Keeping homes warm around Highland Lake, Pleasant Mountain and the Western Maine foothills with thorough Annual Tune-Ups and honest service.
Preparing Bridgton & Fryeburg Heating Systems for Longer, Colder Foothill Winters
Winter comes earlier and digs in deeper as Route 302 climbs toward Bridgton, Highland Lake and Pleasant Mountain, and on out to Fryeburg and the Saco River valley. Heating systems up here simply run more hours than they do closer to the coast.
Whether it’s a village home near Bridgton’s Main Street, a ski house near Pleasant Mountain or a farmhouse in Fryeburg, a dirty combustion chamber or worn nozzle wastes oil every hour the burner runs, and it raises the odds of a lockout on a fifteen-below January night.
Combustion Chamber Vacuuming, Nozzle & Filter Replacement, and Efficiency Tuning
Longer run times make the yearly tune-up matter even more. Every Annual Tune-Up in Bridgton and Fryeburg includes:

Frequently Asked Questions for Bridgton & Fryeburg Homeowners
When is the best time to book an oil burner tune-up in Bridgton or Fryeburg?
Late summer and early fall, before the first mountain frost, is ideal. Max does Annual Tune-Ups throughout the season, though, so call whenever you’re ready.
Why is my oil boiler smoking or smelling like soot when it fires up?
A fouled nozzle, plugged oil filter, partly blocked flue or an out-of-adjustment air band on the burner causes incomplete combustion and soot. Turn the system off and call Max at (207) 693-8776 to have it cleaned and tuned safely.
Do you work on multi-zone hydronic boilers in larger mountain and lake homes?
Yes. Max works on multi-zone oil boilers, including Taco circulator pumps, zone valves and indirect water heaters, across Bridgton and Fryeburg.
