Furnace Installation for Biddeford Homeowners
High-Efficiency Models
Proper Sizing
Ductwork Inspection Included
When Biddeford homeowners need furnace installation, Aces Highlands is the local team to call. We are based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland — a short drive from Biddeford in York County — so we respond quickly and know the homes, the weather, and the codes in your area.
When it is time for a new furnace, Aces Highlands helps you choose and install a high-efficiency system that delivers dependable heat and lower energy costs. Every installation includes proper sizing, clean ductwork connections, and thorough testing.
We install oil, propane, and natural gas furnaces from trusted brands. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can operate at 95% efficiency or higher, meaning more of your fuel dollar goes toward heating your home instead of going up the chimney. You might also want to consider a heat pump system for even greater efficiency and year-round comfort.
Proper sizing is critical for furnace performance. An oversized furnace short-cycles and creates temperature swings, while an undersized unit runs constantly without reaching comfortable temperatures. We perform a load calculation to determine the right size for your home.
Our furnace installations include removal of the old unit, new furnace installation, ductwork inspection and connection, thermostat setup, and a complete system test. Older homes may also benefit from an electrical panel upgrade to support the new system. We make sure everything is working perfectly before we leave.
Why Biddeford Calls Aces Highlands
- We run trucks through Biddeford and the rest of York County routinely, not occasionally
- No scare tactics — just an accurate diagnosis and a price that holds
- Booking stays quick because we do not overbook the schedule
- Properly licensed and covered by insurance; Google reviewers back up the work
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.
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.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Biddeford job to a call center. Technicians are not on commission, so the recommendation you get is the one your house actually needs. We do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.
How a Furnace Works
- Return air — pulled in through the filter
- Blower — pushes air across the heat exchanger
- Burners — ignite to heat the exchanger
- Heat exchanger — transfers heat without mixing combustion gases
- Supply air — warm air delivered to the home

Furnace Installation: Sizing, Ductwork & Venting
A furnace replacement is a chance to fix problems the original installation may have never addressed — most of which live in the ductwork, not the furnace cabinet.

How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Installation in Biddeford
- Where Unitil (Northern Utilities) serves the street in Biddeford, gas equipment is usually the simplest furnace installation option; elsewhere we quote oil, propane and heat-pump alternatives side by side.
- About 64% of Biddeford homes heat with heating oil today. Oil equipment is installed to NFPA 31, gas and propane to NFPA 54/58, and every vent or chimney tie-in to NFPA 211.
- We don't close out a furnace installation without confirming CO detectors are installed near sleeping areas, which Maine requires wherever the heat comes from burning fuel.

He was very friendly. He gave me an honest explanation on why I shouldn't recharge my A/C unit and what he suggested made much more sense. He really took care of everything. He is very professional, always called me with updates. 5 stars is not enough — I give this company 10 stars.

I've had three HVAC issues over the past two years. Each time I call, Elija or the office picks up the phone, and my problem is fixed in 24 hrs. Their solutions always feel correct and honest. I cannot recommend them more.

We highly recommend Highlands Heating & AC. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and do great work. Our boiler stopped working and Elijah was quick to respond after hours on a Friday. He installed a new boiler and heat pump hot water heater.

Furnace Installation FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost installed?
Most residential furnace replacements run roughly $5,000–$9,000 installed depending on fuel type, efficiency class, and ductwork condition. We provide a firm written quote before ordering equipment, and financing is available.
How long does furnace installation take?
A straightforward replacement is completed in one day, with heat restored the same evening. Jobs involving significant ductwork, venting changes, or fuel conversion may take a second day.
What size furnace does my home need?
The size should come from a heat-loss calculation of your actual home — insulation, windows, air sealing, square footage — not from copying the old unit’s label. Oversized furnaces short-cycle and create temperature swings; undersized ones run constantly and still fall behind.
Should I replace my furnace with a heat pump instead?
Worth considering. Cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently through most of a Maine winter and add air conditioning, and Efficiency Maine rebates may apply. Many homes pair a heat pump with a furnace as backup. We install both, so we can price the options against each other honestly.
Do you remove the old furnace?
Yes — removal and disposal of the old unit is included in every installation, along with a full cleanup of the work area.
