Boiler Installation for Buxton Homeowners
High-Efficiency Systems
Proper Sizing & Design
Clean Copper Piping
Buxton homeowners call Aces Highlands for boiler installation because we are close by, based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, and out on York County roads every day — we know this area's housing, weather and permit process cold.
Aces Highlands installs high-efficiency boiler systems designed to keep your home warm through the toughest Maine winters. Every installation is properly sized, cleanly piped, and thoroughly tested before we leave.
We install oil, propane, and natural gas boilers from trusted manufacturers including Viessmann, Buderus, and Weil-McLain. Our installations feature clean copper piping, properly insulated lines, and professional workmanship that speaks for itself.
Every boiler installation starts with a heat loss calculation to determine the right size system for your home. An oversized boiler wastes fuel and short-cycles, while an undersized system cannot keep up in cold weather. We get the sizing right. Pair your new boiler with a radiant floor heating system for the ultimate in comfort.
We handle complete system installations including boiler placement, piping, zone controls, expansion tanks, and all necessary safety devices. Our work meets or exceeds all applicable codes and manufacturer specifications. Ask about our financing plans for new boiler installations.

Buxton Homes and What They Need
Buxton's median home was built in 1981, with 19 percent of housing predating 1940 and 28 percent predating 1960 -- a mix of older mill-village homes along the Saco River and later rural infill from the town's growth boom in the 1970s. That range of construction eras means we see everything from vintage mill-house wiring to routine maintenance on newer systems.
Heating and Cooling in Buxton
Fuel oil dominates in Buxton at nearly 74 percent of households, the highest share of any town in this group, with wood at 9 percent and bottled or tank propane at 9 percent; there is no piped natural gas service in town. That heavy oil dependence makes a heat pump pairing one of the most requested upgrades we quote in Buxton.
Getting to Know Buxton
Buxton was granted in 1728 as Narragansett Township No. 1 and incorporated in 1772, named by the Rev. Paul Coffin after Buxton, Derbyshire, England. The Saco and Little Rivers drain the town, which grew up around a string of 19th-century water-powered mill villages -- Salmon Falls, Chicopee, Groveville, Bar Mills, West Buxton and Buxton Center.
Two of those mill-era landmarks, the 1813 Buxton Powder House and the 1822 Tory Hill Meeting House, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Buxton also saw its steepest population growth, 84 percent, between 1970 and 1980, which reshaped a lot of the town's housing stock.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Buxton gets treated. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.
How a Boiler Works
- Burner — ignites fuel to heat the exchanger
- Heat exchanger — heats the water circulating in the loop
- Circulator pump — pushes hot water through the loop
- Expansion tank — absorbs pressure as water heats and expands
- Baseboard loop — hot water out, cooler water returns

Boiler Installation: Sizing, Piping & the Details That Matter
A boiler replacement is one of the few HVAC jobs where reusing the existing piping layout without checking it can quietly undercut the new equipment's performance.

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.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.
Boiler Installation FAQs
How long does a boiler last in Maine?
A well-maintained cast-iron boiler commonly runs 20–30 years; high-efficiency condensing boilers typically last 15–20. Annual maintenance is the biggest factor — a neglected boiler gives up years early, a serviced one keeps going.
How much does boiler replacement cost?
Most full residential replacements in Southern Maine land between $7,000 and $12,000 installed, depending on fuel type, efficiency class, and the piping and venting work involved. We provide a firm written quote before any work begins, and financing is available.
How long will I be without heat during the swap?
Most replacements are completed in one to two days, and we plan the changeover so your home is without heat for the shortest window possible — usually just part of one working day.
Should I convert from oil to propane or natural gas?
It depends on fuel availability at your address, your current equipment’s age, and long-term fuel pricing. Conversions unlock quiet, compact high-efficiency boilers, but they carry added venting and fuel-line costs. We install oil, propane, and gas systems, so our recommendation is not biased toward any one answer.
What boiler brands do you install?
We install trusted manufacturers including Viessmann, Buderus, and Weil-McLain, and we match the brand and model to your system design rather than pushing a single house brand.
