"Things went very well. The sales process involved a home visit, discussion afterwards, and follow up by e-mail messages to determine what I needed in general, what I wanted in detail, the price, and understanding about rebates. Everything was clear, up front, and complete (for example, no additional costs showed up later). Airco was patient with me and spoke at my level. Their schedule was busy and there were a couple of misses before the installation date was agreed to. It was met without being changed by them. The installer was professional and courteous and put up well with my questions. The installation was done well in the proscribed time. Old stuff was carted away and clean up was done before departure. The air conditioner and new thermostat have worked well. It has been too warm to give the furnace a significant shake down. Airco did their paperwork for rebates and supplied me with the information I needed in a timely manner. There were a few misses scheduling the QIV test, but it was done at the agreed upon time and date. Again, in a very satisfactory fashion. My overall impression is of good, honest people.

"I called Unique Indoor Comfort to take a look at it at on a Sunday afternoon. They sent Steve M out to take a look at it. He was very friendly and patiently listened to my concerns and answered my questions. He systematically checked various components and found some debris stuck in the pipe connected to the inducer motor. He removed the debris and that seemed to fix the problem and said that this would get me through the night, at the least. As a recommendation, he said it would be best if I replaced a part that is slowly falling apart. He would check with the manufacturer and call me the next day. The cost for the emergency call and check up was $150. Pretty reasonable to me. The next day, Steve M called me and said my furnace only had a 5 year parts warranty, so I would be on the hook for paying for the part. He advised me not to spend the $850 for the part right now, but instead do a complete maintenance and cleanup for $168. I took Steve M's advice. The next day, Steve C (another Steve at the same company) came out to do a complete clean up and check up on my furnace. He found bits of PVC pipe burnt up in the heat exchanger and removed them. Steve C seemed to do a very thorough job. He also took the time to answer my questions I will be using Unique Indoor Comfort in the future to do maintenance check ups. I had used another company a few years prior, but they didn't seem nearly as thorough."

"We've used Atlantic Heating & AC for many years and wouldn't consider any other company. Atlantic is extremely responsive, priced reasonably, and they always do a great job. We've never once had to call them back to resolve any issues associated with their work, and they've done a lot of work over for us over the last 9 years. Recently, our water heater died very suddenly; I came home from my office and water was leaking out of the water heater onto the basement floor. Within minutes, their service manager was guiding me over the phone regarding which valves to turn off etc. and he had me take a few pics to send to him. The very next day, a serviceman was at our house installing a brand new, much better water heater than the house had come with, and we haven't had an issue yet, and this was several months ago. I'm a Realtor and Atlantic has bailed my seller clients out of HVAC issues on a moment's notice, so I will always be grateful for the excellent sales and service that we receive thanks to Atlantic Heating and AC."

"The service tech was great, professional, knowledgeable and punctual. The system is running fine now. I was very satisfied the his performance then I signed up for an annual maintenance contract. for about $200.00. He said the contract would be emailed along with my receipt by email. I got the receipt but no contract. I sent an email asking for the contract and I have received nothing after over a week."

"Paul found the most suitable system for our smallish cottage house, and he and Daniel were invaluable in explaining how a modern thermostat works to get the right settings. Once the purchase was made, the company quickly installed the heat pump. The company also helps with the rebate forms. During the recent cold nights, the heat pump has worked flawlessly. We are very satisfied with the product."

"Fantastic service that I would absolutely recommend. The hot water heater I needed was installed the same day and for less than half of what I was quoted from a different company. Every step of the process was clearly explained and Steve could not have been more polite and helpful."

"I discovered Invicta HVAC on the mass save website. From the first contact, they were communicative and very attentive to my project. Extremely perfectionists did a beautiful job. I used to have an oil furnace as the only heat source and now we have a brand new heat pump with electric backup heat. Everything working fine. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to everyone. thank you Guys!!"

"My central AC unit has been broken for several years. intermittently working during hot summers. I've had several HVAC companies come to diagnose and all of them told me different things: replace the whole system, new lines, etc. potentially costing tens of thousands of dollars. So I decided to troubleshoot by myself and pinpointed the issue: the filter dryer needed to be replaced. No company wanted to do this small job. I called Emerald HVAC and told them about my issue, they sent in José, who diagnosed the issue to be what I said. He replaced the filter dryer and the AC unit works perfectly now after several years! In short, Emerald HVAC will be my first choice for any HVAC work in the future. They are honest, professional, and reasonably priced. I recommend them without reservation!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Charlestown, MA

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.
