Furnace Installation for Kennebunk Homeowners
High-Efficiency Models
Proper Sizing
Ductwork Inspection Included
Kennebunk homeowners call Aces Highlands for furnace 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.
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 Kennebunk Calls Aces Highlands
- A York County crew that already knows Kennebunk's streets and housing stock
- Honest diagnostics and transparent pricing — no upselling
- A short wait for a truck, not a long one — most jobs move fast
- Licensed, insured, and background-checked, and reviewed by real customers on Google
Kennebunk Homes and What They Need
Kennebunk has the newest median home of the five York County coastal towns Aces studied, built in 1983, with under 19 percent of units predating 1940 and about 30 percent predating 1960. That newer stock still runs plenty of aging original heating and electrical systems worth a checkup.
Heating and Cooling in Kennebunk
About 56 percent of Kennebunk households heat mainly with fuel oil, with bottled or tank propane at 18 percent and electricity at 15 percent; Unitil also supplies natural gas to parts of town. Where gas is available, a gas boiler installation is often the simplest upgrade from an old oil system.
Getting to Know Kennebunk
Kennebunk broke off from Wells and Arundel to incorporate as its own town on June 24, 1820; the name comes from an Abenaki word describing 'the long cut bank.' Its Summer Street Historic District, home to the Federal-style Wedding Cake House, was the very first historic district in Maine listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Kennebunk is also the hometown of U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and headquarters to Tom's of Maine. Since December 1893, part of town has been served by the Kennebunk Light & Power District, one of only two municipally owned Light & Power Districts left in the state.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Kennebunk gets treated. 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.

Codes & Permits for Furnace Installation in Kennebunk
In Kennebunk, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Kennebunk Code Enforcement Office (Community Development Department) (Kennebunk Town Hall, 2nd Floor, 1 Summer Street, Kennebunk, ME 04043, (207) 985-2102 ext. 1303). With 11,820 residents, Kennebunk is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Maine's Mandatory Shoreland Zoning Act applies along the Kennebunk and Mousam Rivers and Kennebunk's Atlantic coastline (Kennebunk Beach, Gooch's Beach, Mother's Beach), restricting structure placement near the water.
- Maine's adopted 2021 International Mechanical Code (part of MUBEC) sets installation, clearance, and venting requirements for furnaces in municipalities that enforce the code. maine.gov
- A carbon monoxide detector must be present in each area within or giving access to a bedroom in the applicable occupancy types under 25 MRSA §2468, regardless of whether the furnace burns oil or gas. mainelegislature.org
- Oil-fired furnaces fall under the same Maine Fuel Board Oil Burner Technician licensing (Apprentice/Journeyman/Master) as oil boilers. maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Installation in Kennebunk
- Where Unitil (Northern Utilities) serves the street in Kennebunk, gas equipment is usually the simplest furnace installation option; elsewhere we quote oil, propane and heat-pump alternatives side by side.
- About 56% of Kennebunk 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.
- Part of finishing a furnace installation is verifying CO alarm coverage near bedrooms, the standard Maine sets for homes with fuel-fired heat like a furnace.

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.

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.
