Professional AC Installation & Removal Service in Boston & Newton

Stay Cool in Summer & Warm in Winter with Handy Bross Experts

New England weather is unpredictable. One day it is freezing, and the next, the humidity in Boston hits 90%. When the heatwave strikes, the last thing you want to do is wrestle with a heavy, dirty air conditioner, trying to balance it on a window sill while risking your back—or your window.

Stop risking injury and property damage. Leave the heavy lifting to Handy Bross.

We are the premier AC installation and removal specialists serving Boston, Newton, Cambridge, and Brookline. Unlike general labor apps that send inexperienced help, Handy Bross provides a dedicated team that understands the complexities of Boston’s historic windows, ensuring your unit is installed securely, sealed tightly, and removed safely when the season ends.

Comprehensive AC Services: Installation, Removal & Winterization

We don't just "stick it in the window." We provide a full-cycle service to ensure your home remains comfortable and energy-efficient year-round.

1. Professional AC Installation (Spring & Summer)

Installing a window AC unit requires more than just muscle; it requires precision. A poorly installed unit allows bugs to enter, cool air to escape, and poses a significant safety risk.

• The Perfect Fit: We center the unit and secure the sash to prevent accidental opening.

• Safety First: For units on upper floors (common in Boston brownstones), we ensure the unit is pitched correctly for drainage and anchored securely to prevent falling hazards.

• Weather Sealing: We seal the gaps effectively to keep the cool air inside where it belongs.

2. Seasonal Removal & Winterization (Fall)

Leaving an AC unit in the window during a Massachusetts winter is a major energy mistake. It creates drafts and can damage the unit.

• Safe Removal: We carefully remove the heavy unit without scratching your sill or floor.

• Cleaning & Storing: We clean the immediate area and can transport the unit to your designated storage spot within the home (basement, closet, or attic).

3. The "Custom Plexiglass" Upgrade (Premium Look)

Standard accordion side panels are ugly, flimsy, and terrible at insulation.

• The Handy Bross Special: For a sleek, modern look and superior insulation, we can measure and install custom-cut Plexiglass panels instead of the plastic wings. This maximizes natural light and provides a near-invisible finish.

• Note: Plexiglass installation is a specialized service. Materials and custom cutting can be added to your booking for an additional fee.

Why Boston & Newton Residents Trust Handy Bross

Installing an AC in a modern building is one thing; installing it in a 100-year-old Victorian home in Newton is another.

Mastering the "Boston Window"

Our region is famous for its historic architecture, which means tricky windows.

• Old Sash Windows: We know how to handle sensitive, painted-shut, or rope-pulley windows without breaking the mechanism.

• Storm Windows: Many homes in Brookline and Cambridge have aluminum storm windows. We know exactly how to navigate the track systems to fit the AC properly.

• Vinyl Replacement Windows: We use techniques to protect the vinyl frame from cracking under the weight of the AC.

Safety Is Our Priority

An AC unit falling from a window is a nightmare scenario.

• Support Brackets: For heavy units (10,000 BTU+), relying on the window frame is risky. We highly recommend installing a metal support bracket.

• Note: If you do not have a support bracket, you can select one as a hardware add-on when booking your service with us for an extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding AC Services

Q: Do you supply the Air Conditioner?

A: No, we do not sell the AC units themselves. You purchase the unit of your choice, and we handle the professional installation.

Q: Do you install support brackets?

A: Yes, and we highly recommend them for safety and to protect your window frame. If you don't own one, you can purchase a high-quality bracket from us as an add-on when you book your appointment.

Q: Can you install ACs in windows with fire escapes or bars?

A: In most cases, yes. However, please mention this in your booking notes so we can assess the space requirements and ensure the installation does not block emergency exits in violation of code.

Q: Do you take the AC away when you remove it?

A: We do not offer disposal services for old units. Our removal service includes taking the unit out of the window and moving it to a storage location within your home (e.g., basement or garage).
