Eventually, every heating or cooling system runs out of steam. When that happens, we make replacement as simple as possible. We handle everything — air conditioners, furnaces, boilers, heat pumps — and we’ll help you pick the right setup for your home. We look at how your house is built, what you want to spend, and the comfort you’re aiming for. Then we size the equipment properly, install it cleanly, and walk you through how it works before we leave.
Not sure what you need? We’ll lay out the options, explain the trade-offs, and give you clear pricing so you can make the call with confidence. We’ll also handle permits, electrical, and haul away the old unit so nothing gets left behind.
Thinking About a Heat Pump?
A heat pump can heat and cool your home with one system. Many homeowners in Massachusetts are making the switch because they’re efficient and can handle our winters with the right model. As a Mass Save contractor, we’ll help you figure out rebate eligibility and guide you through 0% financing with the heat loan program. If you currently have a boiler or older hydronic setup, we can recommend either a hybrid system or a modern replacement that keeps you comfortable while trimming operating costs.
Systems We Replace Most Often
Air conditioner replacement
If your AC is noisy, leaking, or running on outdated refrigerant, it’s probably time for a new one. We’ll match the indoor coil, run new line sets if needed, charge the system properly, and test it through a full cycle. Want a smart thermostat or better humidity control? We can add that during install.
Converting AC to a heat pump
If you’ve got ducts already, we can often use part of your existing setup and just upgrade what’s needed. No ducts? A ductless heat pump is a solid option for older homes or additions. Either way, you’ll get cooling in summer and dependable heat in winter from one system.
Furnace replacement
A new furnace should run quietly, heat evenly, and burn fuel safely. We’ll set gas pressure, check venting, hook up condensate drains on high-efficiency models, and make sure airflow is right. For oil systems, we’ll install and adjust nozzles, filters, and draft to keep things steady.
Furnace + AC replacement
Replacing both at once gives you a matched system that’s more efficient and easier to maintain. We’ll update sheet metal, swap line sets, add the outdoor disconnect, and start everything up together so the equipment works as one.
Boiler replacement
Homes with radiators or baseboards depend on a good boiler. We replace steam and hot water boilers, set up pumps and zone valves, and vent them properly. We’ll purge air, balance zones, and can add an indirect water heater if you want stronger hot water performance.
What You Can Expect With Every Replacement
- Equipment sized to fit your home, not just swapped out blindly
- All permits and code-compliant installation handled for you
- Clean wiring, labeled panels, and an outdoor disconnect where required
- System startup with full safety checks and a walkthrough for you
- Old equipment hauled away and new warranties registered
FAQs
For most Milford-area homes, expect a full furnace + AC replacement or a complete heat-pump swap to fall roughly between $8,000 and $18,000. Single-equipment swaps (furnace only or AC only) are usually lower – think $3,000–$8,000 depending on capacity and efficiency. Higher-end, multi-zone heat-pump systems or large whole-home installs can reach $20,000+. We’ll give a line-by-line quote after a site visit so you know what’s included.
Replace when the unit is near the end of its life (typically 12–20 years depending on fuel and care), repairs are frequent, or a single major failure would leave you vulnerable in winter or summer. Also replace if you want a clear jump in efficiency (big monthly savings) or to switch fuels (for example, moving off oil toward a heat pump). As a quick rule: if the repair cost is more than ~30–40% of a new system and the unit is over 12 years, seriously consider replacement.
A proper replacement covers the new equipment, removal and disposal of the old unit, any needed duct or vent work, a new matched indoor coil or air handler (if required), electrical updates, permits and inspections, startup/commissioning, and warranty registration. We also run airflow and performance tests and show you how the new system works before we leave.
Most straightforward replacements take one day. If ductwork, venting, electrical upgrades, or zoning are needed, plan for one to three days. On install day we protect floors, remove the old equipment, set and connect the new system, run safety checks, and commission the equipment so it runs correctly. We walk you through the thermostat and basic care before packing up.
