Heating in Maine: what's different
Heating across Maine depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 6–7). Heating systems in very cold climates run most of the year and a failure can quickly become an emergency. Fuel supply, venting clear of snow and backup heat all deserve attention.
In Maine specifically: heating oil costs. Heat pumps reduce oil use and costs. Extreme cold: Backup heat and frozen-pipe prevention are important.
Maine licenses oil and solid fuel burner technicians and propane and natural gas technicians through state boards; heat pump installers may need related licenses. Common systems in Maine: Oil boilers, Cold-climate ductless heat pumps, Propane heat, Wood and pellet stoves.
