Tetra HVAC installation reviews

"Big shout out to Jon and the Tetra team!"

I got a fair quote, they did the work and kept me apprised throughout the process and problem solved when we hit a few roadblocks. At the end of the day they did a great job on a difficult project. Best of all?
No upsells or extras and they charged exactly what we agreed to.
Thank you!

"It was the most smooth transaction I have ever experienced."

From the minute I inquired about the mini split system it was the most smooth transaction I have ever experienced. Every person though out the process was so helpful and very nice. Customer service was excellent and was there if you needed anything. I would HIGHLY recommend Tetra to anyone that is thinking of installing these amazing units!!! The team that came to install the system were so hard working, and did not even take a break.

Tetra did a great job and delivered on all the things they said they were going to do. They helped me out with the Loan process and working with me and my electricians. Jon Legg, Jet Li and Randy Nel were very helpful with any of my concerns. The install crew was great as well. They did 5 heads and my compressor all in one day. Unbelievable. Thank you Tetra

"Tetra did a wonderful job with the mini-split system they installed."

Tetra did a wonderful job with the mini-split system they installed. The install team was very accommodating and willing to work with us in the design stage. The installation itself was quick and painless. Finally, Tetra make is super easy to apply for the rebates and takes away the guess work. I highly recommend them for any heat pump/mini-split work you want done.

"I felt like their staff were truly interested in helping us get the best possible results for our home."

Tetra installed our minisplit system last year. The installers did a great job and Tetra was great to work with throughout. Tetra's staff were immediately accessible when I had questions or needed guidance with documents necessary for rebates, a loan, and warranties. Tetra's experts on mini-splits and hybrid electric water heaters provided essential guidance as I had no prior knowledge regarding these kinds of appliances. I did lots of comparison research and remember in particular how respectfully their hybrid electric water heater expert shared the pros and cons of water heaters that Tetra offered and didn't offer. I felt like their staff were truly interested in helping us get the best possible results for our home. Another way of stating this: I always felt that I was working with expert consultants and not sales people out to make a buck. I recommend this company highly and without reservation.

"The installation process was very smooth."

Tetra has been wonderful to work with. The installation process was very smooth. The best part, though, has been the ongoing customer service. If we ever have a problem or a question, they are incredibly responsive, and they get it taken care of very quickly. I highly recommend working with them.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Mass Save program?

Mass Save is a program sponsored by several Massachusetts utilities and energy efficiency providers including Berkshire Gas Company, Cape Light Compact, Eversource, Liberty, National Grid, and Unitil. These sponsors work with the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to promote energy efficiency services in Massachusetts. Through the program, Massachusetts residents and businesses can receive a no-cost Mass Save home assessment, as well as incentives including new insulation rebates, energy-efficient appliance rebates, heating rebates, and more.

How does a heat pump work?

Heat pumps are highly efficient electric heating and air conditioning systems. Simply put, the heat pump absorbs warm air and moves it from one place to another. In the summer time, it pulls warmth and moisture from inside your home and sends it outside using the refrigeration process. In the winter time, this process can be reversed by extracting warmth and moisture from outdoor temperatures down into the teens and pulling it into the home to provide heat.

Are heat pumps suitable for cold climates?

We only install heat pumps that are capable of heating in extremely cold temperatures. Our top tier models can heat down into the teens. When the temperature drops below 12 degrees Fahrenheit, back-up heat can be used to heat your home.

What are the electrical requirements?

The electrical usage (amperage) for a heat pump condenser depends on the size of the unit you need. Before we install the equipment, we'll confirm that your panel has the capacity to support the new system. If you need an electrical upgrade, we can bundle this into our project or you can work with your own electrician to prepare your panel.

How much will I spend on electricity?

It is very difficult to calculate operating costs because there are so many variables–the insulation value of your home, number and type of windows, natural drafts, condition and size of the existing ductwork, electricity rates in your area, etc. However, case studies in New England and the Great Lakes regions show that heat pump annual operating costs are less than fossil-fueled furnaces and traditional air conditioning systems. Case studies also show that customers start saving in the first year.
