Leightons Heating & Cooling

Peter Leighton is an angel and honest as the day as long! We live in a disposable society where everybody wants to replace everything, but Peter believes in the value of service, maintenance and replacing parts. He had been maintaining our heating system for the past 12 years in West Newbury and I recommended him to an elderly client in Merrrimac who had been getting quotes up to $17,000 for a new heating system. When I arrived to her condo yesterday they were sitting and chatting at her kitchen table. He was explaining how worst case scenario she just needed a new hot water for 3K and he would be happy to maintain the old system. He didn’t even charge her for service call/consult! Don’t know what I’ll do when he retires 😀

Peter has been servicing and supplying oil for my two properties for the last few years. He is knowledgable, professional and very responsive. I highly reccomend him! There are some very cheap people who write negative reviews about people/services when in fact it is usually their own ignorance and lack of doing regular maintenance that causes their problems. I'm very happy with Leighton's service.

Peter and Pat have always been wonderful to me. He installed my new furnace and even went above and beyond to help me get a central air conditioning system. As a single parent they have always been there for me with my heating needs even when I couldn't afford it. Thank you.

Bad attitude and terrible pricing. First thing that Peter said when he came to look at our furnace was "you're screwed." How professional?! He was a jerk to deal with but ultimately got the job done. He gave me a ballpark range for the parts needed and told me a few hours of labor, which seemed fine. Well, I should have asked how much he charges for labor because I got the bill after the fact and he charged me over $200/hr. I have a graduate degree and I don't even charge that! Ridiculous and should have been disclosed when providing the quote. In short, he solved our problem but I won't be doing business with him again.

you should be more knowledgeable of steam boilers if you are to work on them and diagnose problems. The boiler was obviously leaking steam so installing new flue pipe would not have fixed the problem. maybe you need to stick to hydronic boilers
