"Hercules Handyman Services did a great job installing the oven/stove. Lano did a great job in handling the problem from beginning to end. He immediately returned my phone call, contacted the tenant, investigated the problem, followed up with me (giving me the options to move forward), disposed of the old oven/stove and installed the replacement. I contacted the tenant, and they were happy with Lano's work. Lano was efficient and the cost was reasonable for the service provided. I will use Hercules in the future as they provide excellent customer service."

"I bought my home 6 years ago and from the beginning I used Cencal as my HVAC maintenance and repair company. Ignacio and the boys have always been very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I recently had a new system put in my home, the other was over 15 years old and on its last leg. Brandon came and explained everything and answered all my questions. As this was my first high priced purchase for my home, he made everything easier. Jason also was there to answer any questions I had. I cant say enough about the girls in the office, to Jason and Brandon and the guys in the field. they have always made me feel like part of their family. For the new system, they not only were on time, but they also finished the job in less time than they/we expected. They are very responsive to my emails, calls and questions. I would absolutely recommend Cencal to any and everyone looking for amazing service, affordable prices and awesome employees!!"

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.
