"Absolute ripoff, along with shady business practices. They were prompt and courteous, but that's about it. The technician came and had to replace a $200 part on my boiler, it took him under an hour to do the work. A simple Google search showed at least 10 places to buy the exact part, all around $200. No other parts were needed for this repair, I researched what is involved. I was charged almost $1000, including their $89 diagnostic fee just to walk in the door. So apparently it's a $600+/hour labor rate? I'm obviously in the wrong line of work. This was not an off hours emergency call either, it was a scheduled appointment in the middle of a weekday. The shadiest part of the entire thing was that on the invoice (that they email you later) they bury all the cost, it's not itemized i.e. labor vs parts cost. It just says replaced (part) = $1000. A super scummy and shady way to run a "professional" business, taking advantage of people who don't know any better. I wouldn't be surprised if they also sell used cars. Never again Gervais. You've all been warned."

For emergency services, please call 781-933-6387. N.E.T.R., Inc. is here to help homeowners install the best heating and cooling systems that fits their needs. Since 1989, we’ve installed heating and cooling systems in Boston and its surrounding areas, tackling tough problems that our clients face. Our goal is to ensure our clients have energy efficient, quiet, reliable systems so they can live their lives to the fullest both at home and at work. Our dedication to our customers’ needs is what drives us each and every day. Our approach to temperature control and comfort has helped us become one of the most respected names in heating, cooling, and refrigeration in New England

"Before installing a mini-split, the sales person told me that I'd need to cut down an interior shelf to a specific height. I paid a handyman $400 to do exactly what the sales person instructed. Later on, N.E.T.R. came and did the installation; however, AFTER the installation, a technician told me that they hadn't accounted for the vent opening and closing and that the shelf would need to be further cut down. As you can imagine, this type of service is rather ridiculous. If they knew that the shelf would need further cutting, they should have NOT installed the unit. I have called N.E.T.R. six (6) times in three weeks, and no one has called me back about this issue. After paying for the unit and for a handyman, it's ridiculous that I have AC that is compromised because no one with the company thought to properly measure the space so that the work by the handyman could be done once. At this point, I'd like for N.E.T.R. to take care of this for me."

Furnace Repair questions, answered by experts

Leaks, pressure loss, air in the system, burner failures, and thermostat malfunctions are common problems that require professional repair.

If you have a fresh air intake as part of your HVAC system, the interior vents should be near your furnace or other gas appliances inside your home. From the outside of your property, your HVAC fresh air intake location is usually near the ground (although it may also be higher up, like on the roof or attic).

There are several different types of furnaces to consider for your heating needs. You can opt for a wall furnace or portable heater for small spaces and ductless heating or consider natural gas, electric, propane, or oil furnaces for a forced-air heating solution. Heat pumps and geothermal heating are also popular and eco-friendly heating options.

A telltale sign that the damper motor is bad is when you feel airflow even when the damper is closed, or conversely, you feel no airflow despite the damper being open.

There are many reasons a furnace can make a banging noise, which also means there are a few potential solutions. The banging noise could be caused by expanding and contracting metal due to temperature changes, dirty burners, or loose ducts. To help with the banging, clean the burners, secure any loose ductwork, or check for pressure issues in the air ducts. If the noise persists, you should hire an HVAC professional for an inspection.
