"My thermostat had lost connection. The technician ( Adnan) arrived and was professional and courteous. He diagnosed the issue , which was a faulty condensation pump. He did a great job getting our heat up and running again. I would recommend Sila to anyone. Thank you SILA & Adnan !"

"The process was slow initially as I had to interview several HVAC before finding 3 who were willing to do the work. One was priced much too high and I didn't like the initial proposal of the placement of lines. Another contractor didn't fill me with confidence and they are part of a company that split off with different franchises (I believe). NETR's contact person, Russell, who evaluated the project was open to the idea as well as followed up with technical advice as this was a nonconforming application. After several reviews by NETR personnel and outside engineers to make sure there was enough airflow for the compressor, where and how to run the lines inside the loft; I had my carpenter build an aluminum box which took time as it was custom-ordered of sheets to be build on premises. After it was setup, NETR took over, evaluated the box, re-reviewed the plans, and subsequently sent 2 very competent techies. The job took 3 1/2 days which was fine with me. The last day a 3rd technician replaced one who had to go over to another job. They were polite and answered any questions I had. They left the place in clean condition. The system lines looks very nicely put together, works beautifully, cools the condo very nicely (remember 23 5' high windows w/plenty of solar gain). They subcontracted an experienced electrician who's expert workmanship convinced me that I will use him for future work. Terrific company who's customer service is conscientious and with good follow-through. Their abilities and experience revealed themselves in this application and I'm very grateful that they wanted to try out this nonconforming application as the only options left to me were window ACs which I find unsatisfactory, and in the bedroom impossible to sleep with while on.

"It went very well! Dylan was knowledgeable about removing our old oil burner that had died, and installing the new heat pump unit! The work was done in a timely fashion and he removed the old heater and cleaned up everything from the new install. He also followed up after a few days to make sure everything was okay, which it was. I would recommend Venture Mechanical to anyone of my friends, and will use them in the future for routine servicing on the system and for any other HVAC needs I may have!"

"We've used Atlantic Heating and Air Conditioning for over 10 years for regular air conditioning maintenance/service and repairs. They also do service/repairs for our heating system. Recently, they provided valuable advice that allowed us to fix a thermostat malfunction on our own, saving us cost of a visit. We've always been satisfied with this company - visits were easy to schedule, staff were knowledgeable, work performed was well done."

"Green Energy have a fair price, and both their office and field staff have great customer service. The installer went over everything and answered all of my questions. They made sure the system was properly flushed and stayed late to make sure it was. They also explained the thermostat ins and outs. So far so good - I would recommend"

"My 30 year old boiler, with much fanfare chose to conk out, leaving me without heat as an impending snow storm was in the forecast. After getting outrageous quotes from another HVACs for a new boiler, I lucked out in finding Pro Heating. When Sean learned I was without heat, he gathered his A team and within a couple of days (other companies were saying it would be weeks)installed a high efficiency boiler that was less costly and is far superior to the less efficient boilers that the other companies quoted. Sean and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Pro Heating and Cooling, and have done so already to friends and family!"

"The house we purchased had its original electric baseboard heaters from 1971 and no A/C. Ross installed a natural gas forced hot air furnace and central air conditioning, including ductwork throughout the house. Our heating costs for the winter before this work were over $7K, and for the year after the work were less than $2K! Unlike most contractors, he showed up when he said he was going to did the work in a timely manner. We've been using the system for over a year now and have had no issues. And, his price was about 1/2 of the next best bid! I have already recommended him to someone else."

"I typically get several estimates before any major expense. I do this to gather information as well as compare price and the people behind the websites. Two other companies were recommended to me by friends. Accurate was my third estimate. My previous furnace was installed by Accurate and serviced by Accurate so I was going to check with them before buying a new furnace. Accurate even showed up first thing one winter morning when the furnace didn't turn on. 



Each estimate said something a little different about which furnace to buy and how it should be installed. Derek from Accurate showed up on time and appeared to know the product and the installation requirements - including the expectations of the local building inspector. The building inspector has to approve the installation when it is finished. I honestly don't know if I chose the right furnace by purchasing a TRANE. I didn't want the most expensive model and I wasn't pressured to buy it. I did buy the pricey air  filter since a family member has allergies. 



The installation process went very smoothly. The man who spent all day doing the installation was low-key, friendly, and appeared to be doing a careful job. E.g., he didn't talk on his cell or blare a radio. Accurate arranged for the plumber to do the gas line hook up and the electrician to connect the new furnace and install a CO2 alarm. The plumber returned at a later date to show the finished job to the building inspector.



 It took a lot of time to learn about the new high efficiency furnaces, talk to friends about how they managed home heating issues, and then meet with contractors. Since it's such an expensive and long-term purchase, it's a tough decision. I decided to stay with Accurate based on past experience and I think it was the right call.

"My family was doing research to replace our 15-year-old gas heating system.. We surveyed three companies and decided to hire All Phase. This company did an assessment of the problem, explained all the options, and brought the area up to code. The communication was clear and concise making the installation was organized and efficient. After the job was completed Carl kindly registered the product for us. The newly installed system is working at full capacity. We are very satisfied with the whole experience."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Elmwood, 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.
