"I contacted Extreme Plumbing and Heating, Corp. from Home Advisor. Within minutes of requesting a quote Wayne called me. I explained to Wayne my plumbing issue. I previously made a short 6 second video of the leaky pipe on my cell phone. Wayne viewed the video and called back. Wayne promised me he would send someone out the next morning. He gave me a quote of what it would cost. The next morning Friday, November 22, 2019 Lamar from Extreme Plumbing and Heating. Corp. called me and said he was within ten minutes of my home. I told Lamar that there was someone over the age of 18 at home and that he could come over. Lamar performed the repair within a short amount of time. My Family member sent me a short video of the completed work. I called Wayne just to confirm the final price. The price was the same price that was quoted the previous day. The Job was completed in a timely fashion, the quality of the job was excellent. I called Wayne to thank him for a job well done."

"Everyone was great and I love my new system! My neighbor had one installed, too"
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.
