Getting to Know York

York was first settled in 1624 as Agamenticus, and Sir Ferdinando Gorges chartered it as 'Gorgeana' in 1642 -- a charter sometimes cited as the first incorporated city in what is now the United States. It was reincorporated as York in 1652 under the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making it the second-oldest incorporated town in Maine, just two years behind Kittery.

A photograph of York's Cape Neddick 'Nubble' Light is included on the Voyager 1 Golden Record, labeled simply 'Seashore, Maine.' The town became a fashionable summer resort after the Civil War and still shows off Gilded Age, shingle-style architecture across its historic districts.

York Homes and What They Need

York's housing stock is largely mid-to-late 20th century, with a median build year of 1977 and about 22 percent of homes predating 1940. The town's large land area and coastal villages support a big seasonal and vacation-home population alongside year-round residents, which shows up as a wide range of system ages and quality on our service calls.

Heating and Cooling in York

About 55 percent of York households heat mainly with fuel oil, and a notably higher-than-average 22 percent use bottled or tank propane, consistent with no piped natural gas utility currently reaching York. That propane reliance makes a tankless water heater on propane a popular choice here.

Water Supply and Drains in York

York's public water is split across three different districts covering only part of the town: the York Water District (drawing from Chase's Pond since 1896) covers roughly a quarter of the land area around York Village, York Beach and the Route 1 corridor, with small slivers served by the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells and Kittery water districts. The large majority of York's land relies on private wells, and public sewer covers only a small fraction of town, concentrated in York Corner, York Village and York Beach, with most properties on private septic.

Power, Storms and Wiring in York

Central Maine Power serves York. With most of the town on private wells rather than a public system, losing power also means losing water pressure, which is why standby generator installation is such a common request across York's rural sections.

Local & Independent — Not a Franchise

Aces Highlands is a locally owned Portland, Maine company serving York — not a national franchise. Our technicians are not commissioned salespeople and nobody here is required to upsell you anything. We do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.
