Ductless Mini-Splits for Lebanon Homeowners
No Ductwork Required
Zone-by-Zone Control
Whisper-Quiet Operation
When Lebanon homeowners need ductless mini-splits, Aces Highlands is the local team to call. We are based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland — a short drive from Lebanon in York County — so we respond quickly and know the homes, the weather, and the codes in your area.
Ductless mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling without the need for ductwork. Aces Highlands installs single and multi-zone mini-split systems for homes that need targeted comfort in specific rooms or areas.
Mini-splits are ideal for additions, finished basements, garages, bedrooms over garages, and older homes without existing ductwork. Each indoor unit operates independently, giving you zone-by-zone temperature control and eliminating the energy waste of heating or cooling unoccupied rooms. If your home also needs new wiring to support the installation, we handle that too.
We install wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, and floor-mounted indoor units depending on your space and preferences. Each installation includes proper sizing, clean line routing, and thorough testing to ensure optimal performance.
Modern ductless systems operate at whisper-quiet levels and include features like programmable schedules, Wi-Fi control, and advanced filtration. We help you choose the right configuration for your home and budget. Explore our financing options to make your mini-split installation affordable.

Lebanon Homes and What They Need
Lebanon has the newest median housing stock of the York County towns Aces studied, built in 1989, with the lowest pre-1940 share at about 14 percent. Most of that growth happened after 1980, which means a lot of Lebanon's systems are reaching the age for their first major replacement rather than a full historic rebuild.
Heating and Cooling in Lebanon
Fuel oil and wood together heat the large majority of Lebanon homes -- about 67 percent on oil and 15 percent on wood, the highest combined oil-and-wood share of any town in this group -- with bottled or tank propane at 16 percent; there is no natural gas utility in town. That wood-and-oil combination is a natural fit for adding a heat pump to carry the shoulder seasons.
Getting to Know Lebanon
Lebanon was incorporated on June 17, 1767, making it Maine's 23rd incorporated town, and Wikipedia describes it plainly as 'the westernmost town in Maine.' It borders Acton, Sanford, Berwick and North Berwick on the Maine side, and Milton and Rochester, New Hampshire, on the other.
The town's population grew from about 1,150 in 1930 to more than 6,400 by 2020, with most of that growth arriving after 1980. Lebanon is drained by the Little River and the Salmon Falls River, the latter forming part of the state line with New Hampshire.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to Lebanon homeowners directly, not a franchise office somewhere else in the country. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
How a Ductless Mini-Split Works
- Outdoor condenser — compressor and fan reject or absorb heat
- Line set — refrigerant lines run through the wall sleeve
- Wall sleeve — one small penetration, no ductwork needed
- Indoor wall head — coil and blower
- Warm air — directed by adjustable louvers

Ductless Mini-Splits: Zoning, Placement & Multi-Unit Systems
A ductless mini-split solves a specific problem — heating and cooling a space with no existing ductwork — and it does it with more control over individual rooms than almost any ducted system can offer.

Codes & Permits for Ductless Mini-Splits in Lebanon
In Lebanon, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Lebanon Code Enforcement Office (Rod Furbush, Code Enforcement Officer) (15 Upper Guinea Road, Lebanon, ME 04027, (207) 457-6082 option 2). With 6,629 residents, Lebanon is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). The Little River and the Salmon Falls River (bordering New Hampshire) run through Lebanon and fall under state shoreland zoning.
- Anyone who connects or disconnects gauges or adds/removes refrigerant on a heat pump or air conditioner must hold EPA Section 608 technician certification; the credential does not expire once earned. epa.gov
- The electrical circuit that feeds a new heat pump or AC condenser needs an electrical permit, issued by the Electricians' Examining Board or the town's own electrical inspector, before the wiring is installed or altered. maine.gov
- Efficiency Maine offers rebates of up to $9,000 on qualifying heat pumps, but the equipment must be installed by an Efficiency Maine Residential Registered Vendor for the homeowner to receive the rebate. efficiencymaine.com
How Aces Highlands Handles Ductless Mini-Splits in Lebanon
- 67% of Lebanon households still heat primarily with heating oil, so we size a ductless mini-splits around whatever is already running the house and tell you straight whether it is worth keeping as a cold-snap backup.
- The circuit feeding the outdoor unit is permitted first, and all refrigerant handling follows EPA Section 608 rules — no shortcuts on either.
- Efficiency Maine rebates only pay out when a Residential Registered Vendor did the install, so we confirm eligibility with you up front — you can check any installer's registration yourself before signing anything.

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!

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.
Ductless Mini-Splits FAQs
Can a mini-split heat a room all winter in Maine?
Yes — cold-climate mini-splits are rated to keep producing heat at -13°F and below, and Maine homes run tens of thousands of them through every winter. Correct sizing and mounting the outdoor unit above snow line are what make the difference.
How much does a ductless mini-split cost installed?
A quality single-zone installation typically runs $4,000–$6,000. Multi-zone systems cost more depending on the number of indoor heads. Efficiency Maine rebates on qualifying systems reduce the net cost, and we quote firm prices up front.
Are mini-splits noisy?
No — modern indoor heads run at whisper-quiet levels on low fan speeds, quieter than a refrigerator, and the compressor noise stays outside. If a mini-split is loud, something is wrong with it.
Do mini-splits need maintenance?
Yes: rinse the indoor filters every few weeks during heavy use, and have the system professionally cleaned and checked once a year — coils, blower wheel, refrigerant charge, condensate drain, and defrost operation.
How long does installation take?
A typical single-zone installation is finished in one day, including electrical connection and full commissioning. Multi-zone projects usually take two to three days.
