"The installation was seamless and they recently came out on a service call and patiently and clearly explained how to maintain the heat pump to me (I have zero mechanical knowledge and I understood the instructions very well). The recommended efficient heat pump is great for our house! I am impressed and would recommend them to everyone!"

"Another contractor had not been able to fix our heat pump after 4 visits in 2 months. Climate Mechanical diagnosed the correct problem on the first visit and came back with correct part and got everything working. It is great to have heat again after waiting so long on the other contractor. I highly recommend. Wish we had gone with Climate Mechanical first."

"I feel like it was more of a sales call than anything, they said I needed a new system, but I am not sure they diagnosed why the strip heat is coming on more frequently, so its working and I wish they could have checked freon levels etc, rather than try to quote me a price on an inefficient new one,"

"The tech arrived early and diagnosed the problem quickly, a bad heating element. We confirmed the repair cost, he left and obtained the new part and returned quickly. He completed the repair and cleaned up. He was friendly and courteous and we are satisfied with the work performed. I would hire him again and would recommend him to others."

"The team was great. Andy was very responsive and helpful in choosing the right HVAC equipment for my house. The install team worked diligently and even stayed late to finish the project in one day. Though the furnace, heat pump, and nee thermostat project wasn’t cheap, I feel good about hiring this 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.
