Electric heat pumps are a smart alternative to oil, propane, electric resistance or gas for heating and water heating in any project in your residential or commercial buildings.

Ensure gas service is available in your neighborhood and if the gas line meets the distance requirements from your home. Use our Natural Gas Availability Form to confirm the availability of gas in your area and line proximity to your home. Customers in Acton, Arlington, Brookline, Concord, Lexington, Lincoln, and Newton, please check with your town’s building department before requesting a gas connection. If qualified, we will provide a quote for a service line from your selected meter location to the gas main.
