Why Boston Homeowners Choose AirWise for Heat Pumps
- Right-sized system design for your home
- Neat, low-disruption installation
- Guidance on rebates and incentives

From the first walkthrough to the final thermostat setting, we focus on quiet, even comfort and long-term efficiency — not quick, one-size-fits-all installs.
Heat Pump Installation Designed for Boston’s Climate
With AirWise Heating & Cooling, your new heat pump is more than just new equipment — it’s a complete comfort plan built around Boston’s cold winters, humid summers, and your home’s insulation and ductwork.
We start by evaluating your home, existing system, and energy usage to recommend the right heat pump configuration — from ducted systems to ductless mini-splits and hybrid setups that work alongside an existing furnace.
Our installers follow manufacturer guidelines, local codes, and best practices for line sets, condensate management, electrical connections, and commissioning. The result is a system that heats reliably in freezing weather and cools efficiently when the temperature spikes.
We also take time to calibrate thermostats, set up zoning when available, and show you how to get the most out of your new equipment, including tips on energy-saving settings and filter maintenance.
The outcome: even temperatures, lower utility costs, and a quieter, more comfortable home — all from one high-efficiency heat pump system.
- Room-by-room load calculations for proper sizing
- Options for ducted, ductless, and hybrid systems
- Help navigating Mass Save and local incentives
- Clean, code-compliant installation and commissioning
Thinking about moving away from oil, propane, or an aging furnace? A properly installed heat pump can handle both heating and cooling with a single, efficient system — especially when it’s designed for New England conditions.
We work with homeowners and small properties across Greater Boston to install:
- Cold-climate air-source heat pumps for whole-home comfort
- Ductless mini-splits for additions, finished basements, and rooms without ducts
- Hybrid heat pump plus furnace setups for maximum flexibility
- Smart thermostat integration and zoning for precise control

Installation Day & Final Commissioning
Our crew installs the equipment, runs and insulates lines, sets up controls, and tests the system in both heating and cooling modes before walking you through how everything works.
Homeowner • Jamaica Plain
The crew replaced our old boiler and window units with a single ducted heat pump. They arrived on time, protected our floors, and had everything running the same day. The house feels more comfortable than it ever did before.
Condo Owner • South Boston
I was nervous about relying on a heat pump through winter, but they explained how the cold-climate model works and showed examples from other homes. It stayed warm even during the cold snap, and my electric bill stayed reasonable.
Duplex Owner • Dorchester
We upgraded both units in our duplex to heat pumps. The team kept us updated throughout the project, labeled everything clearly, and made sure each apartment had its own simple controls. Tenants noticed the difference right away.
Townhouse Owner • Cambridge
They spent time balancing the system, checking each room, and dialing in the thermostat settings. The upstairs used to be stuffy in summer; now the whole house feels even and quiet.
Single-Family Home • Brookline
They coordinated electrical work, took care of permits, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day. We now have one quiet system instead of a noisy furnace and several window units.
Property Manager • Multi-Unit Building
We added heat pumps in several rental units as equipment aged out. The team worked around tenant schedules, handled communication professionally, and documented each install for our records.

Can a heat pump really heat my home in Boston winters?
Yes — when you choose a cold-climate rated heat pump and it’s sized correctly, it can provide reliable heat in most Boston weather. Some homes pair a heat pump with an existing furnace or boiler for backup on the coldest days, but many systems handle the majority of the heating season on their own.
How long does a typical heat pump installation take?
For a straightforward single-system installation, most projects are completed in one to two days. Multi-zone mini-split systems, electrical upgrades, or complex duct changes can extend the timeline slightly. We’ll outline the expected schedule in your proposal before you decide.
What does a heat pump installation usually cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your home, number of indoor units, brand, and whether ductwork or electrical upgrades are needed. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear, line-item estimate and help you understand how incentives and energy savings can impact your overall cost over time.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a heat pump?
Many Boston-area homeowners qualify for incentives through programs such as Mass Save and manufacturer promotions. We stay up to date on current offers and can help you gather the documentation needed to apply after your installation.
Do I need to replace all my existing equipment at once?
Not always. Some homeowners start with a heat pump in the main living areas and keep existing systems as backup or for secondary spaces. We’ll review options that range from full replacement to phased upgrades so you can choose the approach that fits your comfort goals and budget.
