"I had an outstanding experience with Gibson Heating and Air. After making arrangements with the very helpful office manager (Krista), Shane came out very quickly for a consultation and helped me decide on a new heat pump model. The estimate was more than fair. This was a big job...remove old heat pump, installed new heat pump, removed old ductwork and installed new. ..topped off with a new programmable thermostat. Shane made improvements that I had not considered, he definitely had my best interest in mind. I really appreciate the care they took to clean all the debris from the area. as well as the professional service. I highly recommend Gibson."

"John and Zack from Bama Air Systems were personable and professional as they replaced our old mini split system with a quality mini split. The four other companies that came out before Bama didn't have a clue on what to do. Thanks Bama Air!"

"I have used them multiple times and this year the prices were much higher than I have ever spent for the same service. They charged $228 to re-fill 1lb of coolant. You can buy R410 for around $6/lb in 25lb quantities. That's a 3700% markup! Even if it took the guy an hour to fill the coolant (and it was a lot closer to 10 minutes), that's still astronomical. For the 2nd pound of coolant, they only charged 129.64, reducing the markup to 2000%. How kind of them?! What's worse is that I tried to get them to commit to their coolant pricing on the phone and they wouldn't. Instead, the tell you once you have them there and would have to pay for another service charge to bring an alternative provider out to your house. They offer a reasonable price to inspect your system, but then grossly over-charge to address anything they find. It's the oldest trick in the book. Don't fall for it. I had used them twice before this time and trusted that their pricing would be fair. I was wrong and based on my experience, I can't recommend them to anyone else. You'll likely save money going with the other many reputable people in our area. Almost $500 to spend about an hour to inspect 1 AC system and add 2LBs of coolant that costs $6/lb. Ouch!"

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.
