Bellingham Heating Contractor

Gas and oil heating for Bellingham and MetroWest — furnaces, boilers, oil burners, and heat pumps, repaired, replaced, and tuned up.

Hannon Heating & Air Conditioning is a gas and oil heating contractor in Bellingham, MA, working here and in the MetroWest towns around us. We repair, replace, and tune up furnaces, boilers, oil burners, and heat pumps. Paul Hannon started the company in 2014 and still runs the calls himself, with an upfront quote before any work begins. Our service area includes Franklin, Medway, and Mendon.

Furnace Repair

A furnace that quits in January gets our first attention. We diagnose and repair gas and oil furnaces of every brand, and our vans carry the parts that fail most (igniters, flame sensors, limit switches, blower capacitors, oil nozzles), so most repairs finish in one visit. You get a straight diagnosis and a quote before we touch anything. Our furnace repair page covers the common failures and what to check yourself before you call.

Boiler Repair & Service

Forced-hot-water boilers with baseboard heat most of the older homes in this area, and we work on them constantly. Circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks, leaking relief valves, one cold zone while the rest of the house stays warm — we have chased all of it. We handle gas and oil boilers alike, plus steam in the oldest houses. See boiler repair for the failures we see most and what each one means.

Heat Pump Installation

Cold-climate heat pumps now hold their output through a Massachusetts winter, and we install them for whole-house heating and cooling. Sizing matters more than brand: an oversized unit short-cycles, an undersized one runs flat out in January. We do a load calculation first, then quote the full job upfront. Estimates on system replacements are free. Details are on our heat pump installation page.

Furnace Installation & Replacement

When a furnace passes 15 to 20 years and the repairs start stacking up, replacement usually wins the math. We replace gas and oil furnaces, size the new unit to the house instead of copying the old label, and pull the permits ourselves. Estimates on full system replacements are free, and we put the number in writing before work starts. Our furnace installation page walks through the process and timeline.

Boiler Installation & Replacement

A cast iron boiler can outlast two furnaces, but once the sections crack or start weeping, replacement is the only real fix. We install gas and oil boilers, including high-efficiency condensing models where the house suits them, and we set up the zones properly instead of leaving one loop to fight the whole system. Replacement estimates are free. See boiler installation for what a swap involves.

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps fail differently than furnaces. Iced-up outdoor coils, defrost boards, reversing valves stuck between heating and cooling, refrigerant leaks that show up as weak heat — the diagnosis takes someone who works on them every week. We repair ducted and ductless systems from every major brand, and we are EPA certified for the refrigerant work. Our heat pump repair page lists the symptoms worth a call.

Oil heat is a specialty here

Oil burners, oil tanks, and oil-to-gas conversions — the work fewer local companies still do, and the work Paul has done for more than 30 years.

Oil Burner Service & Cleaning

Paul has cleaned and tuned oil burners for more than 30 years. An annual cleaning (new nozzle, oil filter, pump strainer, then a combustion test to dial in the flame) keeps an oil system efficient and is the best insurance against a no-heat call in February. We service oil burners on furnaces and boilers alike. Book an oil burner cleaning before the heating season starts.

Oil Tank Replacement & Removal

Old steel oil tanks rust from the inside out, and the first visible sign is often a weep at the bottom seam. We are Roth certified: we install Roth double-wall tanks, a polyethylene inner tank inside a steel outer shell that contains a leak instead of letting it reach your basement floor. We also remove old tanks and handle disposal. More on our oil tank replacement page.

Oil-to-Gas Conversion

Plenty of homes around here still burn oil while a gas main runs down the street. Converting means new equipment, the gas hookup coordinated with the utility, the old tank removed, and permits filed — we manage the whole sequence. Because we service both fuels every week, we will also tell you plainly when keeping oil makes more sense for your house. Start with our oil-to-gas conversion page.

Heating Tune-Ups & Maintenance

An annual tune-up costs less than the repair it prevents. We clean burners, test the safety controls, check heat exchangers for cracks, and measure combustion efficiency, on gas and oil equipment both. Fall is the right time, before the first cold night finds the problem for you. Schedule a heating tune-up in September or October and skip the January scramble.

Ductless Mini Splits Heat, Too

Ductless mini splits are heat pumps, and the cold-climate models keep producing heat well below freezing. They solve the room the boiler zone never reached: the finished attic, the bonus room over the garage, the three-season porch. We cover them on our ductless mini split page under air conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many years should a furnace or boiler last?
Figure 15 to 20 years for a furnace. Boilers generally run longer, and old cast iron boilers sit at the far end of that range. Maintenance is the biggest lever either way: a system cleaned and tuned every year outlasts one that gets ignored.
What kinds of heating systems do homes around here have?
Forced-hot-water boilers with baseboard dominate the older housing stock. Newer subdivisions mostly run gas or oil furnaces with ductwork, the oldest homes still have steam, and heat pumps show up more every year. We service all of them, oil included.
What does Massachusetts require for carbon monoxide protection?
Massachusetts requires working CO alarms on every level of the home under Nicole's Law. Combustion heating is the main winter CO source, so it matters most October through April. Detectors expire (check the date on the back), and an annual burner service is the prevention layer that keeps CO from forming in the first place.
Do you handle no-heat emergencies, and what counts as one?
Yes. No heat in freezing temperatures is an emergency. So is a gas odor or a CO alarm sounding — for those two, leave the house and call from outside. Emergency service is available: we pick up when we can, and when we miss a call, we call right back.
What licensing should a Massachusetts heating company have?
Oil work requires a Massachusetts oil burner technician license, and gas work requires a licensed gas fitter. Beyond the licenses, look for insurance and a contractor who pulls permits instead of skipping them. Hannon is licensed and insured, EPA certified, and we pull the permit on every installation.
