Southern Maine Heat Pumps proudly serves homeowners and businesses throughout Berwick and York County. Berwick sits on the Salmon Falls River across from New Hampshire, and unlike its two sibling towns it has no piped natural gas, making electric heat pumps the clearest off-ramp from oil and wood. From Berwick village, the Salmon Falls riverfront to the surrounding area, we design and install cold-climate systems from Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Samsung that are rated to operate efficiently down to -13°F. Our most requested service in Berwick is heat pump installation, the single highest-value upgrade for comfort and energy savings.
Because we are based just down the road in Gorham, Berwick residents count on us for responsive service and honest advice. We install ductless mini-splits for homes without ductwork, handle replacements and upgrades of aging equipment, and guide you through every Efficiency Maine rebate available.

Berwick Heat Pumps: Mixed-Vintage Homes, Oil Heat
Southern Maine Heat Pumps installs and services cold-climate heat pump systems throughout Berwick, York County, from Berwick village and the Salmon Falls riverfront to the rest of town. Berwick's roughly 8,175 residents (Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2020-2024) rely on a heating mix that still leans heavily on delivered fuel and electricity rather than piped gas in most cases.
Housing here is a genuine mix of eras, with a median home built in 1989 and 16% of the stock predating 1940, per the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020-2024). That range means we rarely install the same layout twice, even on the same street.
Fuel oil/kerosene leads the way at 58.8% of occupied homes, with bottled/tank gas next at 17.3%. there is no gas main serving Berwick, so a heat pump here is really competing against delivered fuel and electric rates, not a cheaper gas bill.
Like the rest of Maine outside Aroostook County, Berwick sits in IECC climate zone 6, which is the reference point we design to rather than a milder national average — equipment gets sized for sustained cold, not just a typical afternoon.
Berwick names no municipal electrical inspector, so the State Electrical Inspector covers permits and inspections. Central Maine Power (CMP) is the electric utility here.
Berwick's permitting contact for this work is Berwick Code Enforcement Office; current requirements are posted at https://www.berwickmaine.gov/departments/code_enforcement_/index.php, and we confirm them before scheduling anything that touches a circuit or a wall. Across a town of roughly 8,175 people stretching from Berwick village and the Salmon Falls riverfront to the rest of Berwick, panel capacity and wiring age vary enough that every estimate starts with a look at the real house, not a phone quote.
Whether the question is a first heat pump installation, a ductless retrofit for a room addition, or something else entirely, we start every Berwick conversation with a free in-home look at the actual house.
From our base in Gorham, our family-owned team installs and services Mitsubishi, Daikin and Samsung systems across York County, and as an Efficiency Maine Residential Registered Vendor we handle the rebate paperwork for you. See our full services in Berwick for the complete list of what we install and repair in town.

Getting to Know Berwick
Berwick was incorporated in 1713, the ninth town incorporated in what is now Maine, on land the Abenaki knew as Newichawannock — "river of many falls." The town later split twice: South Berwick was set off in 1814 and North Berwick in 1831, both of which today have piped natural gas service that Berwick itself never received.
With about 59% of homes still on fuel oil and another 10% on wood, Berwick's heating mix reflects a town that never got a gas hookup as an alternative. That makes a heat pump one of the few upgrades that meaningfully beats oil on operating cost here, particularly in the mixed-vintage housing built through the 1970s and 80s along the river corridor.

What Our Customers Say
Here's what homeowners across Southern Maine say about the work.
“Nate did a nice, professional job cleaning and servicing our heat pump. We recommend and will use them again.”
Justin Spear

“I had neglected annual service out of fear that it would cost a fortune but when I called to make the appointment, they let me know what was included in service and the cost- amazing! I appreciated that they were willing to service the system even though they did not do the installation.”
Ben Winkler
April 2026
“I contacted Southern Maine Heat Pumps to service my two units. The technicians who came out to service our heat pumps did an outstanding job. They were very thorough and helpful. They did a way better job than what I have experienced before with other maintenance services.”
Matt Heer
March 2026
“The technician arrived right on time, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had both of my heat pumps running smoothly in no time. They explained everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell unnecessary services — just honest, quality work. The price was fair, and the customer service was exceptional.”
Sarah McKay

“I was being serviced by another local company as I had a crack in my Daikin Drip Pan. The previous company came out 3 times and finally diagnosed it. They ordered the part and then never showed up again even though the part was under warranty. I found Southern Maine on a google search and gave them a call. Sam called my back immediately.”
