Radiant Floor Heating for Kennebunk Homeowners
Even Heat Distribution
Energy Efficient
Silent Operation
Kennebunk homeowners call Aces Highlands for radiant floor heating 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.
Radiant floor heating delivers warm, even comfort from the ground up — no drafts, no noise, and no dust blowing through ducts. Aces Highlands installs hydronic radiant floor systems for new construction and renovations.
Hydronic radiant floor heating works by circulating warm water through PEX tubing installed beneath your floors. The heat radiates evenly across the floor surface, warming the room from the bottom up for consistent, draft-free comfort.
We install radiant systems in concrete slabs, under wood subfloors, and in staple-up configurations. Each system is designed with proper tube spacing, zone controls, and manifold sizing to ensure even heat distribution throughout your home. A new high-efficiency boiler is the ideal companion for a radiant floor system.
Radiant floor heating pairs perfectly with high-efficiency boilers and can also work with heat pump water heaters for an all-electric solution. We design each system based on your home, your floors, and your heating goals. Reach out for a consultation on radiant floor heating for your home.

- Based just outside Kennebunk and out on York County calls every day

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
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Kennebunk job to a call center. Technicians are not on commission, so the recommendation you get is the one your house actually needs. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
How Radiant Floor Heat Works
- Boiler — heats water for the loop
- Manifold — splits and balances flow to each loop
- PEX tubing — embedded in the floor slab
- Radiant floor — warms the slab evenly
- Heat rises — gently warms the room above

Radiant Floor Heat: Installation, Manifolds & Troubleshooting
Radiant floor heat is one of the most comfortable systems we install, and one of the least understood — most homeowners have never seen the manifold that makes the whole thing work.

Codes & Permits for Radiant Floor Heating 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). Electric service in Kennebunk is split between two utilities (KLPD and CMP) depending on the exact address — worth confirming which utility serves a given property before quoting hookup/upgrade work.
- State law requires a carbon monoxide detector in each area within or giving access to a bedroom wherever a fuel-burning heating appliance like a boiler serves a covered dwelling. mainelegislature.org
- Installing or servicing an oil-fired boiler in Maine requires a Maine Fuel Board Oil Burner Technician license (Apprentice, Journeyman, or Master), and apprentices must work under a licensed technician. maine.gov
- The Maine Fuel Board's rules for oil-burning equipment incorporate NFPA 31, the national fire-safety standard covering installation, venting, and chimney-flue sizing for oil-fired appliances like boilers. maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles Radiant Floor Heating in Kennebunk
- Where Unitil (Northern Utilities) serves the street in Kennebunk, gas equipment is usually the simplest radiant floor heating 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 radiant floor heating is verifying CO alarm coverage near bedrooms, the standard Maine sets for homes with fuel-fired heat like a boiler.

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!

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.

Radiant Floor Heating FAQs
Does radiant floor heating work under wood and tile floors?
Yes. Tile and stone are the best conductors and feel warmest; engineered wood and many hardwoods work well when water temperatures are designed for them; even carpet can work with the right pad. We design the tube layout and water temperature around your specific floor covering.
Can radiant floors heat my whole house?
Yes — with a properly done heat-loss calculation and design, hydronic radiant can be the sole heat source for a Maine home. In retrofits, many homeowners run radiant in key rooms and keep baseboard or a heat pump elsewhere, all off the same boiler with separate zones.
Is radiant floor heating efficient?
Very. Radiant runs low water temperatures that let condensing boilers operate at peak efficiency, distributes heat without duct losses, and keeps warmth at occupant level — so most homes feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting than with forced air.
Can you add radiant heat to an existing room?
Often yes. If the subfloor is accessible from below (an unfinished basement under a kitchen, for example), staple-up radiant installs without disturbing the finished floor. Bathrooms and kitchens being remodeled are the other classic opportunity.
How long does a radiant floor system last?
The PEX tubing itself is typically rated for 50+ years — it generally outlives the boiler feeding it. The system has no moving parts in the floor; circulators and controls at the boiler are the only components that ever need service.
