Heating System Maintenance in Maine
One of the most important aspects of home ownership is scheduling continued maintenance on your home.

Our friendly technicians can inspect your heating unit, make maintenance recommendations, and complete work in a timely manner.

How Annual Heating System Maintenance Keeps Your Home in Top Shape
Just like any mechanical system, furnaces and boilers can wear down over time. Without an annual inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, critical components can fail without warning, leaving you cold in the winter months.
Many manufacturer’s warranties require homeowners to have their furnace or boiler professionally maintained at least once per year. We recommend having your heating system inspected and maintenance done before or after the heating season to ensure the safety and comfort of your home.

When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is annual heating maintenance important for Maine homeowners?
Annual heating maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during Maine’s cold winters, improves energy efficiency to lower heating bills, extends the lifespan of your heating system, and ensures safe operation by checking for carbon monoxide leaks and other safety concerns. A well-maintained system also performs more reliably when you need it most.
-
What does a heating maintenance visit include?
A Heritage heating maintenance visit includes inspecting and cleaning the burner assembly, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, testing safety controls and limit switches, inspecting the flue and venting system, checking gas connections, lubricating moving parts, testing thermostat operation, and measuring system efficiency.
-
When should I schedule heating maintenance in Maine?
Heritage recommends scheduling heating maintenance in early fall before the heating season begins. This gives our technicians time to identify and address any issues before you depend on your heating system daily. Scheduling early also helps ensure appointment availability during the busy pre-winter season.
-
Can heating maintenance reduce my energy bills?
Yes. A properly maintained heating system operates more efficiently than a neglected one. Dirty burners, clogged filters, and worn components all force your system to work harder and use more energy. Regular maintenance keeps everything running at peak efficiency, which directly reduces your monthly heating costs.
-
Does Heritage offer a maintenance membership for Maine homeowners?
Yes. Heritage offers a Home Advantage Membership that includes annual heating and cooling maintenance along with additional benefits such as priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and extended warranty coverage. Contact Heritage to learn more about membership options.
