"From the initial contact with Rob at Shore2shore, the experience was nothing short of wonderful. He spent considerable time evaluating my home and listening to my needs, then guided me through every step of the way with care and professionalism. I would 100% recommend this company to my friends and family. I'm very happy with the short time it took from the initial contact to the job completion for the heat pump system. Great job!"

"Very well! Their crew made one of the most beautiful & strong/durable wheelchair ramps we have ever seen. They were able to match the handrails to our existing porch railing. The grab bars in two bathrooms are very secure. Excellent work."

"I had a bad compressor in my 10 year old carrier heat pump. John came out verified the compressor was bad for free. He would give me a price to replace compressor. He also told me a price to install a new outside only unit with 10 year warranty on parts and 2 years on service for a little more. Unit is installed and working so much better then the old unit."

"I was very pleased both times.  It is clear that I am nursing along an old system and it so wonderful to have found someone willing to help me do that.  I know eventually I will need to replace the system but just got through two summers with no problems.  I am so grateful not to have been pushed into believing that I needed to replace the system yet.  Many companies just want to make a sale and are not so willing to help you maintain."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Hillsboro, MD

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.
