"They were prompt and efficient, from the initial repair-person, to the 'comfort advisor' to the installers, as my system was ~ 20 years old, I replaced both furnace and AC."

"I had another provider servicing my furnace, but after my home warranty sent KS Kamara Heating and Air to diagnos my problem, I learned that the previous provider was not doing what was necessary. KS Kamara Heating & Air, diganosed the problem, show me why I was having the problem, took care of the problem and now my system is running as it should. I then hired KS Kamara Heating and Air on the spot. I was amazed at what was found when he serviced my unit. I look forward to a continue business relationship with this company. May thanks to KS Kamara Heating and Air."

"Rhett came out and did a thorough evaluation of all components of our heat pumps. He found wiring that had been connected incorrectly, as well as wiring that was never connected, which was causing our heat to blow cold air (thus defeating the purpose of having the heat on!) He rewired two of the units and added Freon to one that was low, and the heat has been working perfectly since. Rhett is easy to reach, honest, personable, thorough, and makes sure you understand what is going on and the work he is going to do to fix the problem. His pricing is fair, and he gets the job done right."

"I would absolutely recommend Cool Comfort Heating & Air Company. I have dual systems installed by them in my home. They replaced one of them in the spring last year. They are the only ones I use. I would continue to use them in the future."

"Reagan and his team arrive at the house right on time. Had the old HVAC system out and the new system installed and running within a reasonable time. His crew were very friendly and answered all my husbands questions to his satisfaction. They cleaned up and took the old system away. I would highly recommend Subnet Zero to anyone looking for a first rate Heat and Air company."
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.
