What we work on
Everything that heats or cools the house.
Repairs on most makes, new installs sized to the house, and one person to call for all of it.
Heating
Furnaces
Gas furnace repair and replacement. Installed clean, tested before we leave, and explained so you know what you own.
Cooling
Central AC
New systems, repairs, and the spring tune-up that keeps it from quitting on the hottest day of July.
HeatingCooling
Maintenance plans
Two visits a year, one before heating season and one before cooling. Fewer surprises, longer-lived equipment.
Heat pumps
Thinking about a heat pump?
A good one heats an old New England house through January and cools it in July. A badly sized one does neither. Here is how we get it right, and how we help with the Mass Save rebate along the way.
Keeping the old furnace as a backup is often smart in an older house. We will tell you honestly whether yours is worth keeping.
Step 1 of 4
Home visit
We look at the house, the insulation, the ducts or the lack of them, and how you actually use each room.
Step 2 of 4
Sizing and a written quote
A room-by-room load calculation, not a guess from the square footage. Options in writing, with the rebate steps laid out.
Step 3 of 4
Rebate paperwork
Mass Save has forms and timing rules. We go through them with you so nothing gets missed or filed late.
Step 4 of 4
Install and a first-winter check
Installed, tested, and set up on your thermostat. After the first real cold snap we check it is keeping up.
Who shows up
You will probably meet Dan.
I started Brightline to be the company I would want in my own basement. Show up when we said. Explain it in plain English. Leave it cleaner than we found it.
Most of our work is in older houses, where the right answer is rarely the biggest box. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, you will hear that from me first.
Dan Kessler, owner
“Furnace quit the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Dan was in our basement that evening, and the house was warm before the kids went to bed.”
“He talked us out of the bigger heat pump another company quoted. First winter in, every room is even and the house is quieter.”
“Two mini-splits in a 1920s two-family with no ductwork. Neat install, lines run clean outside, and he walked us through the Mass Save forms.”
