Knowles Mechanical, a heating, cooling and plumbing company, serves homes and businesses from Augusta to Portland and from Bangor to Bath, according to its website, which also describes the business as five-star rated on Google. The company describes itself as family-owned and says it offers around-the-clock emergency service through a separate after-hours line reachable at (207) 445-4092, extension 2. Its technicians work with brands including Trane, American Standard, York and Mitsubishi, the site says, and the company offers written estimates before starting any job along with financing options and Efficiency Maine rebates on qualifying upgrades.

Heating, Cooling and Plumbing

The company's heating division installs and repairs furnaces, including gas, oil, propane and electric models, and also services heat pumps, according to its website, with most furnace installations completed in a single day. Its cooling work covers air conditioner repair and ductless mini-split systems for homes without existing ductwork. A separate plumbing team handles fixture installation, leak detection and both tank and tankless water heaters, the site says, and the company can also be reached by email at info@knowlesmechanical.com.

A Solar Contracting Division

Beyond heating and cooling, Knowles Mechanical runs a solar contracting division for Maine businesses, according to its website. The division designs and installs rooftop solar arrays, ground-mount systems and battery storage meant to pair with solar for backup power and managing peak energy demand, the site says.

Serving Towns From Augusta to Bath

The company's website lists Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, Lewiston, Portland, Bath, Brunswick, Windham and Auburn among the towns it serves, with surrounding areas also covered; it says homeowners outside that list should still call, since the company likely serves their area too. The company says its technicians are fully licensed and insured and trained on current equipment, that pricing is given upfront with no surprises, and that the business is also hiring skilled tradespeople to join its team.
