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
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Biddeford gets treated. Our techs are paid to do the job right, not to upsell — no commission structure pushes them toward extra work. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
How a Heat Pump Works
- Outdoor unit — fan and compressor extract heat from outside air
- Reversing valve — switches the system between heating and cooling
- Line set — carries hot, high-pressure refrigerant indoors
- Indoor coil — releases heat into the airstream
- Warm air — the blower delivers it to the room

- 64% of Biddeford households still heat primarily with heating oil, so we size a heat pump repair around whatever is already running the house and tell you straight whether it is worth keeping as a cold-snap backup.
- Every outdoor unit we set gets its own permitted circuit before it's wired in, and any refrigerant work is done under our EPA Section 608 certification.
- Because Efficiency Maine ties its rebates to Residential Registered Vendor status, we go over what your project actually qualifies for before you commit a dollar.

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.

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.

This team was called in by my property management company for where I rent. Elijah and his team were professional, clear speaking. Good communicators gave me the real deal. Didn't give any runaround. I trust them and want to use them for my own projects.

Heat Pump Repair FAQs
Why is my heat pump covered in ice?
Light frost on the outdoor coil is normal — the unit runs periodic defrost cycles to clear it. Solid ice that never clears is not normal, and usually points to a failed defrost sensor or board, low refrigerant, or blocked airflow. Shut the unit off and have it diagnosed before the ice damages the fan or coil.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heat mode?
Check the remote is actually in heat mode and the filters are clean first. If those are fine, the usual causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failing reversing valve, or a compressor issue — all of which need a technician with gauges to confirm.
How much does heat pump repair cost?
Simple fixes like condensate clogs, sensors, or capacitors are commonly a few hundred dollars. Board replacements and refrigerant leak repairs cost more, and we always quote before we repair, so you can decide with the real number in front of you.
Do you service heat pumps you did not install?
Yes. We repair all major brands — GE, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG and others — regardless of who installed the system.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old heat pump?
Often yes, if the repair is minor and the system was installed well. Past 12–15 years or facing a compressor or major refrigerant repair, replacement usually makes more financial sense — especially with Efficiency Maine rebates lowering the cost of a new system. We give you both numbers and let you choose.
