"I had a great experience with Kelly's A/C. They installed blown-in insulation in my home, and the difference was noticeable right away—my house feels more comfortable, and I’m already seeing an improvement in energy efficiency. The team was professional, on time, and kept everything clean throughout the process. They took the time to explain the work and answer all my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing insulation or HVAC services!"

"This company installed my ac system new about 5 years ago. Eduardo Leon, technician, came on service call to clean and adjust the furnace. He did an excellent job of adjusting the settings so that the heat is less intense. I will recommend this company and their excellent technicians and installers as among the best in the Houston, Texas area. They have never disappointed me."

"HVAC system went out and needed a new one on short notice. Team Enoch responded the same day and were out 2 days later to replace the HVAC system. Installation was done meticulously and with great care and the price was very fair. We paid about $6000 for a 4 ton American Standard (aka Trane) system. The first company that quoted me estimated $8900 for the exact same system and undoubtedly lower quality of work (Abundant Air Condition and Heating). Miles was my point of contact and did not try to push a sale and encouraged me to do some research for myself. Overall great experience, will definitely call again if anything else comes up with my electrical/plumbing. *This review was migrated from an affiliated account on Angi with an original submission date of 7/27/2019."

"Outstanding on all counts! Great service by extremely knowledgeable and professional business owner. Todd has not only completed the job on time and within the estimate, but has also followed up in all my questions and concerns following the completion of the project. My 4th story temperature dropped from 84F to 69F (my son likes it cold) overnight after all the ducts and vents were cleaned and AC filter changed. THANK YOU TODD!"

"Fantastic. Noticed when I got home from work one evening that the first story of my home was not cool. AC had been on all day, but air temp was 78 degrees. I called Cooling Technicians and Adam came to diagnose the problem the next morning. His troubleshooting was very thorough and the problem was quickly isolated to a faulty compressor. I received a fair quote for the parts and labor, gave the okay, and they were ordered and installed. That was a few weeks ago and I’ve enjoyed ice cold air since and have experienced no problems with the new unit. Adam really knows his stuff and does great work and a quality install. Cooling Technicians installed and upgraded HVAC at two of my office buildings over the past few years and the systems have worked flawlessly. Thanks Adam and the Cooling Technicians team."

"I am a caregiver for my disabled husband and when my ac went out it was very scary because he can't handle the heat. USAC resolved my ac in the middle of the night knowing it was an emergency and still have me a better deal then my own family in the industry would. I highly recommend them and will always be grateful for the professional service and the compassion I was shown. I will be letting my neighbors friends and family know who to call with any and all HVAC needs."

"We had two water heaters replaced with a high capacity tankless water heater. From the start our sales representative was top notch answered all of our questions and was absolutely correct about all the specifications relative to our needs. The plumbers, electrician and venting specialist were prompt, absolutely professional very experienced and fast. The temperature in the attic was about 140à  à  à  à ° so very tough work but these guys were great. I canà  à ¢à  à  à  à  t think of one negative aspect to the entire process. Great work!"
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.
