"It went well, he showed up on time and was professional. He tried to sell me on getting a whole new furnace, which is why I didn't give him an overall A rating."

"We hired Joe's Plumbing to repair a leak in our heating system and we were very pleased. Although there was a small problem with the initial repair, Joe responded immediately to our call and fixed the problem. He was punctual, courteous, tidy and later telephoned us to make sure the issue was completely resolved. We highly recommend him."

"They did a great job removing my old oil furnace and installed a a new propane furnace and heat pump. They were on time, efficient and reasonably priced. I plan to use them for future work and would easily recommend Archibald Heating and Air Conditioning."

"Owner of the business (Frank) was terrific. He took time out of his day to call me and discuss the issue I was experiencing with my AC. He was very patient in working with a third party insurance company. He had one of his repair men at my home 18 hours later. The tech was top notch, he had great knowledge of the system and all of the components associated with it. Knew what the issue was within 5 minutes and quickly repaired. Definitely one of the best AC repair experiences I've ever had."

"I am a fan. Just met James today but we'll bring all of our HVAC work to him going forward. He probably could have sold me a brand new air conditioner today but told me I didn't need it. Other companies maybe not so honest in my experience. I highly recommend you work with this company over any other HVAC company. Thanks James."

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.
