Tank & Tankless Service

All Fuel Types
When Turner homeowners need water heater repair, Aces Highlands is the local team to call. We are based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland — a short drive from Turner in Androscoggin County — so we respond quickly and know the homes, the weather, and the codes in your area.
No hot water is never convenient. Aces Highlands diagnoses and repairs water heater issues quickly and accurately — getting your hot water back on as fast as possible.
Common water heater problems include no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, leaking, pilot light issues, and error codes on tankless units. Our technicians can quickly identify the problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution. If your water heater is leaking, our leak repair specialists can address any water damage at the same time.
We repair both tank and tankless water heaters from all major manufacturers. Common repairs include thermocouple replacement, heating element replacement, thermostat repair, anode rod replacement, and descaling for tankless units.
If your water heater is leaking from the tank or the cost of repair exceeds half the price of replacement, we will be honest about recommending a new unit — whether that is a traditional tank or a tankless system. We help you weigh the options without pressure.

Turner Homes and What They Need
Turner's median home was built in 1980, with about 16 percent of housing predating 1940 and 21 percent predating 1960 -- a moderate share of older farmhouses and village housing mixed with later rural infill. Older farmhouses in particular often need a fresh look at wiring that was added piecemeal over the decades.
Water Supply and Drains in Turner
Turner has no public water district and no public sewer system; homes rely on private wells and septic, with septic permits filed on the state's own HHE-200 and HHE-211 forms through the town's Code Enforcement Officer. On a rural well-and-septic property, leak repair often starts with checking the well's pressure tank rather than assuming municipal water pressure.
Getting to Know Turner
Turner was incorporated back in 1786, taking its current name from the town's first minister, Rev. Charles Turner, in place of the original 1768 land-grant name 'Sylvester-Canada.' It grew up as a farming community known for corn and apples, helped along by water-power sites on the Nezinscot River.
The town today is made up of three villages -- Turner, Turner Center, and North Turner -- and sits within the Lewiston-Auburn metro area even though it has kept its rural, agricultural character. That mix of old farmhouses and newer rural infill is part of what makes Turner's housing stock so varied.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving Turner — not a national franchise. Technicians are not on commission, so the recommendation you get is the one your house actually needs. We show up, fix the actual problem, and let the work speak for itself.
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

Water Heater Repair FAQs
Why do I suddenly have no hot water?
On electric units it is most often a tripped breaker, failed heating element, or the high-limit switch; on gas units, a pilot or ignition problem or a failed thermocouple; on tankless units, an error code from scale buildup or a flow sensor. Most of these are quick, affordable repairs.
My water heater is leaking — can it be fixed?
It depends where the water is coming from. Leaks at valves, fittings, or element gaskets are usually repairable. Water seeping from the tank body itself means the inner tank has corroded through, and replacement is the only fix. We will show you exactly which one you have.
Why does my pilot light keep going out?
The most common cause is a worn thermocouple — the safety sensor that holds the gas valve open — which is an inexpensive replacement. Draft problems, a dirty pilot orifice, or a failing gas control valve can also be responsible. It is a fast diagnosis for our technicians.
Why is my hot water rusty or smelly?
Rusty hot water usually means the anode rod is spent and the tank has begun corroding inside; a rotten-egg smell is typically bacteria reacting with the anode rod. An anode replacement and flush often solves it — but rust from an older tank can signal it is nearing the end.
Do you service tankless water heaters too?
Yes — we diagnose error codes, descale heat exchangers, replace flow sensors and igniters, and service all major tankless brands, whether or not we installed the unit.
