AfterHVAC Company in Andover, MA
Meadowsweet Heating & Air is the HVAC company Andover homeowners call when a system fails in a house that was built before modern equipment standards existed, or when a 30-year-old furnace and AC unit finally give out in the same season. Andover’s mix of 1920s Shawsheen Village brick homes and 1970s-1990s colonials means almost every job here involves a system that’s either oversized, undersized, or original to the build. We work on all of it, with a live person answering the phone at (747) 966-3037 any hour, any day.
Why Andover Homes Are Different
Andover’s housing stock splits into two demanding HVAC eras, and each one changes how a repair or replacement should be handled. The early-1920s brick homes of Shawsheen Village, built by the American Woolen Company as a planned mill community, still run on one-pipe steam or gravity hot-water systems in thick masonry walls. Those systems need a technician who checks radiator pitch and return-line slope before anything else. A century of settling means a slightly off-pitch return line is the single most common reason a neighbor’s radiator bangs or goes cold while the boiler runs fine.
Then there are the sprawling 4-6 bedroom colonials built across Andover’s west and north sides during the 1975-2000 suburban boom. Those homes often have oversized ducted systems that are now 25-40 years old, with original oil furnaces and first-generation central AC units failing at the same time. Andover sits in the Merrimack Valley at the I-93/I-495 interchange elevation, where cold air drains off the surrounding hills and winter lows regularly push into single digits. Humid summers above 85°F put heavy demand on older AC units that were spec’d for smaller pre-renovation homes. Sizing matters here in a way it doesn’t in flatter, milder towns.
Our Main Andover Services
Andover homeowners call us most often about two problems: an AC unit that can’t hold temperature in August, and a furnace that quits during a January cold snap. The third call is usually a replacement plan for a system that’s simply reached the end of its life.
AC Repair in Andover
Andover’s humid summers expose weak points in older AC systems quickly, especially in colonials where the original unit was sized for a smaller pre-renovation house. We see failing capacitors, low refrigerant, and frozen coils in units that simply weren’t built for the extended 85°F-plus stretches Andover gets now. Our technicians come ready with the parts common to the brands in this area, and every repair starts with a written price before any work begins. AC Repair in Andover
Furnace Repair in Andover
When a furnace fails in Andover during a single-digit night, the priority is getting heat back on without cutting corners. Shawsheen Village steam systems need a different diagnostic approach than the forced-air furnaces in the colonial subdivisions, and our techs know which questions to ask based on the age of the house. We carry common parts for Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem furnaces, and a written price comes before any repair. Furnace Repair in Andover
AC Installation in Andover
Andover’s position as one of Essex County’s wealthiest towns makes it a natural fit for Mass Save heat pump conversion rebates, which can offset the cost of a multi-zone cold-climate heat pump install. For homes with older ducted systems, we handle full AC replacement with equipment rated for Andover’s winter lows and humid summer loads. Every installation gets a fixed written price, a set install date, and the rebate paperwork handled. AC Installation in Andover

Pricing for HVAC Company in Andover, MA
| Service | Typical range in Andover |
|---|---|
| AC repair (common issues: capacitors, refrigerant, coils) | $150-$650 |
| Furnace repair (ignitors, pressure switches, thermocouples) | $150-$700 |
| AC installation (full system replacement) | $3,500-$7,500 |
| Seasonal tune-up (AC or furnace) | $80-$200 |
What pushes a repair toward the top of that range in Andover is usually the age of the house. A 1920s Shawsheen Village steam system needs slower, more careful diagnostic work than a 2005 forced-air furnace, and parts for gravity hot-water systems are less common than standard furnace components. No matter the price, you’ll see a written estimate before any work starts. Never a surprise on the invoice.

Yes, most furnace and AC replacements in Andover require a town permit. We handle the permit paperwork as part of the installation process, so you don’t need to visit Town Hall yourself. Repairs generally don’t need a permit.

We work on those systems regularly in Andover, especially in Shawsheen Village where one-pipe steam is common. The diagnostic approach differs from forced-air furnaces, and our techs know to check radiator pitch and return-line slope first. A written price comes before any repair, whether it’s a boiler issue or a waterlogged radiator.

What Andover Customers Say
"New system install. They protected the hallway floor all the way to the attic and vacuumed after. Worked quietly around my work calls. Not a trace left behind."
- Rosalind Okeke"AC repair in July. The tech laid a mat down by the indoor unit and wore booties through the house. Fixed it fast and left zero mess. Quiet and kind, good with our nervous dog too."
- Delia Frost"Good repair and a very tidy, respectful tech. The appointment window was wide and he came near the end of it, but he texted ahead. Work itself was clean and done right."
