"Horizon came right on time on July 4 to install a much needed heating/cooling system. The installers were wonderful! Polite, friendly and worked very hard in that awful heat. They completed the installation by 4:00, which included cleanup and instructions on my new thermostat. The price was a little more than I initially wanted to pay, but the service and the system work great. The only negative is that when the compressor kick on, itâ s rather loud. A service man came out and said that is â normalâ ."

"Highly recommended. They repaired many corroding joints in my plumbing system and ran plastic lines to and installed 4 toilets I supplied. They did a great job, were friendly and very easy to deal with. They gave me an estimate on the job I wanted to have done without trying to sell me other products or services. The whole job was done in a morning. I expected it to take longer. They are very reasonable and I will definitely use them again when I need plumbing work done."

"We contacted Pure Air for emergency furnace/boiler repair in our home and we ended up having to replace the unit. They recommended a combination hot water heater/boiler unit and we decided that was the way to go. The work was done very well, and all of the folks from the company were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The installation took a little longer than expected, so they even came back on a Saturday to finish the job. I had a couple of questions after and sent an email and they responded right away even though it was a Sunday. We're so pleased with the new system and the work that the Pure Air team did, that we will use them for all of our HVAC needs and will happily recommend them to others."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Elk Mills, MD

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.
