Testimonials

On 1/3/2026 Saurabh V. had this to say:
Mick from South Shore Heating & Air Conditioning Inc was incredibly quick to respond and come out to my home, especially considering I had no heat during extremely cold weather. My heating system wasn't holding the set temperature, and since it was a Friday, I called several companies--most told me they couldn't come until Monday or Tuesday. One of my neighbors recommended Mick and even called him on my behalf. Mick showed up first thing the very next morning. He stayed on top of the issue and followed up continuously until the problem was fully resolved. Even after the repair was completed, he called a couple of times to make sure the heating system was working properly and holding temperature. That level of responsiveness and care is rare. If you ever have heating or HVAC issues, call Mick--he genuinely makes sure the job is done right. Please support small businesses whenever you can.

South Shore Heating has been providing excellent service to our commercial rental complex for years whether it be for maintenance, installation or emergency repair.

FAQ

How often should I service my HVAC system?

We recommend servicing your HVAC system at least once a year — ideally in the spring for air conditioning and fall for heating. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.

Why is my HVAC system making strange noises?

Unusual noises like banging, rattling, or squealing can indicate a variety of issues, from loose parts to motor problems. It's best to have a professional inspect it as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

How can I improve my home's energy efficiency?

You can improve efficiency by:
• Changing air filters regularly (every 1–3 months)
• Sealing ducts and windows
• Installing a programmable thermostat
• Scheduling regular maintenance
• Upgrading to a high-efficiency HVAC unit if yours is over 10–15 years old

What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

The right size depends on several factors, including your home’s square footage, insulation, number of windows, and local climate. We perform a detailed load calculation to determine the most efficient and effective system for your needs.

How long does an HVAC system typically last?

With proper maintenance, most HVAC systems last:
• Furnaces: 15–20 years
• Air conditioners: 10–15 years
• Heat pumps: 10–15 years
Upgrading to a new unit can save you money on energy bills if your system is aging.
