Heating
HEATING PRODUCTS IN MASSACHUSETTS
One of the most important appliances that any homeowner living in New England has within their home is a central heating system. Your current heating system works tirelessly for many hours on end every fall, winter, and spring trying to keep your home at a constant comfortable temperature. Usually a heating unit is checked and serviced only once a year and yet all that time it is expected to do its job flawlessly.
Add to this the challenge of providing ever increasing efficiency due to rising utility costs and the desire to go “green” and you end up placing very high expectations on your most valuable appliance. Berry Mechanical Services is proudly able to offer you a suite of heating products that promises to deliver the best available efficiency, reliability and heating comfort combined.
Add to this the challenge of providing ever increasing efficiency due to rising utility costs and the desire to go “green” and you end up placing very high expectations on your most valuable appliance. Berry Mechanical Services is proudly able to offer you a suite of heating products that promises to deliver the best available efficiency, reliability and heating comfort combined.
As you may know, central heating systems are broken down into two camps: forced hot air and forced hot water (hydronic) heat.
- Forced hot air systems use ductwork to deliver hot air that may be generated by either a fossil fuel fired furnace or an electric unit called a heat pump.
- Forced hot water systems use baseboards, radiators or radiant floor sections to deliver super hot water that is generated by a fossil fuel fired boiler.
There are also two combinations that are frequently used today to provide even greater flexibility and/or efficiency from your central heating system.
- Hydroair systems use a combination of the two with a boiler providing super hot water to a specialized hot water coil which in turn uses ductwork to deliver the heat.
- Hybrid systems use ductwork to deliver heat but the heat can be generated from both a fossil fuel fired furnace and a high efficiency electric heat pump.
Once you have identified how your current heating system delivers heat, you can then determine which of the product categories above makes the most sense for your needs. Take comfort in knowing that no matter what type of system you currently have, Berry Mechanical's
dedicated design consultants can help you determine what will be the best application for your home heating needs!

Boilers - Forced Hot Water
It goes without saying that forced hot water heating systems that use "boilers" are one of the most common forms of heating system in New England. That's why we at Berry Mechanical searched long & hard to find truly exceptional boiler options that would meet and exceed the needs of all customers. Below are two different boiler options we install regularly that you can learn about. Both are considered high efficiency models qualifying for utility rebates and other promotions. Both have all the premium features you'll be looking for in a modern boiler system.
Lochinvar Boilers
We are proud to offer the Knight Boiler series & Noble Combi boiler by Lochinvar, an American company that specializes in hydronic heating applications. The Knight Boiler is an Energy Star rated ultra-high efficiency condensing boiler that provides up to 95% efficiency lowering your existing heating bills by as much as 45%. This natural gas or propane fired boiler has a modulating burner assembly with up to a 10 to 1 turndown ratio. This means that the boiler can run as low as 10% capacity all the way back up to 100% capacity. An outdoor temperature sensor allows the boiler to “reset” itself for higher water temperatures when it's colder outside & lower water temperatures when it's warmer outside. No more wasteful overheating.
A primary and secondary Downfiring Stainless Steel heat exchanger extracts every possible bit of energy from the gas you burn. This weld-sealed assembly has no O-rings or gaskets that could fail years from now and Downfiring prevents the build-up of carbon deposits requiring expensive cleanings. The Knight Boiler has a partner Indirect Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank available called the Squire. It comes in a range of sizes, uses a stainless steel tank and heat exchanger, and demonstrates incredible recovery rates as hot water is consumed.

That said, it also provides for your domestic hot water needs internally via a tankless or on-demand assembly inside the cabinet. Unique fetures of the Noble Combi allow it to have piping hot water immediately avalable during high use times avoiding cold water "sandwiches" and extended wait time for hot water to arrive. The Knight and Noble Boilers are direct vent appliances using sealed combustion technology with dual vent pipes. This removes the need for a chimney and allows the boiler to be installed in confined space like a utility closet. The Knight Boiler is available in either Stand-Up or Wall-Mount arrangements while the Noble is wall mount only.

Heat Pumps
Some homeowners who do not have access to fossil fuels may need to use electrically driven heating systems as an alternative. Also folks who have renewables like solar energy benefit from using electric heating. The most cost efficient way to use electricity to heat your home is via an air to air heat pump. This electric powered heating unit extracts latent heat energy from the atmosphere converting it to ducted heat inside your home in winter.
This same unit also provides you air conditioning in the summer by “reversing” automatically. The outdoor unit or condenser works in concert with an indoor unit called a coil or air handler to either heat or cool the air inside your home for year round comfort. Studies have shown that this type of heating system is more efficient than fossil fuel down to outdoor temperatures as low as 27°F.
