"Before using this company, I did my research. They were the best priced, fastest to get an install and responded quickly. I would highly recommend them if you need a heat pump in the Bangor or Ellsworth area! The Install was so simple and didn't take long at all. Nate made sure I understood how to use it and double checked his work on site. I have been building a house and they were by far the easiest contractors to work with. Their price was almost half of what I was quoted elsewhere.. so I will be having 2 more installed coming up! I also love that they will come back whenever needed and will do all the cleanings themselves. I highly recommend them!"

"Incredibly professional, always happy to answer questions. Unlike other places that install and you never hear from again, Cam, David, and crew make sure your heat pump stays in tip top shape with yearly cleanings. They even offered to clean a unit that another contractor put in a year prior who refused to come clean it. I got quotes from over 8 different companies for my second heat pump, and Heat Pumps of Maine were a clear step above the rest."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

You should plan to change your AC unit's filter every one to three months, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. You should also clean the coils at least once per year, but if you have pets or someone in your household has allergies, you might need to clean them more often. Fortunately, many pros will clean the coils and change the filter for you during an inspection, which you should schedule once or twice per year.

An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:

  • Furnaces: 15 to 30 years

  • Boilers: 20 to 35 years

  • Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years

  • Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years

  • Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years

To find a reputable HVAC company, start by researching providers in your area. Look for companies with mostly positive online reviews and check the Better Business Bureau’s website for customer complaints. Next, verify their credentials. Rule out any companies that aren’t licensed, as this is a requirement in some states and municipalities, and confirm they are insured. Once you have a shortlist, contact each professional to ask key questions: How many years of experience do you have? Do you hold any third-party certifications? Do you have experience working on my specific type of HVAC system or brand? Can you provide references? What is your per-hour pricing? Do you offer maintenance contracts for ongoing savings? Do you provide a warranty for your work?
