"The problem was quickly diagnosed, a replacement part was in the truck, system fixed for a reasonable cost. As part of the service the two systems, one for each floor, were checked out and found in good working order. I would certainly use this company again."

"We chose Honest and Fair Heating and Air after meeting with George (the owner) for a quote to replace our 20 year old HVAC system. He was engaging, knowledgeable and full of info, down to earth and completely relatable in a manner I was drawn to. We chose to transition over to a heat pump cooling system, from a single stage ac and an electric furnace from gas, based on his input. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! He and his assistant Eric arrived early and went right to work. They were thoughtful, careful, patient and answered any questions we had. The end result is a beautiful new furnace install and a near silent heat pump cooling unit and we are delighted! His pricing was so reasonable it was a no brainer for me. If its time to replace your HVAC system, I cannot recommend Honest and Fair Heating and Air enough! Give George a call and you will see what I mean! Thanks again George and Eric!"

"They installed central heating and air in our home in 2025. They were efficient, did a excellent clean up, and friendly. They checked in a week after to make sure we were satisfied with the system and if we had any questions. We are extremely satisfied with the new system. The controls are easy to work and the system is very quiet and efficient."

"We recently had our Central A/C installed, and the whole experience was fantastic. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and finished the installation faster than expected. The system works perfectly, and our home feels so much more comfortable now. We later used them for a water heater replacement as well, and the quality of work was just as impressive!"

"The experience was fantastic! I never thought I'd say that about a furnace installation but the 2 servicemen Dmitry and his colleague made me feel very comfortable with all the proceedings. The last time I had to replace my central air system was different. The gentlemen doing the job were dismissive of my requests and ended up setting it up wrong having to return several times to finish. Nothing like that with RK Mechanical, super smooth sailing."

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.
