J&R Mechanical Services is a heating, cooling and plumbing company based in Augusta that serves Augusta, Brunswick and 18 nearby Maine towns, according to its website. The company, registered as J&R Mechanical Systems LLC, says the same crew that repairs or installs HVAC equipment also handles the plumbing tied to that work, so gas piping, condensate lines and water heater hookups do not require a second contractor.
One Crew for Every Heating System
The company's website says it works on all three types of heating systems found in Maine homes: heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, forced-air furnaces, and hydronic boilers that serve baseboard, radiator and radiant-floor heat. It installs and repairs cold-climate heat pumps, services furnaces for ducted homes, and handles boiler repair, annual cleanings and installation for oil, propane and natural gas systems, according to its website. The company also installs central and ductless air conditioning, and its website says it often recommends a heat pump that can both cool a home in summer and heat it in winter.
Plumbing Alongside HVAC
Beyond heating and cooling, the company's website lists plumbing services including leak detection and repair, fixture installation, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, new construction plumbing, and installation of tank and tankless water heaters. The website says the company diagnoses the cause of a problem and quotes the repair before starting work, and tells customers directly when replacing a system makes more sense than continuing to repair it.
Guides for Maine Homeowners
J&R's website also publishes a homeowner's guide comparing the cost of heating a Maine home with oil, propane, natural gas, electric baseboard and heat pumps, using fuel-price figures from the Maine Governor's Energy Office and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The guide walks through how to read AFUE, SEER2, HSPF2 and COP ratings on heating and cooling equipment, and describes how a hybrid setup pairs a heat pump with an existing boiler or furnace as backup during the coldest stretches, according to the website. The company lists (207) 902-8899 as its phone number.
