Lewiston Homes and What They Need
Lewiston's median home was built in 1957, with about 32 percent of the housing stock dating before 1940 and 54 percent before 1960 -- a mill-city profile concentrated in the tenement and triple-decker neighborhoods that grew up around the Bates Mill complex in the late 1800s and early 1900s. That density and age combination means plumbing work in older Lewiston buildings often has to account for shared walls and stacked units, not just a single-family layout.
Heating and Cooling in Lewiston
About 53 percent of Lewiston households heat mainly with fuel oil, 23 percent with utility gas, and 10 percent with electricity, per Census estimates, though Lewiston is not in Summit Natural Gas of Maine's published service area, so that utility-gas share likely reflects an older, more limited local distribution system rather than a modern buildout. Either way, a lot of Lewiston's oil-heated multi-unit buildings are strong candidates for a heat pump retrofit.
Getting to Know Lewiston
Lewiston grew up around Lewiston Falls on the Androscoggin River, which started powering the Bates Manufacturing Company's mill complex in 1852. For roughly three decades, Bates was Maine's single largest employer, and it stayed one of Lewiston's biggest employers well into the 20th century, a scale of industry that shaped the city's dense, mill-town neighborhoods.
The Androscoggin River still forms Lewiston's western border, separating it from twin city Auburn, and the two towns share more than a river: Lewiston draws its water through the jointly run Auburn Water District. That kind of shared infrastructure is common between the two cities, a legacy of how closely their industrial histories are tied together.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
There is no franchise behind Aces Highlands — just a Portland-based crew that works Lewiston under its own name. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.
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.

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.

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.
