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
There is no franchise behind Aces Highlands — just a Portland-based crew that works Kennebunk under its own name. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. That is how we keep customers calling back, one honest job at a time.
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 Won't Heat? Here's How We Narrow It Down
Furnace calls almost always start the same way — "it's not blowing warm air" — but the actual cause splits into a handful of distinct failure points.

Codes & Permits for Furnace Repair 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). Kennebunk's Summer Street Historic District was the first historic district in Maine listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which can add review requirements for exterior work in that area.
- 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 Repair in Kennebunk
- Where Unitil (Northern Utilities) serves the street in Kennebunk, gas equipment is usually the simplest furnace repair 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.
- We don't close out a furnace repair without confirming CO detectors are installed near sleeping areas, which Maine requires wherever the heat comes from burning fuel.

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.

Elijah and Highlands Heating & AC were super helpful! Boiler failed over the weekend and Elijah was very responsive and helpful, getting us up and running right away. I would recommend him at HH&AC highly!

Furnace Repair FAQs
My furnace stopped working — what should I check first?
Check the thermostat batteries and settings, the furnace power switch (looks like a light switch on or near the unit), the breaker, and the filter — a fully clogged filter can trip the furnace’s safety limit. On oil units, confirm you have fuel and press the reset button only once. If none of that works, call us.
Why does my furnace turn on and off every few minutes?
Short-cycling is most often a clogged filter causing overheating, a dirty flame sensor dropping the flame signal, or an oversized furnace reaching temperature too fast. It wastes fuel and wears components, so it is worth fixing promptly.
How much does furnace repair cost?
Common repairs — flame sensors, ignitors, capacitors — typically run in the low hundreds. Blower motors and control boards cost more. We quote the exact price after diagnosis and before any repair, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
When is a furnace not worth repairing?
When it is past 15 years and facing a major repair like a heat exchanger, blower motor, or control board, replacement usually wins the math — especially counting the fuel savings of a modern high-efficiency unit. A cracked heat exchanger on an older furnace is almost always a replacement, for safety reasons.
Do you repair oil furnaces?
Yes — oil, propane, and natural gas. Our team holds a Maine Master Oil Burner license, so oil-fired equipment is core work for us, not an afterthought.
