New England Heating & Air Conditioning | Qualified HVAC Services in Shrewsbury, MA

Frozen pipes are common here due to our cold snaps and can be caused by poor insulation, drafts, or a furnace struggling to keep up. We'll first safely thaw the pipes, then inspect your system's airflow and insulation. Our fix often involves sealing air leaks in your attic or basement and adding proper insulation to vulnerable lines to prevent a costly repeat.

Tell-tale signs include warm air from vents, ice on the refrigerant lines or outdoor unit, a hissing sound, and a noticeable spike in your energy bills. While not always an immediate safety hazard, it severely reduces cooling and strains the compressor. We recommend prompt service to restore efficiency, prevent further damage, and ensure your system is ready for our hot Shrewsbury summers.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a professional tune-up twice a year—in fall for your heating system and spring for your AC. During these visits, we check refrigerant levels, clean components, test for leaks, inspect insulation, and ensure everything is operating safely and efficiently. This neighborly approach helps catch small problems before they turn into big, inconvenient repairs.
