Boiler Installation for Kittery Homeowners
High-Efficiency Systems
Proper Sizing & Design
Clean Copper Piping
When Kittery 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 Kittery 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.

Kittery Homes and What They Need
Kittery has the oldest housing stock of the York County coastal towns Aces serves, with a median build year of 1965 and about 25 percent of homes predating 1940 (46 percent predating 1960) -- fitting for a town that has been incorporated since 1647. On homes this old, a rewiring project often turns up several generations of electrical work layered on top of each other.
Heating and Cooling in Kittery
Fuel oil heats about 60 percent of Kittery households, the highest share of any York County town Aces studied, with bottled or tank propane at 18 percent and electricity at 13 percent; Unitil also supplies natural gas to parts of town. That heavy oil dependence makes Kittery a strong market for pairing existing systems with a heat pump.
Getting to Know Kittery
Kittery was incorporated in 1647, making it the oldest incorporated town in Maine, and sits as the state's southernmost town, across the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, established in 1800 on Kittery's Seavey's Island, was the U.S. Navy's very first federal navy yard.
During the Revolutionary War, some of the first vessels ever built for the U.S. Navy, including the USS Ranger under John Paul Jones, were constructed right on Kittery's Badger's Island -- a history that still shapes the town's identity along the water.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to Kittery homeowners directly, not a franchise office somewhere else in the country. 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 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.

How Aces Highlands Handles Boiler Installation in Kittery
- Unitil (Northern Utilities) has mains through parts of Kittery, so a gas-fired swap is on the table wherever a line already reaches the street; off that grid the choice is oil, propane or a heat pump.
- About 60% of Kittery 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 boiler installation is verifying CO alarm coverage near bedrooms, the standard Maine sets for homes with fuel-fired heat like a boiler.

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.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.
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.
