"From start to finish, Tim and his team did an excellent job. They installed a new natural gas furnace and air conditioning system. Their knowledge, expertise, and customer service sets them far above their competition. Do not hesitate to use North Pittsburgh Heating Company, simply put, they are the very best at what they do."

"I feared needing an entire new furnace, but tech replaced capacitor quickly and furnace worked all winter without problems. No additional cost for coming on a Saturday. Only regret was not calling Friday evening when the problem started. Called Saturday morning and problem solved by early afternoon."

"Professional, reliable and just all around great company. Installed a full duct system, furnace and AC at an investment property of mine this year. Their quality of work speaks for itself.

"Sean is the best!!! He was on time, very professional and great prices. Sean went above and beyond with my a/c and have installation. Prior to installation of heating and a/c he had replaced some vents and a rusted piece of pipe in my basement. Sean is very conscientious about his work and leaves the place very neat. I highly reccomend Temp-Rite Heating for your next service or replacement of HVAC & A/C"

"I recently purchased a historic Pittsburgh home with an entirely shot radiant heating system. The boiler was shot and the previous owner had let the pipes freeze, so all but one of the radiators were busted and needed replaced. I had 3 estimates for repair. Of the three, only Home Mechanix were willing to objectively tackle the difficult job and make a reasonable quote. The other two encouraged me to can the radiant system. One even requested $40k just to get functional heat again.... Home Mechanix got an entirely new system up and running for a fraction of that cost. Matt worked with me to make important decisions such as which type of heat to use, which boiler to install, which kind of radiators I would want (added a Euro style towel radiator in the bathroom), and they even found me 7 used radiators to install. The heat works very well and the system I was recommended is top notch and has many extra features and new technology "little touches" from Home Mechanix to make it efficient and durable. They are also Nest Pros, so my built-in 1903 Pittsburgh home now has smart thermostat capabilities. I would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could. The attention to detail, customer service and overall value of this job made a big investment decision a lot easier, and I now know I have a heating and cooling team I can trust for as long as I live in Pittsburgh."

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.
