Radiant Floor Heating for York Homeowners
Even Heat Distribution
Energy Efficient
Silent Operation
York sits in York County, part of the territory Aces Highlands covers out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland every week — so a call for radiant floor heating gets a technician who already knows the local housing and codes, not a first-timer.
Radiant floor heating delivers warm, even comfort from the ground up — no drafts, no noise, and no dust blowing through ducts. Aces Highlands installs hydronic radiant floor systems for new construction and renovations.
Hydronic radiant floor heating works by circulating warm water through PEX tubing installed beneath your floors. The heat radiates evenly across the floor surface, warming the room from the bottom up for consistent, draft-free comfort.
We install radiant systems in concrete slabs, under wood subfloors, and in staple-up configurations. Each system is designed with proper tube spacing, zone controls, and manifold sizing to ensure even heat distribution throughout your home. A new high-efficiency boiler is the ideal companion for a radiant floor system.
Radiant floor heating pairs perfectly with high-efficiency boilers and can also work with heat pump water heaters for an all-electric solution. We design each system based on your home, your floors, and your heating goals. Reach out for a consultation on radiant floor heating for your home.

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.
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.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your York job to a call center. Every technician is paid to solve the problem in front of them, not to hit an upsell quota. Earning the next call, not hitting a sales target, is the entire business plan.
How Radiant Floor Heat Works
- Boiler — heats water for the loop
- Manifold — splits and balances flow to each loop
- PEX tubing — embedded in the floor slab
- Radiant floor — warms the slab evenly
- Heat rises — gently warms the room above

Radiant Floor Heat: Installation, Manifolds & Troubleshooting
Radiant floor heat is one of the most comfortable systems we install, and one of the least understood — most homeowners have never seen the manifold that makes the whole thing work.

- State law requires a carbon monoxide detector in each area within or giving access to a bedroom wherever a fuel-burning heating appliance like a boiler serves a covered dwelling. mainelegislature.org
- Installing or servicing an oil-fired boiler in Maine requires a Maine Fuel Board Oil Burner Technician license (Apprentice, Journeyman, or Master), and apprentices must work under a licensed technician. maine.gov
- The Maine Fuel Board's rules for oil-burning equipment incorporate NFPA 31, the national fire-safety standard covering installation, venting, and chimney-flue sizing for oil-fired appliances like boilers. maine.gov
How Aces Highlands Handles Radiant Floor Heating in York
- About 55% of York 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 radiant floor heating 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.

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.
Radiant Floor Heating FAQs
Does radiant floor heating work under wood and tile floors?
Yes. Tile and stone are the best conductors and feel warmest; engineered wood and many hardwoods work well when water temperatures are designed for them; even carpet can work with the right pad. We design the tube layout and water temperature around your specific floor covering.
Can radiant floors heat my whole house?
Yes — with a properly done heat-loss calculation and design, hydronic radiant can be the sole heat source for a Maine home. In retrofits, many homeowners run radiant in key rooms and keep baseboard or a heat pump elsewhere, all off the same boiler with separate zones.
Is radiant floor heating efficient?
Very. Radiant runs low water temperatures that let condensing boilers operate at peak efficiency, distributes heat without duct losses, and keeps warmth at occupant level — so most homes feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting than with forced air.
Can you add radiant heat to an existing room?
Often yes. If the subfloor is accessible from below (an unfinished basement under a kitchen, for example), staple-up radiant installs without disturbing the finished floor. Bathrooms and kitchens being remodeled are the other classic opportunity.
How long does a radiant floor system last?
The PEX tubing itself is typically rated for 50+ years — it generally outlives the boiler feeding it. The system has no moving parts in the floor; circulators and controls at the boiler are the only components that ever need service.
