What it is

Heating on the Cape

Cape houses run on everything from 1970s oil boilers to last year’s condensing gas units, and a good share of them sit empty for months at a time. We work on all of it, on oil, gas and propane.

What is included

What the work covers

  • Annual service and combustion safety checks
  • No-heat diagnosis and emergency repair
  • Boiler and furnace replacement, sized by heat loss calculation
  • Zoning, circulators, aquastats and controls
  • Oil-to-gas and oil-to-heat-pump conversions

When to call

Signs you need this

  • Short cycling — the burner fires and cuts out every few minutes
  • Rooms that never come up to temperature while others overshoot
  • Rumbling, banging or kettling noises from the boiler
  • A yellow or lazy flame instead of a crisp blue one
  • Soot around the appliance, or a rising fuel bill with no change in habits

FAQ

Heating questions

Repair or replace?
Rough rule: if the repair costs more than a third of a new system and the unit is past two-thirds of its expected life, replacement usually wins. Both numbers come in writing.
How long does a boiler replacement take?
Most straight swaps are a single day. Anything involving re-piping, a fuel change or a chimney liner is typically two.
Do you service oil as well as gas?
Yes, both, along with propane. A lot of the Cape is still on oil, and oil equipment is routine work for us.
Can you service a house that is closed for the winter?
Yes. Seasonal shutdown and spring start-up are routine work for us, and we can set up low-temperature monitoring so a failure does not become a burst pipe.
