replacement often needs more than one. Massachusetts requires a licensed contractor to pull them, so we file each permit and stay with the job through final inspection.
It depends on the fuel, the type of system and how much existing ductwork or piping can be reused. A furnace swap in a house with good ducts sits at the low end, while replacing an oil fired steam boiler or adding ducts through three floors costs more. You get the price in writing after we see the house.
Ductless mini splits are often the simplest answer in antique capes and farmhouses, with indoor units only in the rooms you use. If you want central air, new ducts can often be routed through closets and chases, the way we ran them to three floors in one Sherborn home. Heat pump versions of either also heat in winter.
Yes. Plenty of older Sherborn homes heat with steam or with gravity hot water that was converted long ago. We service, repair and replace both, and we will tell you plainly whether a well kept boiler has years left or whether it is time to plan for a new one.
Heat pumps that meet Mass Save requirements can qualify for rebates and the 0% HEAT Loan. The amount depends on whether the heat pump heats the whole house or works alongside a furnace or boiler, what fuel you use now, and your household income. We confirm the current figures for your project before you commit.
Every part of town, from the center where Routes 16 and 27 meet out to the Framingham, Natick, Dover, Medfield, Millis, Holliston and Ashland lines, including homes near Rocky Narrows and along the Charles River. ZIP code 01770.
Yes. Our own HVAC technicians, plumbers and electricians work from one estimate and one schedule. That helps most on a heat pump conversion in an older Sherborn home, which often needs more electrical capacity and new condensate drainage along with the equipment.
