Knowles Mechanical Adds Solar Contracting to Its HVAC Business

Four service lines under one roof

Knowles Mechanical, a family-owned HVAC and plumbing company serving Central and Southern Maine, says on its website that it has added a fourth line of business: a solar contracting division that designs and installs rooftop solar arrays, ground-mount systems and battery storage for commercial customers. Its core work remains furnace installation and repair, heat pump repair, air conditioner repair and ductless mini-split systems, alongside a licensed plumbing team handling fixture installation, leak detection and water heater work for both tank and tankless units.

Built around being reachable at any hour

The company advertises 24/7 emergency service, with a separate phone extension listed specifically for after-hours emergency calls, and says every technician on staff carries a license, insurance coverage and training on the equipment currently in use. Knowles Mechanical says it installs equipment from brands including Trane, American Standard, York and Mitsubishi, and offers financing along with Efficiency Maine rebates to help customers afford upgrades. The company also says it gives detailed estimates before starting any job, so a customer knows the cost up front rather than after the work is done.

Serving a corridor from Augusta to Portland

The company says it works from Augusta to Portland and from Bangor to Bath, naming Waterville, Lewiston, Brunswick, Windham and Auburn among the towns it covers, and tells customers who do not see their town listed to call anyway because it likely serves their area too. Knowles Mechanical's website also lists open positions for tradespeople, saying the company continues to grow its team as demand for its heating, cooling, plumbing and solar work expands across the region.
