Furnace Installation & Replacement in Maine

Heritage Home Services offers the following services for Maine homeowners:

• Furnace Installation: When it’s time to get a new furnace installed, Heritage offers several different options based on your unique needs. Our team continually learns about the latest furnace technology and how different systems are designed for different homes.
• Gas Furnaces: Gas furnaces are among the most popular in Maine for the cost, efficiency, life span, and low operational costs. Unmaintained gas furnaces can also emit higher levels of carbon monoxide into your home. It’s important to get a safety check every year to ensure your gas furnace is working without issues each year, alongside installing carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
• Oil Furnaces: For older homes, oil furnaces are still a great option because they not only keep large, open floor plans warm, but also come with a lower risk of carbon monoxide emissions. To keep an oil furnace maintained, homeowners need to have an oil tank installed at their home, and regular oil delivery service to keep your furnace running. While oil is typically more expensive, it also generates more heat when operated all year long.

Our team can help you find the right kind of furnace for your home based on how old your home is, how the floor plan is laid out, and what technology you are looking for. Once you have decided on which type of furnace works best for your family, we’ll give you an unbiased and transparent estimate and timeline to keep you warm all year long.

Is your furnace showing any of the following signs of wear and tear?

• Is your furnace over 15 years old? The average furnace has a lifespan of around 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance and care. If your furnace is older than 15 years old, it might be time to consider replacing it. Call Heritage today to see if it’s time to replace.
• Are your energy bills rising? If you’re spending more to keep your house warm and making more maintenance calls, it could be a sign your furnace is working harder than it needs to. Older units can struggle to produce heat across your home, causing it to use more fuel and drive your bills up. You could save more money by installing a new furnace.
• Is your home warming evenly? Are you wearing a t-shirt in one room, and sweaters in another part of the house? Uneven heating could be a sign your furnace is starting to go out. A new furnace will keep your entire home warm, comfortable, and safe all year long.
• Is there soot or rust accumulating on your furnace? If soot or rust is anywhere near your furnace, it is a major red flag. When soot or rust accumulates on your furnace, your furnace may not be functioning properly, and could lead to a house fire. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to consider a furnace replacement immediately.
• Is your furnace making unwanted noise? A good furnace is a quiet furnace: Operating silently is a sign it is in excellent condition. If it starts to make clanging or banging sounds that reverberate through the house, it’s time to think about a furnace replacement.

If you are experiencing any of the above, it’s time to get your furnace evaluated by the experts to keep your home warm and comfortable all year long. Call Heritage today and get all your questions about furnace installation and repair answered now.

Consider furnace replacement if your unit is more than 15 to 20 years old, requires frequent repairs, heats your home unevenly, or has seen a significant increase in energy bills. A cracked heat exchanger is also an immediate reason for replacement due to the risk of carbon monoxide leaks. Heritage will inspect your furnace and provide an honest assessment.
