Boiler Installation for Wells Homeowners
High-Efficiency Systems
Proper Sizing & Design
Clean Copper Piping
Wells homeowners call Aces Highlands for boiler installation because we are close by, based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, and out on York County roads every day — we know this area's housing, weather and permit process cold.
Aces Highlands installs high-efficiency boiler systems designed to keep your home warm through the toughest Maine winters. Every installation is properly sized, cleanly piped, and thoroughly tested before we leave.
We install oil, propane, and natural gas boilers from trusted manufacturers including Viessmann, Buderus, and Weil-McLain. Our installations feature clean copper piping, properly insulated lines, and professional workmanship that speaks for itself.
Every boiler installation starts with a heat loss calculation to determine the right size system for your home. An oversized boiler wastes fuel and short-cycles, while an undersized system cannot keep up in cold weather. We get the sizing right. Pair your new boiler with a radiant floor heating system for the ultimate in comfort.
We handle complete system installations including boiler placement, piping, zone controls, expansion tanks, and all necessary safety devices. Our work meets or exceeds all applicable codes and manufacturer specifications. Ask about our financing plans for new boiler installations.

Wells Homes and What They Need
Wells has one of the newest housing stocks among the York County coastal towns Aces serves, with a median build year of 1989 and only about 8 percent of homes predating 1940. That postwar-and-later coastal development boom means most of the systems we work on here are second- or third-generation, not original construction. Heat pump repair on those newer systems is a common call.
Heating and Cooling in Wells
Fuel oil heats about 55 percent of Wells households, with bottled or tank propane at 22 percent and electricity at 12 percent; Unitil runs natural gas into parts of town as well, though delivered fuels still dominate. That mix leaves plenty of room for pairing an existing oil system with a heat pump.
Getting to Know Wells
Wells was founded in 1643 and incorporated on July 5, 1653, making it the third town incorporated in Maine. The town is drained by the Webhannet River and is home to both the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve at Laudholm Farm and the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge.
Of the town's 73.6 square miles, more than 16 are water, reflecting Wells' extensive beach and marsh frontage across four distinct beach neighborhoods: Wells Beach, Moody Beach, Drakes Island Beach, and East Shore Beach.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
Aces Highlands answers to Wells 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 do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.
How a Boiler Works
- Burner — ignites fuel to heat the exchanger
- Heat exchanger — heats the water circulating in the loop
- Circulator pump — pushes hot water through the loop
- Expansion tank — absorbs pressure as water heats and expands
- Baseboard loop — hot water out, cooler water returns

Boiler Installation: Sizing, Piping & the Details That Matter
A boiler replacement is one of the few HVAC jobs where reusing the existing piping layout without checking it can quietly undercut the new equipment's performance.

How Aces Highlands Handles Boiler Installation in Wells
- Unitil (Northern Utilities) has mains through parts of Wells, so a gas-fired swap is on the table wherever a line already reaches the street; off that grid the choice is oil, propane or a heat pump.
- About 55% of Wells 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.
- Part of finishing a boiler installation is verifying CO alarm coverage near bedrooms, the standard Maine sets for homes with fuel-fired heat like a boiler.

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.

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.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.

I've had an excellent experience working with them for both electrical and HVAC work as I remodel my 1785 home. I highly recommend them.
Boiler Installation FAQs
How long does a boiler last in Maine?
A well-maintained cast-iron boiler commonly runs 20–30 years; high-efficiency condensing boilers typically last 15–20. Annual maintenance is the biggest factor — a neglected boiler gives up years early, a serviced one keeps going.
How much does boiler replacement cost?
Most full residential replacements in Southern Maine land between $7,000 and $12,000 installed, depending on fuel type, efficiency class, and the piping and venting work involved. We provide a firm written quote before any work begins, and financing is available.
How long will I be without heat during the swap?
Most replacements are completed in one to two days, and we plan the changeover so your home is without heat for the shortest window possible — usually just part of one working day.
Should I convert from oil to propane or natural gas?
It depends on fuel availability at your address, your current equipment’s age, and long-term fuel pricing. Conversions unlock quiet, compact high-efficiency boilers, but they carry added venting and fuel-line costs. We install oil, propane, and gas systems, so our recommendation is not biased toward any one answer.
What boiler brands do you install?
We install trusted manufacturers including Viessmann, Buderus, and Weil-McLain, and we match the brand and model to your system design rather than pushing a single house brand.
