Why Grafton homeowners plan insulation and heat pumps together
BCI Group coordinates HVAC projects with our partner 1A Home Energy. We review the home's weatherization and heating needs together, and installation scope and scheduling are confirmed with our partner.
Older homes with radiators or baseboard heat often switch to ductless heat pumps, which avoid opening walls for new ductwork.
Grafton is minutes from our Westborough, MA headquarters, so estimates and follow-up visits are easy to schedule.

Know your Grafton home
Grafton has historic homes around Grafton Common and in villages such as North Grafton and Fisherville, plus newer subdivisions built over the last few decades.
Grafton's villages, including North Grafton, South Grafton, Fisherville, Farnumsville and Saundersville, grew around mills on the Blackstone and Quinsigamond rivers, while newer neighborhoods spread out from Grafton Common. That mix means we often see antique homes and newer colonials on the same street.
Worcester County homes heated with oil or propane often see the fastest payback from sealing air leaks, because every gallon saved is money that stays in the house.

Recommended plan
How we would plan HVAC for a typical older home in Grafton
Tighten the house
Sealing and insulating reduce the heat the system must supply.
Go ductless
Mini-splits avoid running ducts through old walls.
Keep a backup
Some homes keep the existing boiler for the coldest days.
Right-size it
The load calculation reflects the upgraded home.
Newer homes with existing ductwork are often good candidates for ducted heat pumps that reuse the duct system.
