  • Dawn, Thank you for the ceiling work. I have not inspected it myself yet but my tenant said it looks great. I'll likely have a look this evening myself, but I am confident in the quality. I'll be in touch come springtime.

  • We wanted to stop paying the high oil bills and contacted Central Maine Heat Pumps for information on how heat pumps work. After getting an estimate and advice on other energy savings from their company we had one installed in our home. We saved $2500 in oil costs the first year.
