Weston’s Rich History

Weston’s history is woven into its fabric. Did you know we officially became our own town in 1713? Before that, we were part of Watertown. Our town played a significant role during the American Revolution-just visit the Golden Ball Tavern Museum, and you’ll step right back into that time. Even in the 19th century, the arrival of the railroad transformed Weston from a largely agricultural area to a desirable residential suburb for Boston commuters. The shift away from farming changed our town, but we’ve never lost touch with our historical roots.

Tight-Knit Community Connections

Weston prides itself on its sense of community. Whether you’re involved with the Weston Historical Society, enjoying a game with the Weston Soccer Club, or simply catching up at the Weston Farmers Market, there’s always an opportunity to connect with your neighbors. The town actively promotes civic engagement through regular town meetings, a local newspaper-the Weston Town Crier-and events hosted by organizations like the Council on Aging. These efforts keep us connected and foster a shared sense of responsibility for maintaining the character and well-being of our community.

Upcoming Events and Activities

There’s always something happening in Weston. From library programs to the Weston COA Walking Group, the town offers numerous ways for residents to stay active and engaged. The community concerts on the Town Green are a perfect way to enjoy summer evenings with family and friends. And if you’re a parent, the Weston Community Children’s Association is a fantastic resource for connecting with other families and getting involved in local activities for your kids.

Weston’s Climate and Common HVAC Issues

As beautiful as Weston is, our weather can create some challenges for homeowners. With cold winters and warm, humid summers, maintaining a comfortable home year-round requires a reliable heating and air conditioning system. The drastic seasonal shifts can put a strain on HVAC systems, leading to higher energy bills and a variety of indoor air quality problems.

One common issue many homeowners face is inconsistent heating during the colder months. Some homes, especially the older historic properties Weston is known for, struggle with maintaining even temperatures. This is often due to outdated heating systems (which we refer to as Zombies) that weren’t designed for modern standards. As a trusted Mass Save® partner, we help homeowners upgrade to more energy-efficient HVAC equipment so that every room in your home feels just right-even during a New England winter.

During the humid summers, we frequently get calls about air conditioning systems that aren’t performing well. The increased demand on your AC system in the summer can lead to malfunctions, and if your system is outdated, it may struggle to keep up. Obie Comfort Solutions provides efficient air conditioning solutions to ensure your home stays cool, even during the hottest days of July and August. We also help homeowners explore energy-efficient options, like heat pumps, which are ideal for Weston’s climate.

Weston’s Neighborhoods & Local Hot Spots

Our town has several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. Whether you live near Case’s Corner, in the quieter Silver Hill, or the more bustling Town Center, there’s something for everyone in Weston. For dining, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Theo’s Pizzeria & Grill or Dumpling Daughter, two local favorites. At Obie Comfort Solutions, we offer light commercial HVAC services that ensure your business remains a comfortable environment for customers and employees alike.

If you’re looking to spend time outdoors, head to the Massachusetts Central Rail Trail or enjoy a peaceful walk around the Weston Reservoir. And of course, the beautiful autumns and scenic New England landscapes make outdoor activities all the more enjoyable.

Challenges for Weston Homeowners: Indoor Air Quality

A lesser-known but significant issue Weston residents face is indoor air quality. With older homes, particularly those in historic parts of town, poor ventilation is common. This can lead to higher humidity levels and even mold growth-especially in homes with basements or poor drainage systems. The issue of mold becomes more prominent during humid months, and it’s not just an annoyance-it’s a health risk. At Obie Comfort Solutions, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality solutions, from air purifiers to dehumidifiers, that can significantly improve the air you and your family breathe.

Transportation & Major Roads

Despite our peaceful suburban setting, Weston offers convenient access to major highways, including Route 128/I-95 and the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), making it easy to get into Boston or other nearby towns. Route 20 and Route 117 also run through town, keeping us well-connected while preserving that quiet, residential feel.

Weston’s Local Utility Providers

As residents, we rely on local utility companies like Eversource Energy for electricity and National Grid for gas services. Having a dependable energy provider is critical, especially during the winter months when heating is essential. And let’s not forget about our water supply from Aquarion Water Company, which provides high-quality water to the area.
