Air Conditioning Installation, Repair & Replacement

Whether your central AC has quit, cools one floor better than another, or is simply old, we repair it, replace it, or install a first system, and we work on any brand. Each job starts with a diagnosis and a side-by-side look at repair and replacement, so the choice rests on real figures. Yearly tune-ups are part of our air conditioning service too.

The Colburn School, built in 1877 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is one of Westwood's best-known older buildings. If your own house goes back that far, the first cooling question is usually whether it has the ductwork for central air at all, or whether ductless is the better route.

Air Duct Repair, Sealing & Replacement

Ducts are where we start when airflow is uneven: air duct inspection, sealing, repair, and full replacement, plus new runs for an addition or finished space. We check for gaps, crushed sections, and loose connections, and we say plainly whether sealing will do or whether a section needs replacing.

Westwood covers about 11 square miles. If your house has gained a family room, a dormer, or a second-floor suite over the years, the ductwork may never have been resized for it, and that is a common reason a room never keeps pace with the thermostat.

Boiler & Steam Boiler Repair, Replacement & Maintenance

We repair, replace, and maintain hot-water and steam boilers, including installing a new one when the old one cannot be saved. A no-heat call, a leak, banging pipes, or a boiler that has gone years without service all get the same approach: diagnose first, then lay out repair and replacement costs together.

Westwood became its own town in 1897, the last one to break away from Dedham. If your home goes back that far and still runs on a boiler, the least stressful time to have it looked at is a mild fall week, not the first freezing night.

Ductless Mini-Split Installation & Repair

We install, replace, repair, and maintain ductless systems, and we hold the Certified Ductless Pro designation. Each indoor unit serves its own room or zone through a small line to an outdoor unit, so cooling and heating reach spaces without a duct run behind the walls.

Homeowners comparing a mini split with central air usually land on ductless for an attic bedroom, a converted garage, or an addition that the main system never reached. It can also stand in for window units, with a thermostat for each room.

Furnace Repair, Installation & Tune-Ups

Our furnace work covers repair, replacement, new installs, and pre-season tune-ups on gas furnaces. When a furnace short-cycles, runs without heating, or refuses to start, we find the cause and compare repair with replacement before you commit to either.

The first hard frost has a way of finding the furnace that was due for attention. A tune-up booked in early fall gets a technician to the burner, igniter, and filter while the schedule is still open.

Heat Pump Installation, Dual-Fuel Systems & Replacement

We install and service heat pumps as a whole-home replacement, as a partial-home addition alongside your current heat, and as dual-fuel systems that hand off to a furnace when the weather turns. We size the equipment to the house and check the ductwork before recommending any of the three.

The calendar matters this year because Mass Save's rebate drops on January 1, 2027. The figures are in the Mass Save question below.

HVAC Maintenance Plans & Seasonal Tune-Ups

The maintenance plan we offer puts gas furnaces, central ACs, heat pumps, and mini splits on a set inspection routine. A NATE-certified technician reviews airflow, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and safety controls at each visit, and members get priority repair scheduling, discounted labor and parts, and a waived warranty processing fee.

Hale Reservation covers 1,137 acres of Westwood with woods and beaches, and leaf drop and pollen season both end up on outdoor equipment. A spring AC visit and a fall furnace visit keep those units clear before they have to work hard.

Indoor Air Quality Solutions & Humidity Control

Our indoor air quality work covers whole-house humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air cleaners, and ventilation, matched to what you notice at home: dry air, dust, allergens, odors, or a stuffy feel. As an Indoor Air Quality Expert, we recommend only what your system and your home can use.

Heated air in a Westwood winter tends to run dry, which shows up as static shocks, cracked lips, and a scratchy throat. A whole-house humidifier tied into the system is the usual fix when the dryness lasts all season.

Zone Control Systems for Multi-Level Homes

We install and repair zone control systems that split a ducted home into separately controlled areas, with motorized dampers and a thermostat for each zone. Zoning suits a house where bedrooms upstairs and living space below want different settings.

A first-floor family room with big windows and a second-floor bedroom wing rarely agree on one thermostat. Ask about zoning before anyone proposes adding a second system.

Why Westwood Homeowners Choose JBD HVAC

Westwood homes can bring us the whole job, from a quick AC fix to a heat pump installation and the maintenance that follows, with options and costs laid out before work begins. Our Franklin office is on Upper Union Street, a short drive from Westwood.

A Franklin homeowner who had two heat pump systems installed wrote that the crew also adjusted the ducts, registers, and return for a bedroom with a long-standing airflow problem, and that the install date was moved so the house would not lose AC on a 100-degree day. The same review says they never felt pressured.

Carrier recognizes JBD as a Factory Authorized Dealer, and the company has taken its President's Award in each of the last five years, 2022 through 2026. Our credentials also include Indoor Air Quality Expert and Puron Advance Trained.

Westwood Heating, Cooling & Ductless Questions, Answered

Westwood homes mix older construction with additions and newer equipment. These answers cover the decisions we hear about most.

Is a mini split or central air better for an older Westwood home?

It depends on the ductwork you already have. If the ducts are in good shape and reach most rooms, central air is often the simpler system. If the house has no ducts, or they are leaky or hard to reach, ductless avoids opening walls and cools room by room. We look at the layout and the existing system before recommending either.

How many mini splits would my Westwood house need?

It depends on the layout, the insulation, and how much of the house you want covered, not on square footage alone. A single indoor unit can handle an open living area or an addition, while a whole house may need several. We size the system to the home and explain what each indoor unit would cover.

Do I need a whole-house humidifier?

If the air stays dry all winter, with static shocks, cracked lips, a dry throat, or wood floors that gap, probably yes. A whole-house humidifier connects to your heating system and adds moisture as air is heated. A homeowner with a boiler and radiators needs a different setup because there is no duct system to carry the moisture, so we check how your heat is distributed first.

Should I seal my air ducts or replace them?

Sealing is the right call when the ducts are the right size and in decent shape but leak at the joints. Replacement is better when sections are crushed, disconnected, undersized, or have deteriorated insulation. An inspection tells you which it is, and a replacement quote should list what is being replaced, not just a total. We give you both options when it is close.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Once a year, ahead of the heating season, is the usual schedule. A service visit covers the burner, controls, safety devices, water levels or pressure, and signs of leaks or corrosion. Boilers are not named in the plan's coverage, so ask how we handle yours when you call.

What Mass Save heat pump rebates apply in Westwood, and when do they drop?

Equipment installed in Westwood this year earns the whole-home rebate of $2,650 per ton, up to $8,500, as long as the 2026 paperwork reaches Mass Save by February 28, 2027. Starting with January 1, 2027 installs, the whole-home figure falls to $2,350 per ton with a $7,500 cap. Homes keeping their current heat can use the partial-home rebate, $1,125 per ton up to $8,500 in 2026. The whole-home tier requires the heat pump to be the only heating and cooling source, a weatherization requirement to be met, and ENERGY STAR Cold Climate equipment from the qualified list. The 0% Mass Save HEAT Loan covers up to $25,000. We check eligibility before quoting, and we file the rebate paperwork and the loan application.
