Handy Bross : Expert Window AC Services: Installation, Removal & Winterization in Boston

Comprehensive Solutions for All Air Conditioner Brands and Models

You need air conditioning service, but your unit isn't a Frigidaire, LG, or Midea. Perhaps you have a GE, Haier, Amana, or a custom portable unit. Or maybe, your AC is already installed, and you simply need professional help taking it out for the winter or moving it to a new room.

If it cools your room and fits in a window, we handle it.

Handy Bross is the versatile AC installation and removal team serving the entire Greater Boston area. From Woburn to Framingham, we specialize in servicing all brands and addressing all seasonal needs. We provide safe, efficient installation for new units, and careful removal/storage for existing ones, ensuring your home is ready for whatever New England weather brings.

We Service Every Brand and Every Seasonal Need

Our expertise is not limited by brand names; it is defined by technical skill.

1. Installation of All Brands (GE, Haier, Amana, etc.)

• Universal Expertise: Whether it's a compact unit for a bedroom in Allston or a heavy-duty model for a living room in Newton, we apply the correct mounting principles (tilt, leveling, support) required for any window unit.

• Complex Windows: We adapt installation for unique window types (casement, awning, old double-hung) found throughout Cambridge and Somerville.

2. Professional AC Removal (Winterization)

Leaving a unit in during the winter is inefficient and risks damage to the unit.

• Safe Extraction: We carefully remove the unit, ensuring no damage to the window frame or the surrounding historic plaster in Beacon Hill or North End.

• Window Sealing: Once the unit is out, we install insulation and seal the window to prepare your home for the cold, preventing drafts in Hyde Park or Roslindale.

• Storage Prep: We clean the unit's exterior and move it to your designated storage area (basement, closet, etc.) in your Waltham or Framingham home.

3. Portable AC & Exhaust Venting

Portable units are common in buildings where window units are restricted (e.g., high-rises in Back Bay).

• Venting Kits: We securely install the window exhaust kits for portable AC units, ensuring the hose is sealed to the outside and does not pop out or leak hot air back into the room.

4. Support Bracket Installation & Custom Solutions

• Safety First: For any heavy or high-floor installation, we recommend and install universal metal support brackets (available as an add-on) to safely transfer the weight to the exterior wall.

• Plexiglass Upgrade: We offer our custom-cut Plexiglass solution for any unit or brand, enhancing both the look and insulation of your window in South Boston or East Boston.

The Local Advantage: Comprehensive Seasonal Coverage

We offer peace of mind year-round across all our service areas.

• Heavy Lifting: Our team provides the muscle to handle large, bulky units in Roxbury and Mattapan walk-ups safely.

• Draft Prevention: Our sealing techniques are designed specifically to handle the high-velocity drafts common in historic Boston homes, ensuring maximum energy savings once the AC is removed.

• Damage Prevention: We protect the delicate sashes and sills of older windows during both installation and removal, a level of care often neglected by general movers or task-based services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can you install brands like Haier, Amana, or General Electric?

A: Yes! We have universal expertise. Although some brands have unique rails, we have the experience to install all window AC brands and models found on the market in Boston safely.

Q: Do you offer winterization service?

A: Yes. Our removal service is also a winterization service. Once the unit is removed, we seal the open window area with insulation and tape to prevent drafts and reduce heating costs.

Q: Which specific areas do you serve?

A: We cover the entire Greater Boston area. Our service map includes Boston, Newton, Woburn, Waltham, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and Allston.

Q: Can you help me move an AC unit to a different window?

A: Yes. We can safely remove the unit from its current window, transport it within your home, and professionally install it in the new window.

Q: Do you charge more for removal than installation?

A: The pricing is generally comparable as both services require heavy lifting, safety protocols, and sealing (either sealing the unit to the window or sealing the window once the unit is removed).
