Furnace Installation for Sabattus Homeowners
High-Efficiency Models
Proper Sizing
Ductwork Inspection Included
Sabattus homeowners call Aces Highlands for furnace installation because we are close by, based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, and out on Androscoggin County roads every day — we know this area's housing, weather and permit process cold.
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 Sabattus Calls Aces Highlands

- No scare tactics — just an accurate diagnosis and a price that holds
- Most requests land a visit within days, not the following month
- Properly licensed and covered by insurance, with a track record of Google reviews from real jobs
Sabattus Homes and What They Need
Sabattus has the newest median home of any Androscoggin town Aces serves, built in 1990, with about 12 percent of housing predating 1940 and 19 percent predating 1960. That newer stock is mostly first- or second-generation systems, which means heat pump repair and standard system maintenance are more common calls here than full rewires.
Heating and Cooling in Sabattus
About 73 percent of Sabattus households heat mainly with fuel oil, with wood at 10 percent and bottled or tank propane at 9 percent; utility gas use is negligible. That heavy oil reliance makes Sabattus a good fit for pairing an existing oil system with a heat pump to cut fuel deliveries.
Getting to Know Sabattus
Sabattus started out as 'Webster' when it was set off from Lisbon and incorporated in 1840, then took its current name in 1971 in honor of a former Anasagunticook chief. The village center sits right at the outlet of Sabattus Pond, the recreational lake that gives the town its identity in the northwestern part of town.
Sabattus is part of both the Lewiston-Auburn Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Lewiston-Auburn NECTA, putting it firmly in the orbit of Maine's twin cities even as it keeps its own small-town, lake-centered feel.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is independently owned and based in greater Portland, with no franchise territory map dictating how Sabattus 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 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.

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.

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!
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.
