"Ace Stove and Home Service was the second company I had come to my home to figure out what was wrong with my gas fireplace. The first company had no clue and failed to return any of my calls after the visit. Ace was able to get the fireplace working properly, installed a fan, and repainted the metal face. The workman was punctual, extremely polite and very professional. I will absolutely use this company in the future and will recommend them to family and friends.

"Mr. Ferrell came to my home and picked up my dinosaur of a computer...a 2005 Dell Desktop. For all intents and purposes, it was barely running. If I was lucky, I was able to check my gmail and sometimes send a response. Mr. Ferrell picked up my computer on his DAY OFF (Friday) and returned it to me on LABOR DAY. He said that my computer had over 7,000 viruses on it. It was the most he had ever seen! What I got back from him on Labor Day was the computer I purchased in 2005, but much better.
Mr. Ferrell installed an ENTIRE new operating system, he upgraded my ram, he re-installed his FREE virus protection. Mr. Ferrell backed and restored ALL of my data. And, if that was not enough, he updated my hardware system. And, he charged me $125 which I think is an incredible price due to the fact he gave me a BRAND NEW COMPUTER.
Mr. Ferrell is extremely professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient with his time and your money. I just started using my new computer this week and I am in heaven. No more viruses...no more waiting 10 minutes to pull up a website...and no more having to pull out all of my cords out of my modem and rebooting my computer. I am thrilled with the job that Mr. Ferrell did and I would recommend him to anyone.

"This gentleman was prompt, professional, experienced, efficient, highly skilled and economical. I am able to use and adjust the blower in my gas fireplace for the first time. Plus the unit now looks brand new. I hope he will return to address thermostat issues in my kitchen and bathroom floor heating. Would certainly recommend him to any homeowner."

"Acacia and I can most definitely recommend Joe Arnold. He has done all kinds of work for us and for many others who have asked me for referrals: landscape designing and building, irrigation systems, fencing, roof repairs, plumbing, electrical work, dry wall, installing fixtures, painting, washer and dryer repairs, door installation and refinishing, etc., etc, etc. He is immensely knowledgeable, extremely creative when looking for fixes to problems, easy to work with, and easy to reach and communicate with. As anyone who has had contractors work on their homes can testify, the importance of this last item about being able to reach and communicate with your contractor cannot be underestimated. Here is an example of the kind of work Joe does and the kind of man he is. A friend of ours had started a major bathroom remodeling project. As so so often happens, months into the project, thousands of dollars invested, and major demolition work done, my friend's contractor abandoned her, disappeared without a trace, leaving her for several months without a bathroom. I referred her to Joe Arnold. Giving her exactly what she wanted, Joe finished the job in two weeks and for thousands less than the original contractor wanted. That's Joe. And speaking of having saved this friend money, Joe's fees were always very fair in cost. More than fair. On this last point, beyond the type of savings he generated for one neighbor, several other neighbors to whom I have referred Joe have actually paid him more than his estimate because they felt he was charging them TOO LITTLE. What more can I say than that?"

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.
