HVAC & Plumbing Services in Sherborn, MA
Get Your Home Comfortable Again Without the Stress
Sherborn homes run on their own wells, their own septic and, a lot of the time, their own oil or propane tank. That independence is part of the appeal until the boiler stops on a February night. One call puts a licensed technician on the road to you, whether it is a heating system that will not fire or a second floor that never cools off in July.
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 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 Installation & Replacement
Central air, ductless mini splits and cold climate heat pumps, sized from a proper load calculation on your home rather than copied from the tag on the old condenser.
- Central air systems
- Ductless mini splits for homes with no ductwork
- High velocity small duct for pre-war homes
- Cold climate heat pumps that heat and cool
- Load calculation on every quote
- Permits pulled and inspection scheduled
AC 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.
- System not cooling or blowing warm
- Ice on the refrigerant lines
- Water pooling around the air handler
- Breaker tripping or unit not starting
- Short cycling and weak airflow
- All major brands serviced
AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
A single visit each spring, before the first real heat, with a written multi-point checklist that keeps your manufacturer warranty in good standing.
- Coil clean and inspection
- Refrigerant charge check
- Capacitor and electrical test
- Condensate drain cleared
- Thermostat calibration
- Written report every visit
Heating in Sherborn, MA
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.
Heating Installation & Replacement
Gas furnaces, steam and hot water boilers, oil to gas conversions and cold climate heat pumps, each sized to the house itself instead of to whatever equipment happened to be there before.
- Gas furnaces
- Steam and hot water boilers
- Oil to gas conversions
- Cold climate heat pumps
- Radiant and ductless systems
- Old equipment removed, permits handled
Heating & Furnace Repair
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.
- No heat calls, 24/7
- Ignition and pilot failures
- Thermostat and control faults
- Circulator pump failure
- Boiler pressure loss
- Frozen condensate lines
Heating Maintenance & Tune-Ups
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 analysis
- Carbon monoxide test
- Heat exchanger inspection
- Burner clean and adjust
- Safety control test
- Flue and venting check
Plumbing in Sherborn, MA
The technicians who look after your heat can look after your water too. In older Sherborn homes, the plumbing and the heating system are often the same age and wear out on the same schedule.
Tanked & Tankless Water Heaters
Navien and Rinnai installation and replacement, including the gas line sizing, venting and condensate work most quotes leave out. Every home in Sherborn draws from a private well, so we go over water quality and descaling before you choose a unit.
- Navien, Rinnai and Rheem
- Gas line sizing and upgrades
- Venting and condensate routing
- Tank to tankless conversions
- Descaling and annual service
- Permits pulled
Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing
Fixtures, toilets, disposals, dishwasher lines and remodel rough-ins, priced in writing before the first wall or cabinet gets opened.
- Faucet and fixture installation
- Toilets, showers, tubs and vanities
- Garbage disposals
- Dishwasher and ice maker lines
- Remodel rough-in
- Leak and drain repair
Electrical and Indoor Air Quality 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.
Electrical Service & Panel Upgrades
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.
- 100 amp to 200 amp upgrades
- Dedicated HVAC circuits
- EV charger circuits
- Outlets, switches and lighting
- Code corrections
- Permits and inspection handled
Indoor Air Quality
Filtration, ventilation and humidity control that are planned with the rest of your system from the start, not tacked on at the end.

Sherborn HVAC and plumbing questions
Our Newton shop is roughly 30 minutes from the center of Sherborn, and our Franklin shop covers the south end of our territory. For no heat, no cooling, or an active leak, call the emergency line at (508) 470-4590. It is answered around the clock, and we add staff from December through February, when most no-heat calls come in.
Yes for most replacement and installation work. The Town of Sherborn Building Department issues building, sheet metal, gas, plumbing and electrical permits, and replacing a single heating system can require more than one of them. Massachusetts requires a licensed contractor to pull those permits, not the homeowner. We file the paperwork, book the inspections, and stay with the job through final sign-off.
It depends on the fuel, the type of system, and how much of the existing ductwork or piping can be reused. Replacing a furnace in a home with good ductwork is on the lower end. Swapping out an oil fired steam boiler in an older Sherborn farmhouse costs more, and a full heat pump conversion is higher again before rebates. We quote the actual job after looking at the actual basement, and you have the price in writing before any work starts.
That is common in Sherborn, especially in antique capes and farmhouses. Ductless mini splits usually make the most sense: one outdoor unit serving indoor heads in the rooms you use most, with no soffits and no lost closet space. A high velocity small duct system is the other route if you want the look of central air and have some chase space to work with. Both cool in summer, and the heat pump versions heat in winter too.
Yes. Many older Sherborn homes still run steam or gravity hot water that was converted long ago, and those systems need a technician who has spent real time on them. We service, repair and replace both, and we will give you a straight answer on whether a well-maintained old boiler still has years left or whether it is time to plan a replacement.
Sherborn homes are served by the Mass Save program, and qualifying air source heat pump installations are eligible for rebates and the 0% HEAT Loan. The amount depends on whether you convert the whole home or part of it, what system you are replacing, and your household eligibility. Rebate levels change year to year, so we confirm the current numbers for your project before you commit.
All of it, from the town center where Routes 16 and 27 meet out to the Framingham, Natick, Dover, Medfield, Millis, Holliston and Ashland lines, including the homes near Rocky Narrows and along the Charles River. ZIP code 01770.
All of it, under one company. Heating and cooling, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, tankless water heaters, electrical service and panel upgrades, and indoor air quality. That matters most on bigger projects: a heat pump conversion in an older Sherborn home often needs an electrical panel upgrade, and coordinating that across two contractors is usually where projects stall.
