Working With Prodigy
Why should I choose Prodigy Climate Solutions?+

What services do you offer?+
Heating, air conditioning, indoor air quality, and water heater install, repair, and maintenance for homeowners across Massachusetts. Same-day service is available.
Do your services come with a warranty?+

Pricing, Rebates & Financing
Do you charge for estimates?+
Estimates on system replacement and installation are always free. For diagnostic visits on an existing system, we quote the service fee upfront before we schedule — and it's credited toward the repair when you move forward with us.
How much does a new heat pump or AC system cost in Massachusetts?+
Most whole-home heat pump projects in Metro Boston land between $12,000 and $25,000 before incentives, depending on capacity, ductwork, and electrical. Single-zone mini splits typically run $4,500 to $7,500. We give a written, itemized price after a load calculation — never a phone guess.
Can you help me get Mass Save® rebates?+
Yes. We walk you through eligible Mass Save® incentives — often up to $10,000 on qualifying heat pump installations — plus the 0% HEAT Loan, and we handle the paperwork that goes with the installation.
Do you offer financing?+
We offer flexible financing on qualifying systems, including 0% HEAT Loan options for eligible Massachusetts homeowners, so you can install now and pay over time.
Scheduling & Service
How fast can you come out?+
Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available, and we prioritize no-heat and no-cool calls. Text or call (857) 316-8944 and we'll tell you the real window before you commit.
Which Massachusetts towns do you serve?+
We serve Metro Boston and MetroWest, including Newton, Wellesley, Weston, Needham, Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Dover, Sudbury, and Wayland, plus surrounding communities. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.
Do you service all brands?+
Yes. We repair and maintain all major residential brands, and we install Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, LG, and Fujitsu systems chosen per project based on capacity, efficiency, and how the equipment will look in your home.
What happens during a maintenance visit?+
A full inspection of your system: refrigerant charge, electrical connections, airflow and static pressure, coil and drain cleaning, safety controls, and a written report of anything trending toward failure — so you replace parts on your schedule, not in a heat wave.
Equipment & Comfort
Do heat pumps really work in New England winters?+
Yes. Cold-climate heat pumps are rated to deliver full heating capacity well below 0°F and run all winter in homes across Massachusetts. Correct sizing and a proper load calculation are what make the difference.
Mini split or central air — which is right for my home?+
Ducted central air makes sense when you already have sound ductwork. Mini splits win in older homes without ducts, additions, finished attics, and anywhere you want room-by-room temperature control without tearing open ceilings.
How long should an HVAC system last?+
A well-maintained furnace lasts 15-20 years, central AC 12-17 years, and a heat pump 12-15 years. Annual maintenance and correct sizing are the two biggest factors — an oversized system short-cycles and wears out early.
Is my indoor air quality worth addressing?+
If anyone in the home has allergies or asthma, or you notice dust, dryness, or stale air, yes. Filtration, ventilation, and humidity control are usually far cheaper than people expect and make an immediate, noticeable difference.
