Getting to Know Biddeford
Biddeford's roots go back to the winter of 1616-17, when European settlers first arrived at Biddeford Pool -- roughly four years before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth. Once incorporated as Saco in 1653, it reorganized under the Biddeford name in 1718 and was chartered as a city in 1855.
The Saco River drops about 40 feet over falls in Biddeford, power that once ran one of New England's largest textile mill complexes, employing as many as 12,000 people before the last mill finally closed in 2009. The city covers about 59 square miles, nearly half of it water, with roughly 15 miles of river and Atlantic frontage at Biddeford Pool and Fortunes Rocks.
Biddeford Homes and What They Need
Biddeford's housing stock runs old: the median home was built in 1952, with about 41 percent of units predating 1940, reflecting the mill-era rowhouses and multi-family buildings that went up through the early 20th century. That density and age combination means rewiring a Biddeford multi-family often involves tracing circuits that were added or changed unit by unit over the decades.
Heating and Cooling in Biddeford
About 64 percent of Biddeford households heat mainly with fuel oil, with bottled or tank propane at 13 percent and electricity at 12 percent; Unitil also runs natural gas mains through parts of the city. Where a gas line already reaches the street, a furnace replacement can be a straightforward gas conversion; elsewhere we are typically pairing a heat pump with the existing oil system.
Water Supply and Drains in Biddeford
Public water comes from the Maine Water Company's Biddeford-Saco Division, which draws its entire supply from the Saco River. The city runs its own Wastewater Division, treating sewage at facilities on Water Street and at Stone Cliff near Biddeford Pool, backed by a combined-sewer-overflow storage tank and more than 50 miles of sewer lines. On the city's oldest streets, that combined-sewer history is worth knowing before assuming a backup is a simple drain cleaning fix.
Power, Storms and Wiring in Biddeford
Central Maine Power, Maine's largest electric utility, serves Biddeford. With so much of the city's housing built before 1940, older panels and knob-and-tube wiring show up regularly on service calls, especially in the mill-era multi-family buildings. Panel upgrades are a routine first step before adding central air or an EV charger.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving Biddeford — not a national franchise. Our technicians are not commissioned salespeople and nobody here is required to upsell you anything. We do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.
