One system that heats in winter and cools in summer. We install ducted and ductless heat pumps, and we take houses off oil.
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel to make it. Today’s cold-climate models keep a house warm well below freezing, and they are your air conditioner in the summer.
The right setup depends on the house. We measure every room before we recommend anything, and the estimate is free.
A unit on the wall in each room that needs one, connected to one outdoor unit. No ducts, no opened ceilings.
If the house already has ductwork, a ducted heat pump can replace both the furnace and the central air.
Keep a boiler or furnace that still has years left and let the heat pump carry most of the winter. The old system takes over on the coldest nights.
Often the last thing left on oil or gas is the hot water. A heat pump water heater finishes the job.
Switching a whole house off oil is a bigger job than swapping a boiler. Here is every step, with how long each one takes.
Step 1 of 6
A technician measures every room, looks at the insulation and windows, checks the electrical panel and finds the oil tank. That decides the size of the system.
How long: About 90 minutes
From the first visit to the final inspection, most conversions take six to eight weeks. Most of that is permits and equipment on order. A crew is in your home for four or five of those days.
Yes, when it is sized for the house. Cold-climate models are rated for 5°F and below. We size from a room-by-room measurement, and if your boiler is still sound you can keep it as a backup for the coldest nights.
Yes, and your oil or gas bill goes down or away. Coming off oil, propane or electric baseboard, most homes come out ahead. Coming off natural gas the savings are smaller, and most people switch for the cooling and comfort.

We pump out the remaining oil, cut up and remove the tank, take the fill pipe off the outside wall and patch the siding. The leftover oil is credited on your invoice.
Sometimes. We look at your panel during the home visit and put any electrical work on the written estimate, so there are no surprises.
Thinking about a new boiler, furnace, air conditioner or heat pump? We come to the house, measure every room and send you a written estimate. There is nothing to sign at the visit.
