Safety-First Approach
North Berwick sits in York County, part of the territory Aces Highlands covers out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland every week — so a call for boiler repair gets a technician who already knows the local housing and codes, not a first-timer.
When your boiler breaks down in the middle of a Maine winter, you need it fixed fast and fixed right. Aces Highlands provides expert boiler diagnostics and repair with a focus on safety and accuracy.
Common boiler issues include no heat, low pressure, strange noises, leaking, short-cycling, and thermostat problems. Our technicians diagnose the root cause accurately so you are not paying for repeat visits or unnecessary parts. If your boiler leak has caused water damage, our leak repair team can help address that as well.
We repair oil, propane, and natural gas boilers from all major manufacturers. Whether it is a faulty circulator pump, a failed zone valve, a cracked heat exchanger, or a control board issue, we have the experience to handle it.
Safety is always our first priority with boiler repairs. We test all safety controls, check for proper combustion, and verify carbon monoxide levels before clearing a system for operation. If your boiler is beyond repair, we offer professional boiler replacement with honest guidance on the best option for your home.

North Berwick Homes and What They Need
North Berwick's median home was built in 1983, with about 24 percent of housing predating 1940, tracing back to the town's roots as a 19th-century mill village around Doughty Falls. That mix of old mill-village housing and later infill is typical of what we see on a service call here.
Heating and Cooling in North Berwick
Fuel oil heats about 58 percent of North Berwick households, the lowest share among the Berwick-area towns, with bottled or tank propane at 25 percent and wood at 8 percent; there is no natural gas utility in town. With propane this common, a tankless water heater on propane is a popular upgrade.
Getting to Know North Berwick
North Berwick incorporated on March 22, 1831 and grew up as a 19th-century mill town powered by Doughty Falls on the Great Works River, which ran a sawmill, gristmill and carding mill before rail shipping arrived in 1842. Hussey Seating Company, founded here in 1835, was recognized in 2003 as Maine's oldest family-owned business.
Pratt & Whitney also operates a manufacturing plant in North Berwick, described as the largest manufacturing floor under one roof anywhere in Maine at 875,000 square feet -- a striking contrast to the town's quiet mill-village roots.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to North Berwick homeowners directly, not a franchise office somewhere else in the country. Our techs are paid to do the job right, not to upsell — no commission structure pushes them toward extra work. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.
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 Troubleshooting: Reading the Symptoms
A boiler that won't fire and a boiler that fires but doesn't heat the house are different problems with different urgency. Here's how to tell them apart before we arrive.

Codes & Permits for Boiler Repair in North Berwick
In North Berwick, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the North Berwick Code Enforcement Office (Matt LeConte, Code Enforcement Officer) (21 Main Street, North Berwick, ME 03906 (mailing: P.O. Box 422), (207) 676-3353 Opt. 2). With 5,129 residents, North Berwick is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Large manufacturing facilities (Hussey Seating, Pratt & Whitney) mean some commercial-scale HVAC/electrical demand exists alongside the town's mostly residential/rural housing stock.
- 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 Boiler Repair in North Berwick
- With 58% of North Berwick on heating oil, most boiler repair calls here follow NFPA 31 (oil), NFPA 54/58 (gas/propane) or NFPA 211 (venting), depending on what's already installed.
- Once a boiler repair is finished, we check that carbon monoxide detectors are actually present near the bedrooms — Maine law requires them in any home heated by fuel-burning equipment.

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.

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!

Where to begin? These guys hooked up a sauna for me and did an amazing job, it was not a small job. Projects big or small, these guys are my go to. Responsive, reasonably priced, and professional. In a world where it is tough to get good service, I'm thrilled to have these guys in my phone.
Boiler Repair FAQs
My boiler has no heat — what should I check before calling?
Check the thermostat is calling for heat, the emergency switch (usually a red switch at the top of the basement stairs) was not flipped off, the breaker is on, and — for oil systems — that you have fuel in the tank. Press the red reset button on an oil burner no more than once. If none of that restores heat, call us rather than repeatedly hitting reset, which can flood the chamber with oil.
Why is my boiler making a banging or rumbling noise?
That kettling sound usually means scale buildup on the heat exchanger or air trapped in the system — both fixable, and both worth addressing promptly since kettling stresses the boiler and wastes fuel.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
A leak somewhere in the system loop, a failing expansion tank, or a relief valve that is weeping. Small leaks are not always visible — they can hide in a slab or wall — and continually topping off with fresh water accelerates corrosion, so it is worth diagnosing rather than living with.
Is a leaking boiler an emergency?
Treat it as one. A minor fitting drip is often a quick fix, but a leak from the boiler block itself means the heat exchanger has failed. Either way, shut off the water feed if the leak is significant and call — water damage compounds by the hour.
How much does boiler repair cost?
Common repairs like circulator pumps, zone valves, and ignition components typically run from a couple hundred dollars up to around a thousand depending on the part. We diagnose first, quote the exact repair before doing it, and never invoice you for guesswork parts.
