Services

Four core services, executed with precision.

We don't chase every job. We focus on the work our craftsmen do better than anyone in Massachusetts — and we say no to the rest.

Heat Pump Retrofits

Oil-to-heat-pump conversions across the Commonwealth. Mass Save rebates up to $10,000 filed for you. Cold-climate Mitsubishi & Fujitsu systems only.

  • Cold-climate heat pumps (Hyper Heat)
  • Mass Save rebate handling
  • Oil tank removal coordination

High-Efficiency Boilers

Condensing gas & hydronic boilers for New England's older housing stock. 95%+ AFUE rating standard — and we preserve your existing radiators.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Why Bluestone

Three generations. One standard.

My grandfather started Bluestone in 1962 installing oil boilers in Cambridge triple-deckers. My father converted half the South Shore from oil to gas in the 80s. Today we're converting those same homes from gas to heat pump — and Mass is paying half the bill.

Our installs are 30% slower than the average Boston HVAC company. On purpose. Manual J load calcs, hand-finished lineset covers, three-day commissioning. It's why our heat pumps still run in year 12 when everyone else's are dying in year 7.

★★★★★

Our 1894 brownstone on Marlborough Street had oil heat for 130 years. Four HVAC companies told us a heat pump retrofit was "impossible." Bluestone spent three hours measuring, came back with a concealed-lineset mini-split design that touches nothing historic, and filed our Mass Save rebate for $9,800. Brilliant work.

We've worked with Bluestone on three houses now. Peter's crew is unlike any other HVAC company I've encountered — they'll spend an extra half day making the lineset trim match the clapboards. Our electric bills are half what oil was. Worth every dollar above the cheap quote we almost took.

★★★★★

Bluestone installed our triple-decker mini-splits last fall. Every tenant has independent temperature control for the first time in 100 years. Peter personally commissioned each head, came back at 6 months to audit, and the whole job cost $2,200 less than the lowest competing quote because Mass Save rebates were pre-filed. Incredible.
