Gas Service in Harvard

Not all of Harvard has access to natural gas — the town's rural character means many properties rely on propane for gas appliances and heating. We work with both natural gas and propane systems throughout Harvard, and we're experienced with the considerations specific to propane installations including tank sizing, regulator settings, and line sizing for the different pressure characteristics of propane versus natural gas.

If you're converting from oil heat to gas — a common project in central Massachusetts — we handle the boiler replacement and all associated gas line work as a single project.

Safety First

Gas work is not a DIY project. Improper installations can result in leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, and fire hazards. Every gas installation we perform is permitted, inspected, and pressure-tested before the gas is turned on. We don't cut corners on gas work — ever.

If you smell gas in your home, leave immediately and call your gas provider. Once you're safe, call us.
