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. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. 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 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.

Codes & Permits for Furnace 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). The Great Works River and its tributary the Negutaquet River run through North Berwick's historic mill village, where older building stock (23.7% pre-1940) may need electrical/plumbing upgrades.
- Installing, repairing, or servicing a propane or natural gas furnace requires a Maine Fuel Board Propane and Natural Gas Technician license, with separate authorizations depending on BTU size and scope of work. mainelegislature.org
- Propane and natural gas equipment and dispensing installations in Maine must comply with NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code) and NFPA 58 (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code). maine.gov
- 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
How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Repair in North Berwick
- With 58% of North Berwick on heating oil, most furnace repair calls here follow NFPA 31 (oil), NFPA 54/58 (gas/propane) or NFPA 211 (venting), depending on what's already installed.
- Once a furnace 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.

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.

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!

This team was called in by my property management company for where I rent. Elijah and his team were professional, clear speaking. Good communicators gave me the real deal. Didn't give any runaround. I trust them and want to use them for my own projects.

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.
