Furnace Installation for South Berwick Homeowners
High-Efficiency Models
Proper Sizing
Ductwork Inspection Included
When South Berwick homeowners need furnace installation, Aces Highlands is the local team to call. We are based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland — a short drive from South Berwick in York County — so we respond quickly and know the homes, the weather, and the codes in your area.
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.

- Honest diagnostics and transparent pricing — no upselling

South Berwick Homes and What They Need
South Berwick's housing stock runs older than most of its York County neighbors, with a median build year of 1982 and 22 percent of homes predating 1940. The National Register-listed village center includes 18th-century homes like the Hamilton House and the Sarah Orne Jewett House, where rewiring work has to be done carefully around original construction.
Heating and Cooling in South Berwick
About 60 percent of South Berwick households heat mainly with fuel oil, with bottled or tank propane at 20 percent. A small reported share of "utility gas" in Census data does not match any confirmed piped natural gas provider serving the town, so we treat South Berwick as an oil-and-propane market rather than one with real gas-main access.
Getting to Know South Berwick
South Berwick was set off from Berwick and incorporated on its own on February 12, 1814. Author Sarah Orne Jewett was born here in 1849, and her family's 1774 home still stands in the village, alongside the Federal-style Hamilton House, built around 1785.
The town's village center was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, and nearby Vaughan Woods State Park gives South Berwick a mix of preserved history and open land along the Salmon Falls and Great Works rivers.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to South Berwick homeowners directly, not a franchise office somewhere else in the country. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
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.

With 7,670 residents, South Berwick is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC).

- Oil-fired furnaces fall under the same Maine Fuel Board Oil Burner Technician licensing (Apprentice/Journeyman/Master) as oil boilers. maine.gov
- 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
How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Installation in South Berwick
- About 60% of South Berwick homes heat with heating oil today. Oil equipment is installed to NFPA 31, gas and propane to NFPA 54/58, and every vent or chimney tie-in to NFPA 211.
- We don't close out a furnace installation without confirming CO detectors are installed near sleeping areas, which Maine requires wherever the heat comes from burning fuel.

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.
