Furnace Installation for North Berwick Homeowners

Need furnace installation in North Berwick? Aces Highlands runs out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland and covers York County routinely, which means a technician who already understands the area's homes and permit process shows up, not a stranger learning it on the job.
When it is time for a new furnace, Aces Highlands helps you choose and install a high-efficiency system that delivers dependable heat and lower energy costs. Every installation includes proper sizing, clean ductwork connections, and thorough testing.
We install oil, propane, and natural gas furnaces from trusted brands. Modern high-efficiency furnaces can operate at 95% efficiency or higher, meaning more of your fuel dollar goes toward heating your home instead of going up the chimney. You might also want to consider a heat pump system for even greater efficiency and year-round comfort.
Proper sizing is critical for furnace performance. An oversized furnace short-cycles and creates temperature swings, while an undersized unit runs constantly without reaching comfortable temperatures. We perform a load calculation to determine the right size for your home.
Our furnace installations include removal of the old unit, new furnace installation, ductwork inspection and connection, thermostat setup, and a complete system test. Older homes may also benefit from an electrical panel upgrade to support the new system. We make sure everything is working perfectly before we leave.
Why North Berwick Calls Aces Highlands
- We run trucks through North Berwick and the rest of York County routinely, not occasionally
- We tell you what is actually wrong and what it costs, plainly, every time
- Booking stays quick because we do not overbook the schedule
- Properly licensed and covered by insurance, and reviewed by real customers on Google
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 is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how North Berwick gets treated. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job 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 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 Installation: Sizing, Ductwork & Venting
A furnace replacement is a chance to fix problems the original installation may have never addressed — most of which live in the ductwork, not the furnace cabinet.

Codes & Permits for Furnace Installation 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.
- Maine's adopted 2021 International Mechanical Code (part of MUBEC) sets installation, clearance, and venting requirements for furnaces in municipalities that enforce the code. maine.gov
- A carbon monoxide detector must be present in each area within or giving access to a bedroom in the applicable occupancy types under 25 MRSA §2468, regardless of whether the furnace burns oil or gas. mainelegislature.org
- Oil-fired furnaces fall under the same Maine Fuel Board Oil Burner Technician licensing (Apprentice/Journeyman/Master) as oil boilers. maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Installation in North Berwick
- With 58% of North Berwick on heating oil, most furnace installation calls here follow NFPA 31 (oil), NFPA 54/58 (gas/propane) or NFPA 211 (venting), depending on what's already installed.
- Part of finishing a furnace installation is verifying CO alarm coverage near bedrooms, the standard Maine sets for homes with fuel-fired heat like a furnace.

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.

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 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.
Furnace Installation FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost installed?
Most residential furnace replacements run roughly $5,000–$9,000 installed depending on fuel type, efficiency class, and ductwork condition. We provide a firm written quote before ordering equipment, and financing is available.
How long does furnace installation take?
A straightforward replacement is completed in one day, with heat restored the same evening. Jobs involving significant ductwork, venting changes, or fuel conversion may take a second day.
What size furnace does my home need?
The size should come from a heat-loss calculation of your actual home — insulation, windows, air sealing, square footage — not from copying the old unit’s label. Oversized furnaces short-cycle and create temperature swings; undersized ones run constantly and still fall behind.
Should I replace my furnace with a heat pump instead?
Worth considering. Cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently through most of a Maine winter and add air conditioning, and Efficiency Maine rebates may apply. Many homes pair a heat pump with a furnace as backup. We install both, so we can price the options against each other honestly.
Do you remove the old furnace?
Yes — removal and disposal of the old unit is included in every installation, along with a full cleanup of the work area.
