Your local Reading HVAC team

Licensed, upfront heating & cooling for every Reading home

CleanTap Water Solutions is a licensed and insured Massachusetts heating and cooling company serving homeowners throughout Reading. With more than 60 years of combined field experience and a master tradesman on staff, our team installs, repairs, and maintains the systems that keep your home comfortable year round. When the furnace quits on a January night or the AC fails during a July heat wave, we answer with genuine 24/7 no-heat and no-cool emergency service dispatched from our nearby bases. We treat your home like our own, explain your options in plain language, and stand behind every job so Reading families can count on warm winters and cool summers without the guesswork or the runaround.

Reading’s housing runs heavily to early- and mid-20th-century colonials, older single-family homes, and two-families near the downtown blocks and Memorial Park, mixed with newer subdivisions on the town’s edges. That range shapes the heating and cooling work we do. Older houses often have aging furnaces or boilers, tired ductwork, and rooms that never quite hold temperature, so furnace, boiler, and duct retrofits pay off quickly. Homes built without ductwork are ideal candidates for ductless mini-splits, which deliver efficient heating and cooling room by room. In every case, correct load calculation and equipment sizing matter more than raw capacity, and we take the time to size each system to the home rather than guess.

We install and service the full range of modern comfort equipment for Reading homeowners: high-efficiency gas furnaces, hot-water and steam boilers, central air conditioning, ductless mini-split systems, and cold-climate heat pumps built to perform through hard New England winters. Whether you are replacing a failing system, upgrading for lower energy bills, or adding cooling to a home that never had it, we match the equipment to your house and your budget. Many of these upgrades qualify for Mass Save rebates and incentives, and we offer flexible financing to make a new system affordable. Call (781) 630-5449 and we will walk you through what fits your Reading home best.

Every job is done by our own licensed, experienced technicians, with 60+ years of combined experience, never a subcontractor. You get an upfront, fixed price before we start, clean workmanship, and proper permits so everything passes inspection. We install high-efficiency furnaces, central AC, boilers, and cold-climate heat pumps, and help you take advantage of Mass Save rebates and financing.

And when the heat quits on the coldest night or the AC dies in a heat wave, our 24/7 emergency line reaches a real local HVAC pro, not a national call center. One trusted number for heating & cooling, plumbing, and water across your whole home.

Local knowledge

Heating and Cooling Built for Reading’s Cold Winters

Winters in Reading are long and genuinely cold, and a heating system that struggles through a New England cold snap costs you comfort and money. Homes across town heat with a mix of natural gas, oil, and electric systems, and each has its own path to better efficiency. Older colonials and two-families in particular benefit from swapping a dated furnace or boiler for a high-efficiency model, or from adding a cold-climate heat pump that heats effectively even when temperatures drop well below freezing. Massachusetts homeowners can also tap Mass Save rebates and incentives that meaningfully lower the cost of qualifying upgrades, and we help you understand which programs apply before you commit to anything.

Because Reading’s homes range from pre-1940 colonials near Reading Common to newer subdivisions off Route 128, comfort solutions here are rarely one-size-fits-all. HVAC and gas work in town requires proper permitting and inspection through the Town of Reading’s building and inspectional services division, which enforces the Massachusetts codes. As a licensed Massachusetts company, CleanTap pulls the required permits, coordinates the town inspections, and documents the work so your new furnace, heat pump, or mini-split is fully code-compliant. That paperwork protects you at resale and gives you confidence the job was done right, whatever the age or style of your Reading home.

“I called on a Sunday, my boiler was overfilling itself. Sean was patient and informative on the phone, then Luiz came out on a Sunday, fixed my leak, and got my heat up and running within the hour. Both were patient, helpful, and transparent about everything. I highly recommend their service!”

Questions

Reading heating & cooling, answered

Do I need a permit for HVAC or gas work in Reading?

In most cases, yes. Installing or replacing a furnace, boiler, heat pump, mini-split, or any gas-fired equipment in Reading requires a permit and inspection through the Town of Reading’s building and inspectional services division, which enforces the Massachusetts codes. Simple maintenance usually does not, but equipment changeouts and gas connections do. As a licensed Massachusetts company, CleanTap pulls the proper permits and schedules the required inspections for you, so your project is fully documented and code-compliant. Call (781) 630-5449 and we will handle the details.

How fast can you reach my Reading home if the heat goes out?

Fast. We offer genuine 24/7 no-heat and no-cool emergency service, and because we dispatch from our Braintree and Mansfield bases, Reading homeowners get real local response times rather than a distant call center. When you phone (781) 630-5449 during a cold snap or a heat wave, you reach a licensed team ready to diagnose the problem and get your system running again. We keep common parts on hand to resolve many failures in a single visit, and if a full replacement is the smarter call, we will lay out your options clearly before any work begins.

Can I get Mass Save rebates on a heat pump in Reading?

Often, yes. Many cold-climate heat pumps and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems qualify for Mass Save rebates and incentives available to Massachusetts homeowners, which can meaningfully lower your upfront cost. Cold-climate heat pumps are a strong fit for Reading’s older colonials, delivering efficient heating deep into a New England winter plus summer air conditioning from one system. We help you understand which programs apply to your home and equipment, and we offer flexible financing to spread out the remaining cost. Call (781) 630-5449 and we will walk you through the rebate and financing options that fit your project.

Which heating and cooling systems do you install?

We install and service high-efficiency gas furnaces, hot-water and steam boilers, central air conditioning, ductless mini-split systems, and cold-climate heat pumps for Reading homes. Whether you are replacing worn-out equipment, upgrading for lower energy bills, or adding cooling to a home that never had ductwork, we match the system to your house and size it correctly with a proper load calculation rather than guesswork. We also pull the required permits and coordinate inspections so the finished job is code-compliant. Call (781) 630-5449 to talk through the best fit for your Reading home.

Are your HVAC technicians licensed and insured in Massachusetts?

Yes. CleanTap is fully licensed and insured, with experienced heating & cooling technicians and 60+ years of combined experience. The same local pros who quote your job do the work, no subcontractors, and we install to Massachusetts code and pull the proper permits.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC service?

Yes. No heat on the coldest night and no AC in a heat wave can’t wait, so we offer 24/7 emergency heating and cooling service across Greater Boston, the South Shore, and Eastern MA. Call (781) 630-5449 and a real local HVAC pro will get to you fast.

How much does a new furnace, AC, or heat pump cost in Massachusetts?

As a general guide, typical installed ranges in MA are about $4,500–$8,000 for a gas furnace, $5,000–$9,000 for central AC, $6,000–$12,000 for a boiler, and roughly $8,000–$18,000 for an air-source heat pump or ductless mini-split system before rebates. Mass Save rebates and 0% HEAT Loan financing can cut heat-pump costs substantially. Your home’s size, ductwork, and fuel type affect the final number, so we give you an upfront, fixed quote first.

Do heat pumps really work in Massachusetts winters?

Yes. Today’s cold-climate (ccASHP) heat pumps are designed to heat efficiently well below freezing, and many MA homes run them as a primary heat source with a backup for the coldest snaps. They also provide air conditioning in summer, so it’s one system for both. We’ll assess your home and size the system correctly, and walk you through Mass Save rebates and financing.

What Mass Save rebates and financing are available for heat pumps?

Massachusetts homeowners can often qualify for significant Mass Save rebates on qualifying heat pumps, plus the 0% HEAT Loan for eligible efficiency upgrades. Program amounts and eligibility change over time, so we help you understand what your project may qualify for and handle the install to the standards these programs require. Ask us for the current details with your quote.

How often should I have my heating and cooling system serviced?

Once a year per system is the rule of thumb, heating in the fall, cooling in the spring. Annual tune-ups keep efficiency up, catch small problems before they become no-heat or no-cool emergencies, protect your manufacturer warranty, and extend the life of the equipment. Ask about our maintenance options.

Do I need a permit for HVAC work in Massachusetts?

Most heating and cooling installations and replacements require a permit and licensed installation in Massachusetts, and gas or oil work has its own requirements. We pull the proper permits and install to code so your system passes inspection and protects your home’s value and warranty.

How fast can you get here for a no-heat or no-cooling emergency?

As fast as possible, we run 24/7 emergency service across Greater Boston and the South Shore, and a real local HVAC pro (not a call center) answers and dispatches. If you smell gas or a burning odor, shut the system off and call (781) 630-5449 right away.

Should I repair or replace my furnace or AC?

It depends on age, efficiency, repair cost, and how often it’s breaking down. As a guide, systems over about 15 years old, with rising energy bills or a major repair looming, are often better replaced, especially with today’s high-efficiency and heat-pump options plus Mass Save rebates. We give you an honest side-by-side so you can decide with real numbers.

Can you replace my old system with a high-efficiency or heat-pump system?

Yes. We install high-efficiency furnaces, central AC, boilers, and cold-climate air-source heat pumps and ductless mini-splits. If you’re considering electrifying your heat or adding AC, we’ll size the right system for your home, explain the comfort and energy tradeoffs, and help you take advantage of available rebates and financing.

Do you offer financing on larger HVAC jobs?

Yes. For system replacements and upgrades we offer flexible financing, and many efficiency upgrades qualify for the Mass Save 0% HEAT Loan. We’ll go over the options with your quote so a new system fits your budget.

Do you handle both residential and commercial HVAC?

Yes. We serve homeowners and businesses across Eastern Massachusetts, from a single furnace or AC repair to full system replacements and rooftop units, with the same licensed team and upfront pricing.

What areas do you serve?

Greater Boston, the South Shore, Metro-South, and Eastern Massachusetts, including Boston, Quincy, Braintree, Weymouth, Dedham, Norwood, Mansfield, Foxboro, Franklin, and Plymouth. Not sure if you’re in range? Call (781) 630-5449 and we’ll let you know.
