Massachusetts building code requires a permit for any HVAC system replacement, filed in Medway through the town building department, with a separate electrical permit for the dedicated circuits a heat pump or condenser needs. Gas and sheet-metal work involve the relevant inspectors as well. Permitting for a standard residential swap in Medway is generally quick, and any established contractor handles the filings and inspections as part of the project so the homeowner isn't navigating town hall directly.

Medway sits in the western edge of the Boston metro's pricing zone, so HVAC costs run moderate — above central MA, below the urban core. A like-for-like furnace replacement typically runs $6,500–$11,000; a combined furnace-and-AC swap is often $10,000–$16,000; a single-zone ductless mini-split runs roughly $4,000–$7,500; and a whole-home heat pump retrofit generally lands in the $18,000–$32,000 range before Mass Save rebates. System size, the condition of existing ductwork, and switching from fossil fuel to electric are the main cost drivers.

Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential hvac work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
