Kennebunkport Homes and What They Need
Kennebunkport's median home was built in 1982, with about 13 percent of units predating 1940 and 29 percent predating 1960 -- a mix of early-1900s shingle-style cottages in the Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District alongside newer coastal construction. Those older cottages are prime candidates for a heat pump retrofit that extends comfortable use into the shoulder seasons.
Heating and Cooling in Kennebunkport
About half of Kennebunkport households heat mainly with fuel oil, with bottled or tank propane at 27 percent and electricity at 20 percent; there is no piped natural gas in town. With propane this common, a tankless water heater on propane is a popular upgrade for a seasonal cottage being used more of the year.
Getting to Know Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport was first incorporated in 1653 as Cape Porpus, renamed Arundel in 1701, and finally took its current name in 1821 to reflect a growing shipbuilding and trading economy. Walker's Point, the Bush family's summer estate here, has hosted world leaders including Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Cape Porpoise remains a working fishing harbor village within the town, keeping its own restaurants, church, library and commercial fleet. The Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District, running from Chick's Creek to Walker's Point, is full of early-1900s shingle-style summer cottages that still define much of the town's coastline.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving Kennebunkport — not a national franchise. Our technicians are not commissioned salespeople and nobody here is required to upsell you anything. 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.

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.

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.
