Are you thinking about switching from a furnace to a boiler? Boilers operate by heating water, and then transmitting that heat to the building through radiators or floorboards. This makes them more efficient than furnaces because water is a better conductor of heat. Boilers offer consistent heating, and they don't spread allergens and dust through the air like furnaces. Boilers also generally require less maintenance than furnaces and can last decades when properly maintained. If you're thinking about replacing your old boiler or investing in new boiler installation, we're here to help!

Boston recorded its hottest July on record in 2019. If you notice Boston summers getting even more hot and humid, you're probably very invested in staying cool! You shouldn't have to swelter through a heat wave when you could install ductless A/C. Ductless, or min-split systems, are a great option for older homes. With ductless A/C, you don't need to go through an extensive construction period to install an entire duct network. An indoor unit is simply mounted on the wall for your desired cooling zones.

Strange gurgling noises. Horrible smells. Dirty water overflowing. These could be signs of a clogged or damaged sewer line-an inconvenient problem that could turn into a plumbing fiasco. If you notice a sewer-like smell and discharge of grey or dirty water in your toilet, bathtub, sink or shower, seek help right away! You could have a stoppage in your main sewer line, which connects to your city's septic tank. A sewer line blockage can cause gross and hazardous conditions for your family or business.

Is a heat pump the right investment for your Massachusetts home? If you want great energy efficiency, low heating and cooling costs, and fairly straightforward repair and maintenance, you might understand why heat pumps are so popular. Heat pumps are a 2-in-1 heating and cooling system. They operate by moving heat rather than burning fuel, which translates to a much lower environmental impact and higher energy efficiency than fuel-based heating systems. During the summer, a heat pump acts as an air conditioner and dehumidifier so you don't need a separate air conditioning unit.

Strange noises and weird smells. Crazy high heating bills. Cold or dusty air. If your furnace is more than 15 years old, these could be signs that your heating system is on its last leg. Of course, you want to extend the life of your furnace in Boston for as long as possible, and regular preventative maintenance is the best way to keep your furnace working properly. But if your furnace has needed a lot of repairs lately, has a yellow pilot light rather than blue, and has outlived its warranty, it may be time to replace it.

We're a family owned and operated company. We're committed to providing the highest caliber of HVAC service to families and business owners in the Eastern Massachusetts Area. You can count on Boston Standard Company to keep the heat out. All work we perform in your home or business is above code and beyond safe. Risk-free, pro service is our promise to you.

It's 95 degrees outside and your air conditioning suddenly stops blowing cold air-or worse, starts making strange sounds, leaking or burning. This could be an A/C emergency! A malfunctioning A/C could cause a full system breakdown, or at worst a fire. Air conditioners cause approximately 20 deaths per year, according to the National Fire Protection Association. The likelihood of this happening is low if you service your appliance regularly. But do not ignore the warning signs. If your air conditioning smells like it's burning, emits a high shrieking sound, constantly cycles on and off or exhibits any other potentially hazardous signs, please call us immediately and do not attempt to fix it yourself.

How important is a working furnace during frigid Boston winters? Pretty essential, right? The last thing you want on a freezing winter evening is for the furnace to stop working-or worse, to emit carbon monoxide or cause a fire hazard. More than 65% of Massachusetts residents use natural gas or oil to heat their homes. Old gas or oil furnaces require the most amount of attention and care to make sure they keep running like they should. You can prevent any major disruptions to your furnace system by scheduling regular preventative maintenance before the cold season hits.

Heat pumps are great for both heating AND cooling, which makes it a popular choice for many Boston homeowners. But when it's the dead of winter, you don't want cool air blowing the way you would in summer. If this, or other issues, are happening, you may need heat pump repair. We recommend regular maintenance on your heat pump twice a year-before the cold season and before the hot season-to catch any possible issues before they cause discomfort. If your heat pump is making any strange sounds, turning off and on frequently, not turning on, not heating, or running constantly, call us to diagnose and fix the problem.

A heating emergency can occur at any time. Especially when our Boston winters start dipping into near-freezing temperatures, you want one thing from your heating system: reliability. Regular heating tune-ups and maintenance can help prevent drastic system failures, but if you ever find yourself in need of emergency heating repair, Boston Standard Company is ready to warm you back up with 24/7 emergency heating repair services. What is a heating emergency? Anything that's leaking, smelling, burning, or not working could be an emergency, especially if the weather outside is extreme.

Tune-up your system to ensure it operates at maximum efficiency and reduce the chance of breakdowns. If by chance your plumbing, heating or cooling system does break down, you will receive 10 percent off all repairs. For every year your maintenance plan is in effect, receive $50 CREDIT toward a replacement system.

A decent air conditioning unit could last ten years or longer-with regular maintenance. Just as you benefit from a regular check-up with your doctor, your home A/C unit will last longer and perform better with good professional care. Preventative A/C maintenance also helps minimize the chance of a fire or other serious hazards. We recommend an annual A/C tune up to ensure your equipment is in top working condition. This yearly investment could save you money and stress in the long-term by preventing costly repairs, preventing a system breakdown, increasing energy efficiency, and extending the life of your HVAC equipment.

An average home may lose 25% of its heat to ductwork. Ductless heat pumps (also called mini-split systems) can be the perfect solution for Massachusetts homeowners looking for something outside of conventional HVAC. A ductless heat pump works by moving air around rather than burning fuel, doubling as both air conditioner and heater! This is great for both the planet and your wallet. Maybe your home doesn't have ductwork already, you're adding on a new room, remodeling, or otherwise looking to upgrade to more efficient heating and cooling.

A faulty boiler can be incredibly dangerous. If you smell gas, experience headaches or nausea, or notice a yellow pilot light, call Boston Standard Company immediately.

All of our fully licensed and insured HVAC techs travel with fully stocked trucks, so they're more likely to repair your boiler with the needed materials on the spot than other companies!
