"Highly recommended. I hired Bruce to replace my ancient heating system, and he and his crew did the job with great care, skill, and professionalism. From my first contact with him, Bruce was patient, knowledgeable, and eager to make sure all my questions and concerns were answered and addressed. He and his crew were kind, considerate, and safe. I would have no hesitation about hiring Williams & Associates again, their services are outstanding."

"The Fellowship Team recently installed a new boiler system for me and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Replacing a primary heating system is a major investment, but this team made the entire process stress-free. The installation was incredibly clean. The technicians routed the new piping with surgical precision, ensuring everything was tidy, secure, and easy to access for future maintenance. Since the install, my home reaches the target temperature much faster than before, and the unit runs so quietly I barely notice it?s on. I?m already seeing the benefits in my lower monthly energy bills. The crew arrived on schedule, was sure to not damage anything, and clearly explained how to use the new digital thermostat before they left. They treated my home with genuine respect. It is rare to see this level of dedication to quality. If you need a reliable, high-performing heating system installed by pros who actually care about the details, look no further. Highly recommended"

"CJ's Plumbing a great bunch of people to work with. From quoting to removal of old to installation of new furnace. Kept me informed of what was happening, answered my questions along the way. By far the best price compared to competitors, and I did a lot of quoting. I would recommend CJ's to everyone. Also I would like to say the Town building inspector/plumbing inspector said to wife that CJ's did a nice job and approved the install in minutes. I would use these guys again."

"Good quality workmanship, responsive and conscientious."
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.
