"Very prompt, knowledgeable, and professional individual. Shawn was the most thorough of all potential contractors in reviewing my replacement boiler situation, and was able to convince me that I did not need a larger boiler recommended by another contractor. He arrived and completed the job as scheduled, and his work was excellent. The piping is neatly arranged and marked should I need to isolate a heating zone, and he took the time to explain all fluid flows for the heating system. I could not be happier with using Shawn for the installation of a replacement oil burner and hot water tank."

"I just hired them this week, so they haven’t started yet. They are doing it the way “This Old House,” does it (knee wall) and the price is very fair considering another estimate, wasn’t adding any foam board over the batts. I chose 5 star reviews and “up to code,” insulation pro."

"Good workmanship and professional service. If they could do the same job for half the price, they'd easily earn 5 stars from me. pricing felt quite high for the scope of the job"
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.
