The last tank of oil
Cambridge Oil and Gas Heating Replacement
Hand the heating job, and the cooling job, to a heat pump in place of that aging boiler or furnace. Together we choose whether the old unit leaves or stays as a rule-friendly backup.
When the Boiler Is Tired, It Is Time
An older boiler will need money soon whether you switch or not. Spending it on a heat pump buys a lot more: one system for winter and summer, no more oil deliveries and a rebate plus 0% financing that can ease the cost up front.
The big question is what to do with the old equipment. There are two good answers. You can take it out or shut it off for good, and let the heat pump carry the whole house. Or you can keep it as a backup, connected to integrated controls that only switch it on when the weather turns bitterly cold. Which way to go depends on how fast your house loses heat, how you feel about the change and the incentive you are aiming for. Mass Save is specific about this, so we follow its playbook closely.
Gas and propane homes are no different. Solid ductwork can often feed a central heat pump, while houses with radiators tend to do better with wall-mounted heads. You get it all in writing first: the new equipment, the fate of the old one, the expected incentive and the financing figure.
