Expert Repair Services for Gas/Oil Furnaces & Hydronic Air Handlers

Facing uneven heating, strange noises, or frequent breakdowns? Our technicians quickly diagnose and repair all makes and models of gas furnaces, oil furnaces, and air handlers with water coils.

Don't let a faulty system spike your fuel bills—professional repairs restore efficiency and safety.

Furnace & Air Handler Replacement: Upgrade to High-Efficiency Models

If your unit is over 15 years old, inefficient, or repair costs are mounting, upgrading is often the smarter, more affordable choice. We install high-efficiency furnaces and air handlers with AFUE ratings up to 98%, featuring:

  • Variable-speed blowers & modulating burners: Precise temperature control, quieter operation, and 20-30% lower fuel consumption.

  • Hydronic air handler upgrades: Seamless integration with boilers for superior humidity management and zoned heating.

  • Smart compatibility: Wi-Fi thermostats and diagnostic tools for proactive maintenance.

Key savings insight: Thanks to Efficiency Maine rebates, the total cost of a new high-efficiency unit can be less than repairing an old one—factoring in labor, parts, and ongoing inefficiency. Our team guides you through incentives to maximize your return.

Seamless Installation & Upgrade Process in Southern Maine

We make transitions effortless:

  1. Free in-home evaluation: Assess your current setup, home size, ductwork, and hydronic components to recommend the ideal replacement.

  2. Professional removal & install: Safe decommissioning of old equipment, precise venting, piping, electrical, and coil connections—all to code.

  3. System tuning & testing: Ensure optimal airflow, heat distribution, and efficiency from day one.

Experience the upgrade: Warmer, more consistent heat with reduced noise, cleaner air, and bills that drop noticeably each month.
