Joel Duncan of Edge Energy was one of the first in Maine to install heat pumps as a primary source of heat in new and renovated residential homes. He sold, installed and serviced equipment before working with a distribution company to help represent the manufacturer's equipment that they provided. Joel would support his contractor's design build, consult on how to sell the job as well as install and service the equipment. Edge Energy's passion is efficiency. Available new technology, such as being able to heat with refrigeration, gives Edge Energy an avenue to help our customers by selling and servicing efficient products in their home or business.
"Prompt feedback on any questions. Team cleaned up after themselves each day. Talked through install process and ensured everyone in agreement before project was started. Would recommend them to anyone. Great value work done with exceptional customer service."

"Total Ripoff! My boiler stopped working the other day and my usual company was unable to come out due to being short-staffed that day. I resorted to google and unfortunately came across Aire Serv. Their technician (who was very nice) came out to assess the situation and determined it was caused by a damaged pilot assembly. After calling around for replacement parts, I was told that the parts were out of stock until later in the week. Despite this, I was still charged $234 for the trip fee and diagnostic fee. I was then quoted $1112 for the repairs to be done once the parts were in. I shared this quote with my normal company and they were appalled! Thankfully they fixed the issue for less than half the price Aire Serv was going to charge me! PLEASE do not use this money-grubbing company, and instead use a local independent company if you need heating work done!"

Heat pumps don’t create heat—they move it. A refrigerant cycles through two coils, picking up warmth from outside air in winter and releasing it indoors. In summer, the process reverses, pulling heat out of your house and sending it outside. Because the system simply transfers energy rather than generating it, you get efficient, year-round comfort without burning fuel.
With proper installation and regular upkeep, a quality heat pump typically lasts 12 to 20 years. Swap or clean filters as directed, book an annual tune-up, and tackle small repairs quickly to keep the system running smoothly. Skipping maintenance can shave years off the life span and undercut the energy savings you expect.
Heat pumps shine in areas where winter temps stay above about 40°F. Below that mark, efficiency drops, and once readings dip under 25°F you’ll want a backup heat source. Choose a model with a high Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) and budget for supplemental heat if your region sees deep freezes. That combo keeps comfort levels high without driving up utility bills.
The biggest drawbacks are the up-front price tag and lower efficiency in extreme cold. If winter temps in your area drop below 10°F, the outdoor unit can freeze, and you may need electric upgrades or duct tweaks to keep things running. Factor in these extras before you buy so the long-term savings aren’t wiped out by surprise costs.
