Ductless air conditioning is becoming very popular because of its high efficiency, quiet operation and low cost. In fact many ductless systems will qualify for the Federal Tax Credit. That means the government will be paying you to install a new high efficiency ductless system in your home.
So, why Choose a Ductless System?
Fast Installation: A qualified air conditioning contractor can install a new ductless system in a day.
Safety: Because ductless systems don't require window space or large openings in your walls, it does not pose any security risk as window or wall units do.
Energy Efficient: Ductless air conditioners do not have any duct work and thus there is no energy loss through poorly sealed ductwork.
Quiet Operation: Because the compressor is placed outside on a special pad, the noise of the compressor is not inside your home, as it is with either a window or a wall air conditioning unit.
Indoor Air Quality: Most models of ductless air conditioners are equipped with a air purifying filters to help condition the air in your home.
Rebates: Many ductless systems qualify for hundreds of dollars in rebate incentives that will help defray the investment of your ductless system.

Oil heat providers supply comfort, efficiency, warmth and security to more than 7 million homes in over 2 dozen states. In fact, in Massachusetts 39% of all homes are heated by oil.
The oil heat industry has worked diligently to provide our customers with the best service and the best heating product.
Oil heat is very safe, clean, efficient and dependable.
Here are a few facts that may surprise you:
- NEW TECHNOLOGY BRINGS INTELLIGENT WARMTH
- There have been numerous advances in technology surrounding oil heat. Most new high efficiency oil heating systems have "smart controls" and "self diagnostic controls" that will alert you, or your oil heat provider, to potential issues before your equipment breaks down.
- New Energy Efficient Technology has also created oil heat systems that burn fuel 95% cleaner than in 1970.
- MORE DEPENDABLE SUPPLY

- Oil heat, in contrast, is stored on your property inside your oil tank. And with Needham Oil & Air you will always have a dependable supply whenever you need it.

- BioFuel is a 21st century version of heating oil with the highest BTU content of any alternative fuel. It is environmentally-friendly and clean-burning blend of traditional heating oil and American grown, plant-based products like soybeans. Increased use of BioFuel in the years ahead will reduce our dependence on oil imports.
- OIL HEAT IS REMARKABLY SAFE
