"I had a great experience with Holmes Cooling and Heating. From start to finish, Bart was professional, punctual, and courteous. He explained everything clearly and seemed very knowledgeable about the issue and how to fix it. The repair was done quickly, and my system has been running perfectly ever since. I really appreciate their honesty and attention to detail. It's definitely a company I’d recommend to anyone needing reliable AC service"

"These folks are great!  The first couple of years that I had this central AC installed, the main HVAC unit would freeze up and flood the closet and adjacent areas.  
After paying another company for the same repair for three years, I finally ditched them and called Weathershield.  They came out, noticed that I had a bad thermostat, replace that, serviced the unit and I haven't had a problem since then. 
The folks are super polite, arrive on time and have had my AC purring now for over four years now.  Can't say enough.

"Arrived at 9:30 am. Installation went smoothly. They took away the old system. Very happy with the new Carrier system. They showed me how to program the digital thermostat. I was without AC for a week because my old AC's condenser coil had a leak in the aluminum part. My condenser was mismatched with my air handler/evaporator so the whole system needed to be replaced. These guys did a great job and cleaned up the work debris after."

"East Coast Air's Scott estimated and provided oversight while Johnny and Xavier did an excellent job of replacing an old outdated and useless ac duct with a modern well insulated duct system that Scott convinced me was the best way to provide ac to my home that often didn't cool well in the summer. Boy was he right. It works great now. They also replaced the central air system that was over 20 years old with the right size for my home and we saved on the electric bill. They did an excellent, professional job that was preformed with minimal inconvenience."

"The service was great. They came in, inspected my system, and provided me with options, with one of the options being to replace the system with a new system. I chose this option because the system I had was old, and I didn't want to have to deal with this issue in the future, and the cost was reasonable. The unit was installed the very next day with little to no issues."

"At first, I am usually very hesitant about A/C repairs because they typically come out and you end up with a hefty bill. Dealing with Steve and Cooling Experts made me realize that this was not the case. He was very straightforward and honest and in my books that merits 5 stars all the way. The price was very reasonable and serviced my furnace and exceeded my expectations. Great company and this will be my go to company for all my A/C needs."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Margate, FL

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.
