Who we are

A small company that does the whole job.

Most of our work is replacing old furnaces and converting homes from oil or electric heat to gas. We size every system for the house it goes in, handle the duct work ourselves, and come back the next season to check on it.

Measured before we quote

We come out and measure the house first, so the system we recommend is sized for the house it goes in, not guessed from the old one.

Explained before work starts

Repairs are diagnosed and explained before we touch anything. You’ll know what’s wrong and what we plan to do.

Old furnaces, new gas heat

Replacing tired furnaces and moving homes off oil or electric heat is most of what we do.

Sized for our winters

Modern heat pumps heat well in our climate. For the coldest nights, we size a backup heat source.

Duct work, done in-house

Supplied and installed by our own crew. It isn’t subcontracted.

How we work

Measured first, explained throughout, checked on next season.
