N.E.T.R., Inc. is here to help homeowners install the best heating and cooling systems that fits their needs. Since 1989, we've installed heating and cooling systems in Boston and its surrounding areas, tackling tough problems that our clients face. Our goal is to ensure our clients have energy efficient, quiet, reliable systems so they can live their lives to the fullest both at home and at work. Our dedication to our customers' needs is what drives us each and every day. Our approach to temperature control and comfort has helped us become one of the most respected names in heating, cooling, and refrigeration in New England.

"From start to finish, NETR did a fantastic job. I met 3-4 other vendors, and they didn't come close to NETR's responsiveness, professionalism, or timeliness. NETR earned my business before I even got a quote from some of the others. The salesman, Mark, arrived on time, was respectful & attentive to what we needed, explained our options well, and provided a competitive quote before he left my home. NETR also offered a 5-year 0% interest loan for the project (via a relationship with GreenSky). It took only a few days to schedule installation. The installers were prompt, professional, respectful of our property, and did an excellent job installing the electrical components, compressor, branch box, and 5 heads. They did a nice job of consolidating and hiding the lines on the outside of the house. This past year, we've worked with many contractors, some good, some terrible, so I can compare. NETR was one of the best, and I would hire them for my next project in a heartbeat. "

"Submitted quote and George was quick to respond and was friendly. Was able to schedule a technician to come out next day! The technician arrived on time, knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process. Open communication, no hidden fees, did not fix items that were not broken, honest with issue and pricing. They were here to fix the problem and not to give a sale pitch. I would HIGHLY recommend and will be using them again for yearly maintenance."

"they initially quoted $89 for AC diagnostics which is reasonable even though most companies charge nothing. Technician is very friendly and knowledgeable and walked me through the process. he checked the compressor outside and he suspected a leak. and then wanted to check the coil inside the blower. he detected a small leak with the electronic device. he mentioned coil may need replacement. After spending 10 mins in his truck to call the company he came back and said coil is not covered with warranty and quoted $5,400 to replace the coil and it is backordered for 6 weeks. 6 week will brings us to mid August so i told him i dont want to sign up for repair and wait 6 weeks. he then tried to sell me a maintenance plan which i declined. Then he said he will charge for the diagnostics which he spent total 30 mins including talking on the phone for warranty coverage. he said he did more than basic diagnostics which is $149. when he handed me the payment he added up initial $89 and $149 to pay $238 for 30 mins diagnostics. Total scam. i dont even know if they do any real work beyond the charging $238 for 30 mins diagnostics. probably they will hire a separate contractor to do the job and keep selling overpriced diagnostics and maintenance plans. They all you 10 times to sell you the initial diagnostics but after you pay $238 not even a single call to ask about experience. worst ever."

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An evaporator coil is the chilled indoor coil that pulls heat out of your home’s air. As warm air passes over it, the refrigerant inside absorbs the heat and sends it outdoors, leaving cooler air behind. When the coil wears out or leaks, you’ll notice weaker cooling, higher bills, or even small puddles of refrigerant around the unit.

You’ll know an evaporator coil is on its last legs when airflow turns weak, the air feels lukewarm, or your energy bill suddenly spikes. Short cycling, hissing sounds, and visible refrigerant leaks are other red flags. Acting quickly keeps the repair bill smaller and prevents a full system breakdown, so call an HVAC pro as soon as you spot these issues.

With routine filter changes and a yearly tune-up, most evaporator coils last 10 to 20 years. Heavy summer use, skipped maintenance, or corrosive indoor air can shave years off that span, while a lightly used, well-kept system can reach the upper end. Staying on top of simple upkeep is the best way to protect the coil’s lifespan.
