AC Repair in Massachusetts: what's different

Spring start-up checks catch failed capacitors, low refrigerant and blocked drains.
In Massachusetts specifically: retrofitting older homes. Plaster walls and limited space make ductless systems a common solution.
Massachusetts licenses gas fitters, sheet metal workers and refrigeration technicians through state boards, and permits are issued by local building departments. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for AC Repair.
