AOB Mechanical | Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC & Plumbing in Portland, ME 04103

Preventing frozen and burst pipes starts with proper insulation, especially in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Our team at AOB Mechanical can assess your home's specific vulnerabilities, add insulation to exposed pipes, and install heat tape where needed. We also recommend keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate and letting a faucet drip slightly during extreme cold snaps to relieve pressure.

Snowmelt flooding can overwhelm drains and sump pumps. First, we'll address any immediate water damage with emergency drain cleaning and water pipe repair. For a long-term solution, we can inspect and repair your main drain line, upgrade your sump pump system, and ensure all floor drains are clear and functioning properly to handle future runoff and protect your Portland home.

Regular HVAC maintenance is crucial because your furnace works hardest during our cold winters. Before the freeze sets in, we check critical components, clean the system, and ensure it's operating efficiently. This prevents mid-winter breakdowns when you need heat the most, helps manage indoor humidity to protect pipes, and ensures your system is ready to handle the stress of rapid temperature swings common in our area.
