The price was high, but ultimately covered by insurance, though their initial estimate was way under what the work ultimately cost.

Pricey but good work

I have used Alvin Hollis for years for both oil delivery and service. They have always been reliable and fair. Their office staff and servicemen have always been pleasant to deal with.

I recently had Hollis install a new HVAC system for me and I was very satisfied. I was given information and pricing on two different types of system along with information on rebates available through MassSave. Whenever I phoned or emailed with a question, my salesman, Gordon, got right back to me. The furnace and air conditioning unit were installed in one day by servicemen who knew what they were doing and left my basement as clean as it had been before they came.I highly recommend this company.

What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs

If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.

Choosing New HVAC Equipment and Getting It Installed Properly

How well a new HVAC system performs, and how much it costs, depends heavily on its design and the quality of installation. It’s important to make the right decisions—and there are many to make. You also must make sure to get a fair contract.

HVAC Equipment Features to Consider

If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.

Are Heat Pumps the Future of HVAC?

Improved technology, generous tax credits and rebates, and lower utility bills might have us reconsider how to heat and cool our homes.

Maintaining Your HVAC Equipment

The most important maintenance task for HVAC systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.

HVAC Maintenance Contracts Are Usually Bad Buys

Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
