How important is a working furnace during frigid Boston winters? Pretty essential, right? The last thing you want on a freezing winter evening is for the furnace to stop working—or worse, to emit carbon monoxide or cause a fire hazard.
More than 65% of Massachusetts residents use natural gas or oil to heat their homes. Old gas or oil furnaces require the most amount of attention and care to make sure they keep running like they should.
You can prevent any major disruptions to your furnace system by scheduling regular preventative maintenance before the cold season hits. If your furnace does need repair, Boston Standard Company can inspect and diagnose, then fix or replace the broken parts.
Whether your Boston furnace is powered by natural gas or heat pump technology, we can fix it. Forced hot water, steam, forced hot air, radiant heating and radiators, as well as any other type of hydronic heat, are our specialties. Our goal is to make sure you stay warm and cozy (and safe) all through the winter months.
Remember, we’re The Company You Count On to keep your furnace working properly at all times.
We’re available 24/7 to help you! Call now: (617) 288-2911

Don’t Neglect Scheduling Your Annual Furnace Maintenance
Depending on what the issue is, a malfunctioning furnace could cause more than inconvenience—it could be dangerous. Especially if you have an older furnace, you’ll want to stay on top of your regular furnace maintenance, otherwise you might find yourself at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, or fire. A furnace’s life span is around fifteen years. How do you know when it’s time to replace your old furnace with a new one? Our experienced and licensed HVAC technicians can help you make this determination. Our top priorities are safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness for our Boston customers.
