Heating and Cooling in Hanson, MA

Hanson is quiet, wooded, and spread out, and the houses here heat the way many rural Plymouth County homes do: with oil or propane, often from a tank, through a furnace or boiler that someone has been faithfully servicing for years. If you are looking for home heating and cooling in Hanson, MA, you want a company that knows tank-fed systems and that can get to you quickly when the temperature drops.

We are a family owned company based in Norwell, about seven miles away. We have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and 50 years in business, and we are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (781) 353-8852.

Heating without a gas main

Natural gas does not serve every street in Hanson, which means many homes rely on oil or propane. These fuels work well and the equipment is dependable when it is maintained, but there are a few things that matter more than they do on a gas system.

Tank condition and location: Old oil tanks, especially in basements, can leak. We look at tanks during service visits and tell you if one looks tired.
Burner maintenance: Oil burners need annual cleaning and a new nozzle and filter. Skipping that is the leading cause of mid-winter lockouts.
Fuel deliveries: Running a tank dry causes air in the lines and a no-heat call that did not need to happen. A tank gauge and a delivery schedule are cheap protection.
Propane systems: Need regular safety checks, and we work on propane furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.

See furnace repair and heating and cooling maintenance for what we do on those visits.

Is it time to think about a heat pump?

For Hanson homeowners paying for oil or propane, the question of a heat pump comes up often. In a reasonably tight house, a cold climate heat pump can replace a large share of fuel use. A hybrid setup that keeps the furnace as backup is a practical way to begin. Whether it pays off depends on your fuel prices, electric rates, the house, and incentives that may be available.

We will not tell you a heat pump is right for every house. We will help you run realistic numbers. Read more about the comparison in our guide to heat pumps and furnaces in Massachusetts, and the Mass Save rebate guide for where to look for incentives.

Also available in Hanson

Houses near the ponds and in the woods

Maquan Pond and Monponsett Pond bring moisture to nearby homes, and many wooded lots mean branches down and power outages in storms. Outages are tough on heating because most systems need electricity to run the burner, circulator, or blower. If outages are common where you live, ask about backup options.

Homes near the ponds also feel humid in summer. A properly sized air conditioner removes moisture, and an oversized one does not. Our central air conditioning installation page explains why sizing is the key.

Hanson heating and cooling questions

Do you work on oil and propane systems?

Yes. Both are common in Hanson and across Plymouth County, and we service furnaces and boilers that burn either.

How can I avoid running out of oil?

Use a tank gauge, schedule regular deliveries, and keep an eye on usage in cold weather. If you do run out, call us. Air in the lines usually has to be cleared before the burner restarts.

Is my old oil tank safe?

Tanks age. We look at them on service visits and will tell you if yours shows signs of corrosion. Replacement is a separate decision, and we can explain your options.

Can a heat pump work if I have no natural gas?

Yes. In fact, homes burning oil or propane are often the best candidates for a heat pump, because the savings potential is larger.

Do you offer after-hours service in Hanson?

Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
