"Within 5 minutes after Roy walked in, I knew I was speaking with an expert. He talked me out of wasting money on what I wanted (getting rid of boiler and replying on furnace) telling me about how everyone in the city during -40 degree nights was will freeze and if I keep the boiler I'll be comfy. He also talked me out of choosing a heat pump, saying in Chicago it will cause problems in the dead of winter and then I'll be out of luck. Initial estimate was only to replace the 60 year oil leaky boiler and 40 year old loud AC and furnace. Came in, did the work quickly, and when we were doing final inspection he pointed out where my last remaining original furnace was having problems. Gave me a great price to just get the the last furnace and AC done (AC was 40 years old). I know they won't be the cheapest but if you want someone you can trust who will guide you with his 30 years of experience and teach you the finer details of heating and cooling while delivering quality work, go with Porterhouse. I won't trust anyone else."

"Brian was the sales person and thankfully he was the first person of four to bid on our job. He took the time to explain what we really needed, why we needed it as well as what we didn't need and why we didn't need it. His professionalism, knowledge and ability to explain HVAC to someone who is not familiar with it made all of the difference. None of the other three companies met the standard he set. The real icing on the cake was that the TR Miller bid was also the most affordable.
Ben and his team came to install the system today. They were on time. They were very accommodating. They worked quickly, efficiently, remarkably quietly and effectively. Ben took the time to explain how everything was installed and why it was installed the way it was. He also explained fully how the thermostat and humidifier work.
Our house, inside and out, is cleaner and neater than when they began their work.
We couldn't be happier. I will actively recommend their service to anyone."

"We decided to replace an outdated AC unit and furnace with a brand new heat pump and furnace. After speaking with a Four Seasons sales rep, we knew they were the best choice to go with due to their thorough assessment, knowledge of products, availability of service and overall transparency. And perhaps most importantly, they were not pushy and respect our decisions on what system we felt was best for our home. As with any expenditure of this nature, there will be some ironing out of details and inevitable bumps to get everything completed, but the overall experience amounted to an energy-efficient HVAC system that was installed with care and expediency. Their service technicians are also friendly, thorough, knowledgeable, and available at a moment's notice. We are so glad that we went with Four Seasons."

"These guys were great. Not only did they do all the furnace ducts. The proprietary dryer duct was disassembled cleaned and reassembled at their incentive. I’ve had other services show up at my doorstep with a fraction of the equipment and I turned them away. Mr. Duct is the only duct cleaning service I will ever recommend. The extra money is MORE than worth it."

"I had a family of racoons in my attic that took over 3 months to get rid of them. The resulting mess required all the existing insulation had to be removed (combination blown in and rolled fiberglass on top of it. Also had 2 attic fans that needed to be replaced/removed, as well as the initial hole that was torn into the roof to get in by the mama racoon. I hired Assured Insulation based on not only cost, but they are a preferred contractor of the EnergySmart Nicor rebate program. Other contractors I received a cost estimate from didn't even mention anything about rebates. This wasn't the usual mail in your form and 10-12 weeks later you receive a check. Assured did all the work and I received the max rebate right off the top of the bill. I did nothing, Assured Insulation did everything. As far as the work that was done. They did a superb job, could not have asked for a better job. Ed repaired the roof hole, removed 1 attic fan and replaced another as well as redirected the vent from my bathroom fan up thru the roof (building code) vs to the soffit. Initially he told me they may have to do that, but there were no hundreds of dollars of addons, $50 over their original bid and that included a special spray that the other contractors had said they use because of the racoons. Able and the rest of the crew, who worked together very well as a team and were very courteous and considerate of us. They performed leakage tests before starting work and after completion (as part of their requirements for the rebates, not mine). • They removed all the existing insulation, including what the racoons left behind. • Sealed all the ceiling fixtures and between walls (tagged them as well so they can be found after insulation was blown in) • Sprayed the special Microban to neutralize ceilings below from the critters presence. • Installed baffles to allow attic to breathe and allow heat to rise over the insulation. • Sealed & filled in areas that leak (Kitchen soffits open and exposed, bathroom) • Built up areas that were below the 16" height of the insulation, added additional foam backing to entrance doors to the attic(s) And lastly, if I hadn't been there during the process and came home, well you would barely know that anyone even showed up. They removed all remnants of new or old insulation, cleaned the area leading to the attics, the hallways, floors, walls. just a terrific, terrific job, well beyond my expectations. I would whole heartedly recommend Assured Insulation Solutions to anyone. I don't do testimonials like this for work, but I can't say enough about the job they did."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Manhattan, IL

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.
