Getting to Know Old Orchard Beach
Old Orchard Beach got its name from Thomas Rogers, who settled the area in 1657 and named it for his abandoned apple orchard; the town incorporated in 1883. Its seven-mile beach stretches into neighboring Scarborough and Saco, and the current 500-foot pier, built in 1980, replaced an 1898 steel pier that at 1,825 feet was once the longest steel pier in the world.
Palace Playland, the oceanside amusement park on the beachfront, has been running since 1902 -- a remarkable run considering a major fire in 1907 destroyed most of the town's large early hotels. Much of what visitors see downtown today was rebuilt in that fire's aftermath.
Old Orchard Beach Homes and What They Need
Old Orchard Beach's median home was built in 1982, with about 23 percent of the housing stock predating 1940 -- a legacy of the resort town's early-1900s hotel and cottage era, much of which was rebuilt after the 1907 fire that leveled the town's big early hotels. Converting an old cottage to year-round living here is one of our more common heat pump and insulation-adjacent projects.
Heating and Cooling in Old Orchard Beach
Fuel oil leads at about 48 percent of households, with electricity at 19 percent and bottled or tank propane at 16 percent; Unitil also supplies piped natural gas to parts of town. Where gas reaches the street, a furnace replacement can be a clean swap from an old oil unit.
Water Supply and Drains in Old Orchard Beach
Drinking water comes from the Maine Water Company's Biddeford & Saco Division, drawn entirely from the Saco River, while the town's own Wastewater Department handles sewage -- though some properties still use individual septic permits, so not every address is on the town system. Before quoting a sewer line repair here, we confirm whether a property is on town sewer or a private system.
Power, Storms and Wiring in Old Orchard Beach
Central Maine Power serves Old Orchard Beach, with no municipal electric utility in town. On older beachfront cottages, salt air takes a toll on outdoor equipment and panels, which makes panel upgrades a more frequent need than in inland towns.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving Old Orchard Beach — not a national franchise. Our technicians are not commissioned salespeople and nobody here is required to upsell you anything. We do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.
