Same-Day Service Available
For tank water heaters in North Berwick, homeowners turn to Aces Highlands: a Portland-based crew (508 Riverside St Unit 1) that is minutes from York County and already familiar with the homes, climate and codes here.
Traditional tank water heaters remain a reliable and cost-effective choice for many Maine homes. Aces Highlands installs and replaces tank water heaters with clean, professional workmanship and attention to code compliance.
We install electric, natural gas, and propane tank water heaters in sizes from 40 to 80 gallons. We help you determine the right size based on your household water usage, number of bathrooms, and daily hot water needs. Not sure if a tank or tankless water heater is right for you? We can help you decide.
Modern tank water heaters are significantly more efficient than older models. Upgraded insulation, improved burner designs, and electronic ignition systems all contribute to lower operating costs and faster recovery times.
Our installation includes removal of your old unit, proper placement and leveling, all plumbing and gas connections, temperature and pressure relief valve installation, and thorough testing. We handle everything from start to finish.
Why North Berwick Calls Aces Highlands
- We run trucks through North Berwick and the rest of York County routinely, not occasionally
- You get the real problem and a firm number, not a pitch for extras
- Scheduling that moves quickly, because a home without heat or water cannot wait
- Licensed and insured — neighbors in North Berwick leave us reviews 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.
Water Supply and Drains in North Berwick
No public water or sewer district was confirmed for North Berwick -- the town's own Code Enforcement Office points to the state's Subsurface Wastewater Disposal Rules instead, which tells us septic systems are the norm. We treat every North Berwick property as a well-and-septic job until proven otherwise.
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. That is how we keep customers calling back, one honest job at a time.
How a Tank Water Heater Works
- Cold inlet — the dip tube carries it to the tank bottom
- Burner — heats water at the bottom of the tank
- Anode rod — sacrificial rod that fights corrosion
- T&P valve — releases pressure if it builds too high
- Hot outlet — draws the hottest water from the top

Tank Water Heaters: Sizing, Anode Rods & Replacement Timing
Most homeowners replace a tank water heater the day it fails, in a rush. Understanding the parts that actually wear out lets you replace it on your own schedule instead.

Codes & Permits for Tank Water Heaters 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.
- A propane or natural gas-fired water heater installation or connection requires a Maine Fuel Board Propane and Natural Gas Technician license. mainelegislature.org
- Maine's adopted plumbing code (2021 Uniform Plumbing Code) requires every water heater's potable-water connections and temperature/pressure relief valve to meet UPC installation requirements, including a proper gravity discharge line. up.codes

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.

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.
Tank Water Heaters FAQs
How long does a tank water heater last?
Typically 10 to 12 years. Regular maintenance — flushing sediment and replacing the anode rod — can extend that, while hard water and neglect shorten it. If your heater is past 10 years old, it is smart to plan the replacement before it fails.
What size water heater do I need for a family of four?
A 50-gallon tank is the usual fit for a family of four, though a fast-recovery gas or propane unit can sometimes do the job at 40 gallons. Heavy hot-water habits — long showers, big soaking tubs, back-to-back laundry — may call for 60 gallons or more. We size it from your actual peak usage.
Can you replace my water heater the same day?
In many cases, yes. We stock and source common tank sizes quickly, and a standard like-for-like replacement typically takes two to four hours once we are on site. Call (207) 670-8616 in the morning and there is a good chance you have hot water again by evening.
Is it worth switching from electric to gas or propane?
If your home already has gas or propane service, switching can mean faster recovery and lower operating costs. If it does not, the cost of adding fuel lines usually outweighs the savings. We give you a straight answer for your specific home — not a one-size-fits-all pitch.
Will you pressure me toward a more expensive tankless unit?
No. As a local Portland company with no franchise quotas, we recommend tankless only when it genuinely fits your home and usage. For many Maine households, a well-installed tank heater is the right value — and we will say so plainly.
