"Working with Crain Heating and Cooling was a great experience. My furnace stopped working and I got a quote from a different company that seemed high. I had Crain provide me a quote for a new furnace and it significantly under the first quote. The sales rep lent me two space heaters to run over the weekend to ensure my pipes did not freeze. Later that day the front office called to confirm the appointment and the asked if I had a place to stay that was warm, I really appreciated the concern. When the crew came to install the furnace they were very professional and explained exactly what they would do. They even ran the new wire for my new thermostat. At the end of the appointment they cleaned up and the furnace space was cleaner after they left than before they started. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get a new furnace."

"Jon installed the entire HVAC system (duct work, air conditioner, furnace, humidifier and water heater) in my newly renovated house. Everything was installed on time and works great. He also installed an air conditioner for my mom years ago and continues to provide excellent service. Great work at a fair price."
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.
