Honest Diagnostics
Aces Highlands handles furnace repair for homeowners throughout South Berwick. We work out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, a short drive into York County, so response times stay quick and every job benefits from knowing the local housing stock and code requirements.
A broken furnace in Maine winter is an emergency. Aces Highlands provides fast, accurate furnace repair with honest diagnostics — we fix what actually needs fixing and nothing more.
Common furnace problems include no heat, blower issues, ignition failures, strange noises, short-cycling, and thermostat malfunctions. Our technicians can quickly identify the root cause and get your heat back on.
We repair oil, propane, and natural gas furnaces from all major manufacturers. We carry common parts like ignitors, flame sensors, blower motors, and control boards to complete most repairs in a single visit. Regular furnace maintenance can prevent many of these common issues.
If your furnace is at the end of its life and repair costs do not make sense, we will tell you honestly and help you evaluate replacement options. We never pressure you into a decision.

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. 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.

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

How Aces Highlands Handles Furnace Repair 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.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.
