Rich Mathews & Son Plumbing proudly serves Cambridge, MA with expert installation and replacement of water heaters, HVAC systems, and gas heating equipment. With over five decades of experience, we help homeowners in Cambridge upgrade their systems for better performance, energy savings, and long-term peace of mind.
Water Heater Installation and Replacement
We install a wide range of water heaters to meet your home’s hot water demands:
- Gas and electric water heaters.
- Tankless water heaters for continuous hot water and space savings.
- Hybrid and indirect systems for high-efficiency performance.
Why Cambridge Homeowners Upgrade:
- Many homes in Cambridge are older or multi-family properties with outdated, undersized systems.
- Inconsistent hot water and high energy bills are common signs of an aging unit.
- Tankless systems are ideal for busy households or homes with limited basement space near Harvard Square or Kendall Square.
- Water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years—timely replacement prevents catastrophic leaks and water damage.
Cooling and HVAC Systems
We install high-performance cooling systems that keep your home comfortable and efficient:
- Central air conditioning systems.
- Ductless mini-splits for zoned cooling and older homes without existing ductwork.
- Heat pumps for year-round heating and cooling.
Why Cambridge Residents Choose New HVAC Systems:
- Older AC units often struggle with New England’s humid summers, causing uneven cooling and rising energy use.
- Ductless systems are the perfect option for historic Cambridge properties, allowing modern cooling without ruining plaster walls.
- New installations improve indoor air quality and optimize whole-house humidity control.
- Systems over 10 to 15 years old are often inefficient and prone to expensive seasonal breakdowns.
Gas Heating Installations
We specialize in dependable gas heating systems tailored to withstand freezing winter temperatures:
- Gas boilers for radiant or baseboard heating.
- Gas furnaces for forced-air systems.
Our team will help you choose the right system based on your home’s size, insulation, and heating needs. We handle safe removal of your old equipment and expert installation of your new system.
Why Cambridge Homes Need Heating Upgrades:
- Outdated systems are significantly less efficient and more costly to maintain.
- Uneven heating, strange noises from your boiler, or rising monthly bills are clear signs it’s time to replace.
- Heating systems typically last 15 to 20 years—upgrading ensures your family stays safe and warm all winter long.
