"I have had a service contract with McCrea Heating and Cooling since I purchased my condo unit new 7 1/2 years ago which included 2 maintenance visits a year. My current contract expired yesterday so I called to renew my service contract and upgrade from "Bronze" to "Silver." The representative took my charge card information over the phone. I asked if the contract was in effect as of today. They said "yes." Then I tried to schedule a service call (my unit was serviced a little over a month ago and now the condo wasn't cooling.) I was told then that the Silver Contract would NOT be in effect after all. The difference in price between Bronze and Silver is the cost of a diagnostic visit so they were getting the money one way or another. My long time history with the company did not persuade them to honor the contract I had just paid for. They wanted to charge me $98 to have my problem diagnosed under the Bronze contract that I pointed out was already expired. I was told the representative "misspoke" and should have told me they would have to send out someone to determine whether the furnace they have been maintaining for the past 7 years (with the most recent service call just a month ago) would "qualify" for the Silver plan. So, I cancelled the order for the Silver Plan. I called another company who came out for $30 and determined the problem was a clogged condensation drain. This drain was supposed to have been "blown out" when the regular maintenance was done by McCrea just a month ago, but obviously was not. The water was backed up in the drain pipe and filled the pan under the furnace/AC unit which turned off the AC. Now that everything is working again, I am seeking a different maintenance service plan provider. McCrea has competitive service contract prices, but if they have no customer loyalty, and the maintenance work is not done properly, maybe it's a question of "you get what you pay for.""

"Our heat pump was making some strange sounds and we called and had an appointment right away! Isaiah was prompt, courteous and professional! He gave us a couple of options to help us with our heat pump issue. We opted to replace the heat pump and furnace and have peace of mind for the next 10 years. During install, Isaiah, Joseph and Michael all did a great job, they all were very professional and would definitely recommend them!!"

"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!"

"I had a great experience with Nate. He was extremely knowledgeable about A/C systems and was far more well-versed than many other companies in the area. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I understood the issue and solution. Nate was also very friendly, professional, and informative throughout the entire visit. I truly appreciated his expertise and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone needing HVAC service."

"First of all Patsy showed up, actually a day early to look at the project. This was amazing being I had been waiting a year plus for another person to do the job. He started right away on the job. Due to the salt air climate, I had bought lifetime finished brass hardware that matched the hardware for the front door. When Patsy started to work on the install, he discovered that the screen knob and the main door hardware would interfere with the closure of the doors. He suggested that I return the hardware and purchase another, which I did. In the meanwhile, he sent me a suggestion picture of a system that would work. I bought a similar one with the same lifetime guarantee as my original hardware that looked like his picture. We arranged for Patsy's return and he was even slightly early the day that was set. The lock that I purchased had to be mortised in the door. He and his other carpenter, Chris, did not blink an eye and installed the lock. The door was slightly thicker than the opening and again Patsy knew exactly how to make it fit, work and look exactly like it was made for that size. Both Patsy and Chris were meticulous throughout the entire installation and the final product is spectacular! I will not hesitate to use this company again! They are extremely professional, trust worthy and a pleasure! The bill was more than fair for the complexity of the job! It was not your typical screen door install! I wish I could upload a picture for everyone to see the fabulous job it turned out to be!

"My heat pump which had been installed 2 years ago by FH Furr suddenly stopped working Sunday afternoon. With the heat warnings in effect, I knew I needed help, FAST! Blair arrived this morning abd diagnosed the issue and replaced the condensation pump. These new "smart" systems have more brains than some humans!! When the pump failed, it shut down the entire system. However, Blair had the old school know-how and work ethic to get my system back online and back to normal. I have seen a nice change in technicians in the last 2 years and am always pleased to have them come out and fix any issues I may have. Keep up the good work!!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Lewes, DE

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.
