Billerica Heating Services
Working Heat Keeps Winter Chills at Bay
Comfort during winter has always hinged on keeping as much warmth inside as possible. It’s a tale as old as time, but luckily modern times afford us choice in keeping our homes warm. That’s especially good news for residents of Billerica, Andover, or any of the surrounding areas in New England – where our winters put heating systems through their paces.
Ostroski Plumbing and Heating is ready, willing, and able to inspect and repair heating systems including boilers, and steam boilers. Sometimes, however, a heater just refuses to work in spite of inspection and repair. Luckily, we can help if it’s time to install a new system.
Our other heating services include the following and more:
If your heater’s leaving you out in the cold, contact us online or call (978) 355-1673for a free consultation. We can provide complete heating services in Billerica that works best for your home and budget.
How Long Should a Heating System Last?
A heating system should last between 10 to 20 years, depending on the type and maintenance of the system. Well-maintained systems can last longer, while those subjected to harsh climates or temperatures may not last as long. Call Ostroski Plumbing & Heating Inc. to schedule a routine inspection today.

- Close doors to rooms you aren’t using to prevent heat escape
- Turn on your gas fireplace or light some candles - but never leave fire unattended
