Kerivan-Lane Services in Lexington, MA

Expert HVAC Services in Lexington, MA

Looking for heating, air conditioning, plumbing, heating oil, propane, or diesel fuel service in Lexington, MA? We provide HVAC repair and replacement, fuel delivery, plumbing service, and seasonal maintenance for homes and businesses throughout town and the surrounding communities.

Lexington holds a wide range of housing stock for one town. Center-entrance colonials and antique homes sit within walking distance of the Battle Green and Massachusetts Avenue, and postwar capes and split-levels fill the neighborhoods east toward Arlington. The modernist enclaves at Six Moon Hill, Five Fields, and Peacock Farm added flat roofs, radiant slabs, and walls of glass to the same ZIP codes. Along the Route 128 corridor, office and lab buildings and active construction sites add a commercial fuel and equipment load on top of all of it.

That mix is why one house needs a boiler zone rebalanced, the house next door needs a ductless head where no duct will ever fit, and a site down the road needs diesel on hand before the next pour. We cover the whole list: heating and cooling repair, replacement, and maintenance, home heating oil and propane delivery, diesel fuel for commercial equipment, and licensed plumbing.

Climate & Home Comfort Needs in Weston

Lexington’s long heating season makes preseason care and fuel planning worth arranging early. When summer arrives, finished attics and sun-facing rooms may need closer attention to cooling. Spring and fall are useful times to review how both systems performed before the next period of heavy use.

Those conditions set the bar for what has to work in a Lexington home:

• Heating equipment that runs hard from October into April and gets tuned before the first cold snap
• Fuel planning that accounts for the coldest weeks, when consumption spikes
• Cooling added to houses that were never built for ductwork, without tearing up finished plaster
• Equipment ranging from decades-old boilers to current high-efficiency systems, sometimes on the same street

Our Services in Lexington, MA

From no-cool and no-heat repairs to fuel delivery and plumbing service, We provide a broad range of home comfort and energy services throughout Lexington. 

AC Repair, AC Replacement & Ductless Mini-Splits

We repair, maintain and install air conditioning in Lexington, MA. Central cooling depends on how well the ducts serve the home; ductless mini-splits give us a room-by-room option for an addition, finished attic or space without a duct route. We review the layout and existing equipment before recommending the work.

• AC repair for a system that runs but will not cool, short cycles, ices up, trips the breaker, or leaks water at the air handler
• AC replacement when a unit is past ten to fifteen years, needs repeat repairs, or runs on an older refrigerant that is being phased down industry wide
• Ductless mini-split installation, including Fujitsu heat pumps, for plaster-and-lath colonials, knee-wall capes, and flat-roofed mid-century homes where ductwork is not realistic
• Room-by-room zoning for additions, finished attics, and sun-facing bedrooms that never keep up with the rest of the house
• Seasonal maintenance scheduled ahead of cooling season, with coverage set out on our AC service plan page

Our air conditioning services page has the full scope.

Home Heating Oil Delivery

For an oil-heated home, delivery is where most of the worry lives. We deliver premium Bioheat with our Heating Oil Plus additive, which reduces clogs, sludge, and corrosion and works in your existing equipment with no upgrade required.

• Automatic delivery with remote tank monitoring, so refills are scheduled from measured levels, plus will-call and scheduled options if you would rather order yourself
• Bioheat with Heating Oil Plus, a premium blend that burns cleaner and is easier on the burner
• Oil burner service plans pairing delivery with an annual tune-up, parts protection, and priority service
• Oil Tank Protection Plan paying $3,600 toward replacing an actively leaking tank
• EasyPay Budget Plan spreading the season across twelve equal payments from July through June

Propane Delivery & Services

A new propane account begins with the equipment you use and how you want to arrange refills. We offer delivery, tank installation and replacement, safety inspections and leak testing for Lexington properties. Ask us about automatic delivery options and the setup needed for your appliances.

• Whole-home propane for heat, hot water, cooking, fireplaces, and pool heaters on one account
• Outdoor living loads such as grills, patio heaters, and fire pits added to an existing delivery schedule
• Standby generator fuel, which keeps heat, water, and refrigeration running when the power goes out

New propane accounts start with a call. The propane page explains the programs.

Diesel Fuel Delivery & On-Site Fuel Cubes

Contractors and commercial properties get diesel through a custom fuel cube program run out of the Needham depot. Each cube is sized to the site and double-walled for containment, with a secure pump and a dedicated power supply so only authorized personnel can dispense. Remote monitoring transmits fuel levels continuously to our dispatch team.

• Custom-sized, double-walled fuel cubes sited at the work area so equipment fuels where it operates
• Secure pump and dedicated power supply, keeping dispensing limited to your own crew
• Fuel for heavy machinery, construction sites, equipment fleets, and diesel standby generators along the Route 128 corridor and throughout town

Cube sizing and site requirements are on our diesel fuel page.

Plumbing Services

From small repairs to complete system replacements, our licensed plumbers provide the quality craftsmanship and customer care you deserve. Our Lexington plumbing services cover a wide variety of needs, including water heater installation and repair, sump pump services, leak detection and repair, fixture installations and upgrades, and whole-home plumbing inspections. We are committed to quick response times, clear communication, and solutions that last, ensuring your home’s plumbing system operates smoothly and reliably.

Sump pumps in wet basements and water heaters at the end of their life are the two calls that tend not to wait. Our plumbing services page lists the full range, and water heater replacement in one day covers replacement timing.

Why Choose Kerivan-Lane in Lexington, MA

Lexington homeowners have no shortage of contractors to call. A few things separate us from the rest of the list.

• Trusted local service since 1922
• Family-owned and operated
• Experienced technicians and licensed plumbing professionals
• Honest, transparent pricing
• After-hours emergency contact

We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with our customers by providing exceptional service and dependable solutions.

One Local Team for Fuel and Equipment

Oil, propane, diesel, heating, cooling, and plumbing all run through one operation. When a burner fails on a delivery day, there is no second vendor to coordinate with and no argument about whether the problem is the fuel or the equipment.

Delivery Planned From Real Tank Readings

Two situations break calendar-based delivery: a long cold stretch that burns through a tank early, and a house that sat empty with the thermostat still running. Remote tank monitoring on automatic accounts catches both before the level gets low.

An Honest Repair or Replace Recommendation

Our technicians explain the condition of the system, available repair options, and when replacement may provide better long-term value. We discuss the reasoning and cost of each option so you can compare them without pressure.

Service Built for Lexington’s Housing Mix

A house with no duct chases and a slab-on-grade ranch are different problems, and the right answer for one is the wrong answer for the other. Recommendations here start from how the house is built, not from a standard package.

About Kerivan-Lane & Our Lexington Team

We have been a family-owned fuel and mechanical services business since 1922, based at 30 Charles Street in Needham. Lexington sits inside the service area run from that facility, which is why the history on your equipment stays with one company instead of scattering across contractors.

The heating and cooling brands we install and service range from conventional furnaces and boilers to high-efficiency systems and Fujitsu ductless heat pumps. Fuel delivery and plumbing sit under the same roof, with plumbing work performed under Master Plumbing Services License #9739.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an AC repair or furnace repair cost?

Repair pricing depends on the fault, replacement parts and labor. Our furnace repair guide gives a general range of $150 to $1,500, not a quote for your system. Ask us to explain the diagnosed repair and any charges covered by your service plan before approving the work.

How long does a new HVAC installation take?

Many installations can be finished in one day. A change in system type, equipment or site conditions can require more time, so we will provide an installation plan before work begins. Ask about the expected duration when arranging access to your home.

Do I need automatic oil delivery to qualify for an oil service plan?

Yes. The Oil Burner Service Plan requires automatic oil delivery and equipment inspection and approval. Coverage begins after approval and payment of the plan invoice, subject to parts and technical-support availability. Ask us to confirm eligibility for your system before enrolling.

How can I get help with a no-heat problem after hours?

Call (617) 527-1745 and explain that you have no heat, along with the equipment type and Lexington address. We can confirm after-hours availability and the charges for the requested work. Do not assume a routine online inquiry has scheduled an emergency visit.

Payment & Budget Options

Our EasyPay Budget Plan divides your projected annual cost into twelve equal payments from July through June, and service plan costs can be included in the same monthly amount. EasyPay requires an automatic oil delivery account. Automatic and one-time card payments and twelve-month equipment financing are also available on our payment options page.
