Heating and Cooling for Newton’s Garden City Homes
Newton’s tree-lined streets and village centers create a city that feels like a collection of neighborhoods. The housing spans generations: pre-war estates, mid-century ranches, post-war developments, and recent renovations. The HVAC systems are just as varied.
At GEM, we work across all thirteen villages: maintaining steam boilers in Newton Centre Tudors, installing central air in Auburndale colonials, replacing furnaces in Oak Hill ranches, and adding ductless systems to Chestnut Hill properties where the original construction never included ductwork. Your home’s age and layout guide our recommendations.
We also handle geothermal installations, packaged HVAC units, zoned systems, and oil-to-gas conversions. From emergency repairs to whole-home system design, GEM delivers the solutions Newton homes require.

Newton Heating and Cooling Services
Greater Boston winters regularly drop below zero, and summer humidity makes August miserable without air conditioning. Your HVAC system in Newton handles real extremes.
GEM provides comprehensive Newton heating and cooling services. Emergency repairs, preventive maintenance, equipment replacement, new installations. Our team handles it all.
Air Conditioning
Central AC distributes cool air through your existing ductwork to every room.
When summer humidity settles over Greater Boston, your AC system determines whether your Newton home stays comfortable or turns sticky and miserable. GEM installs and services central air designed for Massachusetts summers. AC failures typically happen during heat waves when systems run hardest. Regular maintenance catches most problems before they strand you. When something does break, we diagnose it accurately and fix it right.
- Air Conditioning Repair: Your system blows warm air, runs constantly without cooling, or cycles on and off. We find the cause and make repairs that last.
- Air Conditioning Maintenance: Spring service prepares your AC for summer demand. We catch worn parts and developing issues before the heat arrives.
- Air Conditioning Installation: Sizing matters more than most homeowners realize. We calculate your actual cooling load and install equipment matched to your Newton home.
- Air Conditioning Replacement: When your AC hits 15 years or repair costs keep mounting, new equipment usually makes more sense. Current units run quieter and cost less to operate.
Furnaces
Furnaces push heated air through ductwork for fast, even warmth.
Gas and oil furnaces heat Newton homes throughout the city, especially in ranch neighborhoods and newer construction. They respond quickly to thermostat calls and maintain consistent temperatures even when it’s single digits outside. GEM provides complete furnace services to keep your system running safely and efficiently all winter.
- Furnace Installation: We match the furnace to your home’s heating requirements. Proper sizing and setup mean reliable performance for years.
- Furnace Replacement: Older furnaces waste fuel. If yours is 20+ years old, high-efficiency replacement often pays for itself through lower heating bills.
- Furnace Repair: When your furnace stops working or heats unevenly, we respond fast. Accurate diagnosis, quality repairs, heat restored.
- Furnace Maintenance: Fall tune-ups prepare your furnace for winter. We verify safe operation and address developing problems before they leave you cold.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from one efficient system.
Heat pumps are increasingly popular in Newton, especially for homeowners updating older properties. Modern cold-climate units handle Massachusetts winters effectively. Mass Save rebates reduce installation costs significantly. GEM is a Mass Save approved installer with extensive heat pump experience.
- Heat Pump Installation: We design systems matched to your home’s layout and heating needs. Proper installation determines how well your heat pump performs.
- Heat Pump Replacement: Heat pump technology has advanced significantly. If your unit is 10+ years old and struggles in cold weather, current models perform far better.
- Heat Pump Repair: When your heat pump isn’t heating or cooling properly, we identify the issue and fix it. Refrigerant problems, defrost failures, electrical issues. We handle it.
- Heat Pump Maintenance: Heat pumps work year-round and benefit from service twice yearly. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high and prevents breakdowns.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless systems heat and cool individual zones without traditional ductwork.
Mini-splits solve Newton’s common challenge: adding modern comfort to older homes without tearing into plaster walls. They’re ideal for third-floor bedrooms that roast in summer, finished basements, home additions, and properties where ductwork installation would be impractical or expensive.
- Ductless Mini-Split Installation: We design ductless systems around your specific needs. Single-zone for one problem room, multi-zone for broader coverage.
- Ductless Mini-Split Replacement: Older mini-splits lose efficiency and struggle in cold weather. Current models run quieter and perform better when temperatures drop.
- Ductless Mini-Split Repair: If your mini-split shows error codes, stops heating or cooling, or operates erratically, we diagnose and fix the problem.
- Ductless Mini-Split Maintenance: Regular service keeps your ductless system efficient and extends its lifespan. We clean components and verify proper operation.
Boilers
Boilers deliver steady warmth through radiators, baseboard, and radiant systems.
Many Newton homes, especially pre-war properties in Newton Centre, West Newton, and the older village sections, rely on boiler heat. Steam and hot water systems are common here. GEM provides complete boiler services including installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement.
Radiant Heating
Radiant systems warm rooms from the floor up, eliminating cold spots and drafts.
In Newton, radiant floor heating is increasingly popular in renovations and additions. It provides quiet, even comfort without the air movement of forced systems. GEM designs, installs, and maintains hydronic radiant systems.
Oil to Gas Conversions
If you’re still heating with oil in Newton, conversion to natural gas offers real advantages.
No more tank monitoring, no fuel deliveries, more predictable costs. GEM handles conversions from evaluation through final inspection, including permits and equipment selection.

Questions?
Indoor Air Quality Services in Newton
Your HVAC system circulates air throughout your home. The quality of that air affects your family’s comfort and health.
Dust, allergens, dry winter air, summer humidity. GEM provides solutions that integrate with your existing system.
Air Purifiers
Whole-home purification removes contaminants your filter can’t catch.
GEM installs air purification systems that work with your HVAC equipment to capture particles, neutralize pathogens, and reduce odors.
Air Filtration
Better filtration means cleaner air in every room.
Media air cleaners and UV systems trap smaller particles and kill airborne bacteria and viruses before they circulate through your home.
Humidity Control
New England swings from bone-dry winter air to sticky summer humidity.
Both extremes cause problems. Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers maintain comfortable moisture levels automatically.
Thermostats
Your thermostat controls comfort and energy costs.
Programmable, Wi-Fi enabled, or full smart home integration. GEM installs thermostats matched to your system and your preferences.
Air Handlers
Air handlers circulate conditioned air throughout your home.
When your air handler underperforms, you notice it: weak airflow, uneven temperatures, higher bills. GEM provides installation, repair, and maintenance.
Additional HVAC Services for Newton Homes
Some comfort needs go beyond standard heating and cooling.
GEM provides specialized solutions for Newton homeowners.
Ductwork
Your ducts determine how effectively conditioned air reaches every room.
Leaks, poor design, and damaged sections waste energy and create hot and cold spots. GEM tests, seals, repairs, and replaces ductwork.
Zoned HVAC
Zoning lets you control temperatures independently in different areas.
Especially valuable in multi-level homes where the third floor is always different from the first, GEM designs and installs custom zoning systems in Newton.
Geothermal
Geothermal heat pumps use stable ground temperatures for exceptional efficiency.
Where property conditions allow, geothermal dramatically reduces heating and cooling costs. GEM handles installation and maintenance.
Packaged HVAC
Packaged units combine heating and cooling in one outdoor cabinet.
When indoor space is limited, packaged systems provide a practical solution. GEM installs and services packaged HVAC equipment.

Newton HVAC FAQs
Does GEM service all thirteen Newton villages?
Yes. Newton Centre, Newtonville, West Newton, Waban, Chestnut Hill, Auburndale, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Upper Falls, Newton Lower Falls, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Thompsonville. We cover all of Newton.
What’s the best heating system for a Newton home?
It depends on your home’s age and existing infrastructure. Pre-war homes often have boilers and radiators. Ranch neighborhoods typically have furnaces. Updated properties increasingly use heat pumps. We assess your situation and recommend what makes sense.
What rebates can Newton homeowners access?
Mass Save offers substantial rebates on qualifying heat pump installations and high-efficiency equipment. As an approved installer, GEM helps you access all available incentives.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
Twice yearly: cooling equipment in spring, heating in fall. Greater Boston’s temperature extremes work your system hard in both directions.
Can you work on older heating systems in Newton’s pre-war homes?
Absolutely. Our technicians have extensive experience with steam boilers, hot water boilers, radiator systems, and vintage equipment. We maintain these systems and advise on upgrades when they make sense.
