"very well. Instead of replacing a 15 year old furnace with these problems the tech recommended to fix it, and it seems to be doing well."

"A technician came out to service and diagnose the problem and fixed a few other minor issues. Another technician came out to replace the motor and a few other parts within a week (we still had heat and we chose to schedule it this way). The technicians were prompt, polite and professional. Everything is much quieter in our house now. Very satisfied."

"They were quick, through, did a great job and cleaned up well. They even we above and beyond to make sure to correct prior mistakes from the last person to make sure it was set up the proper way. They even made sure that they got me scheduled quick and that I was going to be ok with alternative heat sources."

"I'm not really a review guy but....Bane Martinov and his associates are just amazing. I needed a new high velocity AC system installed. After numerous meetings, we went with a heat pump.. This was not a normal install as it is fairly complex process. The job was completed in two days with Bane overseeing a great deal of it. His workers were hard working, and professional. I highly recommend this company."

"Our heater went out end of this past winter and then our AC went out beginning of summer. Talk about a double shot in the foot.z I worked with Darren (sales) to find out what we would need. He was very professional and not pushy about any specific brand or item. I told him what budget we wanted to stay in and he was right on the money with his quote. He was very thorough with explaining what he suggested and showing how to get heat & AC to work as needed. Ethan and Brad were the installers that came out to do the work. They were absolutely amazing! Extremely professional, very knowledgeable about the product and install requirement, they laid down a covering over the floor so as not to cause any damage. Since we had to have both AC and heating done it took more time than usual but they had no problem coming out 2 days. I can t say enough how happy we are that we hired Schar Heating & Cooling!!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Akron, OH

Converting from an oil furnace to an electric furnace isn't a simple swap—the oil system needs to be completely removed before installing the electric furnace. You'll need a full electric system installation, but you might be able to reuse existing ductwork if it's up to current safety standards. You’ll need to budget for a new electric furnace installation, which costs between $1,800 and $6,200, including professional removal, proper disposal, and safe installation of the new system.

Electric furnaces are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat. However, some of that heat can be lost as it travels through your home's ductwork or escapes through poorly insulated areas. That's why regular duct maintenance and proper home insulation are important to maximize your furnace's efficiency and reduce heat loss, ensuring consistent warmth and lower energy costs.

With proper maintenance, an electric furnace can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, outlasting the average gas furnace's lifespan of 15 to 20 years. To keep your electric furnace running efficiently, schedule regular cleanings, tighten connections, and have inspections done before winter arrives. With routine maintenance, you’ll ensure consistent, safe heating for years to come.

The size of the electric furnace you need depends on factors like your home's square footage, climate, and insulation quality. As a general guideline, those who live in warmer climates should multiply their square footage by 30 to 35 BTUs, while those in cooler areas should multiply it by 50 to 60 BTUs.

Consulting with an HVAC professional can help you determine the exact size that's right for your home.

An electric furnace works by converting electricity into heat using high-resistance heating elements. A blower then pushes the warm air through your home's ductwork, distributing heat evenly throughout your space. Since there's no combustion involved, electric furnaces eliminate the risks associated with gas furnaces and provide consistent, reliable heating when properly installed.

An electric furnace uses between 40 and 80 kilowatts per day to heat your home. The exact amount it uses depends on factors like your home's size, insulation, and overall energy requirements. Larger homes or those with poor insulation use more energy than smaller, well-insulated spaces. A professional furnace assessment can help confirm the ideal unit size for your needs.
