"Palmer Gas & Oil just did an entire replacement of the 20-year-old central HVAC + humidifier + thermostats two-zone system in my home with a new state-of-the-art total system and I could not be more pleased. From start to finish each employee was personable, extremely knowledgeable, very courteous, and the consummate professional. There is truth to the adage that you get what you pay for and I know I got the best. All Gold Stars!"

"Very good communication. Had multiple long conversations with lots of questions and answers. Felt fully informed. Installation of furnace accomplished earlier than expected. Still a bit too early to see if furnace is performing flawlessly, but so far all looks good."

"We helped one of our clients with their CAD designs on their new home and worked with Downeast Electrical to help the client with management of the electrical plan, rough in, and wiring for all the new electric the home needed. Being a new home, a EV charger was also top priority and they were able to get everything they needed for it and install it quickly, without the headache of having to wait around for parts. They were extremely professional from the customer service side to the skillset of the electricians, and clearly very experienced. There were many times in the process that showed how they are able to solve and manage problems that came up that both we and the client appreciated. One of their master electricians has been working for over 20 years in the trade and it is apparent he knows the ins and outs of electrical work by how he approaches a problem. We hope to work with them again, they were easy to coordinate with, everyone was very happy with the end results."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Alfred, ME

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.
