What a single phone chat settles
Measured, never eyeballed
We size from what each room bleeds on a bitter night, not from whatever stamp is on the boiler in your cellar.
Rebate fine print, early
Your house gets held against the whole-home conditions before a single model number comes up.
0% borrowing, decoded
Which pieces the bank wants, which come from us, and in what order they travel.
Gear that shrugs at cold
Units listed to keep pushing heat when the porch thermometer reads well under freezing.
Seven days, afternoons and evenings
Weekends count too, so talking it over never means leaving work early.
Where Do You Want to Begin?
Is it the whole house, or just the room nobody sits in? Some owners phone because the oil company raised its price again. Others have one roasting attic bedroom and a chilly sunporch. A few just want to know whether the money side pencils out. Start wherever you are; the rest of the picture fills in once we talk.
Heat Pump Installation
Air handlers tied to ducts, wall-hung ductless units or some of each, chosen after a heat-loss tally of every room, then put in, tested and demonstrated at your table.
Mass Save Rebate Help
Legwork on the Mass Save rebate, which reaches up to $8,500 for a qualifying whole-home 2026 job, starting with the energy assessment and ending with signed forms.
0% HEAT Loan Financing
Help using the 0% HEAT Loan, which lends up to $25,000 through lenders taking part in the program, with our proposal and form ready when they ask.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Slim indoor units for radiator houses, triple-decker floors, bonus rooms over the garage and any corner the boiler never managed to reach.
Oil & Gas Heating Replacement
Retiring a worn oil, propane or gas boiler or furnace, then deciding with you whether it leaves on a dolly or lingers as a cold-snap fallback.
So What Actually Happens, Start to Finish?
You describe the house
What burns in the basement, how old it is, which utility bills you for electricity and what drives you crazy. A bedroom that never warms up, a top floor you avoid every summer, a fuel bill you dread opening.
We test the programs against it
Rebate and loan conditions get checked one by one. Haven't had a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment yet? It costs you nothing, and since whole-home incentives hinge on it, that visit usually comes first.
A tape measure comes out
At your house we note room dimensions, glass, insulation depth and the present equipment, then calculate the heat each space surrenders on a design-cold night. That figure picks the equipment.
The proposal lands
One document shows equipment, price, an estimated rebate and, if you plan to borrow, the loan figure. If you are borrowing, that document travels with your loan application.
Installation day
Condensers, indoor units or air handlers, refrigerant lines and thermostats go in. Your old heat comes out, gets shut off for good or is tied to a controller that only wakes it in deep cold.
Startup and the last signatures
Every zone gets run and checked, you learn the remotes, and the rebate and loan files get finished, including the post-job inspection a HEAT Loan calls for.
Why Does a Measured System Feel So Different?
Ever heard a neighbor grumble that their heat pump disappointed? More often than not the culprit is one of two things: the unit was picked to mirror the old boiler, or the boiler was left running and quietly took over. Here is how we steer around both, plus a couple of other traps.
Built for a coastal winter
We fit cold-climate units listed to keep producing heat through the meanest nights off the harbor, so your house is not secretly propped up by oil.
The old boiler knows its place
Leaving? It gets pulled or shut off. Staying? A controller lets it fire only when outdoor temperatures plunge, the arrangement the program expects and your wallet prefers.
A paper trail of your install
When we finish, you keep a written sheet listing model numbers, where every line set travels, startup readings and control settings. Whoever services it years from now will thank you.
Figures first, then a date
Estimated rebate, borrowed amount and your own share sit next to each other before we pencil in a start. Surprise numbers on a final bill are not how we operate.
Salem and Its Neighbors on the North Side of the Harbor
Housing here swings from clapboard colonials a few blocks off Salem Common to two-families and capes heading toward Peabody, and a surprising share still runs on oil or on a gas boiler past its prime. Our trucks cover Essex County from Wenham and Beverly down to Swampscott and Lynn.
Plaster, sashes and cold attics
Old walls, single-pane windows and thin attic insulation all shift the heat-loss math. We check what is truly there before recommending a thing.
Stacked units, separate comfort
In a two-family or triple-decker, each floor gets its own equipment and its own controls, so upstairs and downstairs stop arguing about the thermostat.
Towns with their own power company
Peabody, Marblehead and Lynnfield buy electricity through municipal light plants that set their own heat pump rebates. We untangle which programs apply there when you phone.

See if we reach your street: (978) 547-7564Bigger Isn't Better. So What Size Is Right?
Undersize a heat pump and it labors through a February cold snap. Oversize it and it cycles on and off, burns electricity for nothing and leaves bedrooms muggy in August. A heat-loss tally for each room ends the guessing, and that starts with you telling us about the house.

What Salem Owners Want to Know First
Answer up top, reasoning underneath. Numbers specific to your house come after the call and the visit.
Two-family or triple-decker: does a heat pump still make sense?
Absolutely. We normally treat each apartment as a separate system with its own condenser, indoor units or air handler and thermostat, so each household controls its own floor. Before settling the layout, we check how the units are metered now and what heats each one.
There's no ductwork in our house. Is that a dealbreaker?
Not at all. Ductless mini-splits link indoor units to an outdoor condenser with a thin bundle of refrigerant lines, so ducts never enter the picture. Radiator and baseboard houses are among the most frequent ductless jobs we see.
Are rebates bigger if our household income is lower?
They can be. Mass Save offers enhanced incentives to households within its income guidelines, sometimes well beyond the standard heat pump rebate. Since the program alone sets those amounts and rules, we go over your situation on the call and steer you to the correct application.
How would I know whether my house can get the whole-home rebate?
Check four boxes. The house carries the insulation and air sealing a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment recommends, the equipment comes from the qualifying cold-climate list, and somebody lives there full time all winter. Last, the heat pumps do the heating, with the old system either gone or held in reserve for deep cold by an integrated controller.
We own rental units. Do landlords qualify?
Usually, for buildings of one to four units. Rebate eligibility gets judged apartment by apartment, winter occupancy included, while the HEAT Loan is taken out by you as owner through a lender in the program. Which units and utility accounts line up is something we work out together on the phone.
What equipment earns Mass Save money?
Cold-climate air-source models that appear on the program's list of eligible equipment. We pick from that list to suit your heat-loss figures, which keeps the rebate forms consistent with the hardware on your wall.
Who Answers When You Phone?
This outfit exists to give owners a level answer to a simple question: does a heat pump make sense in this particular house, and how much can rebates and 0% borrowing carry? Every so often the level answer is to insulate the attic now and install later. When that is the case, we say so.
