Our heating services feature radiant heat systems with VIESSMANN controls and high-efficiency boilers. We install hydronic baseboards, radiators, and American Standard HVAC products with variable speed technology. From boiler replacements at institutions like Biddeford YMCA to residential heat pumps, we deliver customized solutions that balance comfort with energy efficiency across coastal Maine.
Geothermal
We specialize in Water Furnace geothermal systems with closed-loop configurations drilled to 1500 feet. Our systems achieve COP over 5 by leveraging stable underground temperatures. This renewable energy solution provides heating, cooling, and hot water while reducing operating costs by 30-40% compared to conventional systems, with payback periods of 5-6 years at current fuel prices.
Air Conditioning
Our American Standard HVAC solutions feature variable speed air handlers and dual compressors for efficient cooling. These systems maintain even temperatures while removing humidity, with Spine Fin coils for durability. We provide personalized assessments to select systems that can save up to 56% on energy bills while operating quietly and effectively in Maine's climate.
Mechanical Piping
We handle complex mechanical piping projects including high-pressure hydraulic systems for water parks. Our work includes installing 60HP pumps at Funtown USA and repiping rides at Splashtown. Using schedule 80 pipes and surge tanks, we ensure systems withstand pressures up to 2400 lbs while maintaining code compliance for commercial and industrial applications.

These guys fixed my furnace quickly and it seems to be working fine. The problem I have is that they spent two hours talking to me about cannibal satanists that were infiltrating the school boards and the fact that JFK Jr. is going to rise from the dead and help Trump get back into the White House. Pretty good plumbers but averall horrible people.

I just had JGP install a new water heater system. My options were explained really well and I have so much hot water when and where it is needed. Jeremy is a perfectionist. So many people have complimented his neat and precise installation. So, my 2nd experience with JGP was as great as my first!

Had faucet repair and geothermal maintenance done. Both workers were on time, pleasant, knowledgeable and left the work area cleaner than when they arrived. Office staff could not be more helpful. Service: Faucet repair
