Preferred Air

For us service doesn't just mean providing outstanding heating and air conditioning solutions to North Shore homes and businesses. It also means giving back to our community and supporting the people who support us.

Preferred Air Inc. has been servicing homes on Boston's North Shore and surrounding areas since 1991. Through years of diligent effort and a focus on customer service, we have earned a community-wide reputation for honesty and professionalism. Our company prides itself on using the latest in heating, cooling and comfort technology. There is more to your furnace, boiler, radiant, geothermal, ductless, heat pump or central air conditioning system than meets the eye. We will help you get the most from your existing system in comfort, safety, and energy savings.

Preferred Air sells and installs all major types of heating and air conditioning systems, with a focus on quality and energy efficiency. Our highly trained team will make sure your new HVAC equipment is installed correctly. When helping you select and install your new HVAC system, we focus on making sure you get the best product to fit your needs in a timely manner. A great space saving alternative, this HVAC unit combines your furnace, air conditioner, and handler all into one unit, directly pulling air in and re-distributing the conditioned air to the house.

North Shore home? A ductless heat pump is far less expensive than the installation of a central heating and cooling system and has lower operating costs. A ductless system can be applied to one room or an entire home while saving you money on your energy bills. A ductless system is made up of two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and a quiet, indoor air-handling unit. These are connected by a conduit tube which passes through a small 3-inch hole through the wall or ceiling, making it much safer and quieter than a window air conditioning unit.

Considering you spend so much of your time at home - sleeping, eating, reading and watching TV - shouldn't the inside of your house be the one place where you can breathe best? Yet scientists tell us the air inside a home could be up to five times more polluted than outside. Preferred Air installs a wide range of air filtration and purification products to enhance the air quality in your home. Not all HVAC contractors are experienced with current technology and the latest implementation of indoor air quality systems.

With new energy efficient designs for basic heat pumps, homeowners can save as much as 50% on their electric bills. However, geothermal heat pumps raise the bar on that efficiency, especially in areas with extreme temperatures in the summer and winter. Although installation costs are higher compared to basic air-source heat pumps, the savings are so much more. By using the moderate temperature of the earth, they are able to provide better heating and cooling without using as much energy as most other systems.

At Preferred Air, we believe that maintaining the system that works for you is the best option. That being said, if your furnace is over ten years old, a replacement may be worth considering. Within the past ten years furnaces have improved in efficiency, and replacing an old furnace can save a homeowner up to 50% in heating bills. Although there are different types of furnaces, they generally work by first heating air and then utilizing ductwork to circulate it through your home. Efficiency of a furnace is measured by how much fuel the furnace converts into heat during a year.

Tired of high energy bills and looking for a more energy efficient option? Is keeping up with two separate systems for heating and cooling a hassle and taking up too much space in your home? Converting to a heat pump may be the solution you are looking for. Heat pumps differ from traditional heating systems in that they move heat rather than produce it. This allows a heat pump to function as an air conditioner in the summer, and a heating system in the winter. This efficient, compact, environmentally friendly system is now one of the most common types of heating and air conditioning systems available today.

For homes with hot water heating systems, Preferred Air installs and maintains highly efficient boilers. We repair and service all major makes and models - and provide 24-hour emergency service. Boiler heating systems have two parts: a boiler that heats and delivers the hot water, and a network of pipes that carries the water through the rooms. The pipes are typically installed in the subflooring, but can also be installed in baseboard heaters and radiators. The hot water evenly radiates heat throughout the room, providing comfortable, high quality heat.

Our technicians at Preferred Air work with all types of heating systems with the quality and affordability you should expect from your contractor. We recommend scheduling repairs as soon as possible to avoid more damage to the heating system or a sudden loss of heating. If your heating breaks, call us for our 24/7 emergency services. When repairs are no longer an option, or your system is over ten years old, it's time to start thinking about purchasing a new heating system. Advances in home heating technology means that a new furnace can be up to 40% more efficient than your current one.

Be ready for summer heat with a well maintained air conditioning system that fits your cooling needs, with the help of Preferred Air. As the temperature rises, you'll want to make sure your system can handle the burden placed on it throughout the season. Our technicians have the experience, knowledge, and technology needed to bring you peace of mind. These are signs that repairs are needed immediately to avoid a loss of air conditioning for your home or business. Contact Preferred Air and our experts will identify the problem and provide cost effective repair solutions.
