"I’ve used Holtzople in the past, and it’s been 16 years since they’ve come out to look at my Trane heat pump. They hire good human beings. Corey W. Was out most recent tech, with a total of 12 years experience. Quality employee, great HVAC knowledge, and has the ability to explain a complex system to his audience. Holtzople continues to impress with the caliber of the employees they hold."

"We were looking to install a tankless water heater and rough-in some plumbing in our basement. He doesn't do new-construction type work, so we ended up going with someone else. He did come over and talk for a while about the water heater options and I felt as though his information and experience was thorough and honest. Even though we didn't use Bamford for this project, I would in the future for other plumbing needs.

"My experience with Deanâ s HVAC was great! Iâ m still so happy. It will be two years in October since I had the entire system replaced. I went from an oil furnace to a heat pump. Also needed a brand new AC unit. The price was very affordable and the company followed up with me as promised for the AC unit when it was time to start that rolling. Very professional and did a superb job. Very neat and clean. Itâ s one of the best investments I made for my home."

"The technician was extremely thorough. Replace the thermostat batteries and furnace filter (I provided the parts), checked for any carbon monoxide leaks, checked the condition of furnace components, and found some bare wires that he taped up."

"Excellent service! We needed a new system desperately, and since Strive provides financing, it made our choice that much easier. Everyone was very polite, friendly, professional and helpful. They got us on the schedule quickly, during what was becoming a hectic period for them, and got the install done promptly and professionally. We highly recommend Strive for your heating and cooling needs, and we look forward to working with them in the future!"

"Markool was super professional, kind, and skillful. A few things really stood out. 1) He did a furnace flue piper install that he could have charged us much more for if he had wanted to take advantage of us - but he was honest and we paid less than we feared. He also went the extra mile helping my wife and I through a warranty claim with the furnace company so that we did not have to pay extra part costs. It was an unexpected need, but he was prepared with the part and worked with the manufacturer to get us covered. He was even able to better a previous repair. 2) On a home humidifier install, he made himself available on short notice, took time to answer our questions, and then showed us how to maintain the equipment ourselves so we wouldn't need to shelve out more for additional contracting work - even from him. Grateful!"

"Mr. Bost did an excellent job for me for a reasonable price. I know he obtained the best deal for me on the furnace and the air conditioning unit. He answered all my questions. He was on the job when he said he would be; he was professional and courteous. The installation went smoothly, and I have had no problem with the furnace or air conditioner since they were installed in 2008."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Manchester, 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.
