Boiler Installation for Eliot Homeowners

When Eliot homeowners need boiler installation, Aces Highlands is the local team to call. We are based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland — a short drive from Eliot in York County — so we respond quickly and know the homes, the weather, and the codes in your area.
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.

Eliot Homes and What They Need
Eliot's median home was built in 1979, with about a quarter of housing predating 1940, reflecting a town that grew substantially from roughly 2,500 residents in 1950 to over 6,700 by 2020. That range of construction eras means service calls here run from vintage farmhouse wiring to routine work on newer subdivisions.
Heating and Cooling in Eliot
About 62 percent of Eliot households heat mainly with fuel oil, with bottled or tank propane at 21 percent and electricity at 7 percent; there is no confirmed natural gas utility reaching Eliot itself, even though neighboring Kittery has gas service. A heat pump paired with the existing oil system is a common upgrade here.

Getting to Know Eliot
Eliot incorporated as its own town on March 1, 1810, and today borders three New Hampshire communities -- Dover, Portsmouth and Newington -- across the Piscataqua River, along with South Berwick and York on the Maine side. The town is also home to Green Acre, a historic Bahá'í school property.
Eliot's population has grown steadily from around 1,650 residents in 1810 to over 6,700 by 2020, with most of that growth landing in the second half of the 20th century. The town is now extending municipal water and sewer service along the Route 236 corridor under a tax-increment financing district.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Eliot gets treated. Our technicians are not commissioned salespeople and nobody here is required to upsell you anything. Earning the next call, not hitting a sales target, is the entire business plan.
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.

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.

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.
