"We found SmartHouse almost by accident while looking for solutions to what turned out to be botched previous AC installation by a much bigger and more established company who we had trusted to do a decent job. Instead we ended up with a system that wouldn't cool the house. Smarthouse first correctly diagnosed the problem, then fixed it, and advised us on how best to heat and cool our 100+ old house. We now have a service contract with them for regular maintenance and they recently installed a mini-split for us. Their techs are great. Just the sort of people we would feel comfortable leaving alone in the house to finish a job if necessary."

"Dyer was tumbling but was not heating up. Technician found the hi-limit thermostat tripped and he reset it and it worked while he was here but tripped again after one load the next day. They ordered a hi-limit switch after I called and installed it as soon as they received it. They applied some of the cost of the first visit to the second. Overall they did a very good job. Cost seemed reasonable. Prompt service after I called, within a couple of days. They do work on the weekends but when I called they did have a 3-4 day back log for the Bosch technician. I would use them again and recommend them to others."

"I was having an issue with my AC unit, called Hively heating and cooling after reading great reviews on Thumbtack. John got back to me within the hour and came to my home that evening to try to repair a very old unit. I chose a whole new system and it was installed two nights later. I would highly recommend, John was extremely professional as was his crew, He kept me well informed every step of the way. Great job!!"

"We have used this company for both rental and owner-occupied properties. They replaced the roof, gutters, and worked with the company to make sure that our awnings and other items were replaced. They also worked very well with our insurance company and we had no problems at all. Jacob made everything so easy that if we ever need anything else done and they can do it, they have 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.
