Our Work

Furnace and Boiler Repair, Maintenance, and Installation We Provide

Furnace Repair for Maine Winters

When your furnace quits on a cold night, we get a technician out fast. Our team runs same-week diagnostics and repairs for no-heat calls across Farmington and the surrounding towns.

Annual Furnace and Boiler Maintenance

A seasonal tune-up catches worn parts and inefficiencies before a Maine winter puts real strain on your system. We recommend service every fall, ahead of heating season.

New Furnace and Boiler Installation

Older Maine homes need systems sized right, not just swapped in. We size and install efficient furnaces and boilers, and if you're weighing alternatives to oil or gas heat, we also handle heat pump installation and service.

Boiler Repair and Emergency Diagnostics

Hydronic heating systems are common in older farmhouses and colonials across our service area. We troubleshoot boiler issues and get emergency repairs done right the first time.

Common Questions

Furnace and Heating Questions Homeowners Ask Us

  • What should I do if my furnace stops working in Farmington?

    Shut off the unit if you smell fuel or hear grinding, then call RK Heating, Plumbing, Cooling for same-week emergency diagnostics. Most no-heat calls in Central Maine get a technician out within days, not weeks.
  • How often should a furnace or boiler get serviced in Maine?

    Once a year, ideally before heating season starts each fall, to catch worn parts and inefficiencies before a Maine winter puts real strain on the system.
  • Is it better to repair or replace an old furnace?

    If a furnace is past 15-18 years old and repair costs are climbing, replacement usually saves money long-term. RK gives homeowners an honest comparison before recommending either option.
  • Do you service oil, propane, and gas furnaces?

    Yes, RK Heating, Plumbing, Cooling repairs, maintains, and installs oil, propane, and natural gas furnace and boiler systems across Farmington and the surrounding Central and Western Maine corridor.
