"Everything went according to Plan. Shawn came out, gave us an estimate and promised the work would be done in a timely manner. It was. The technicians were very professional and neat. They cleaned up after themselves and took out the old furnace. Can't praise them enough."

"The overall experience was good. However, when we called them back for the one-year check they serviced it but indicated that we live too far away and they can't continue to service the equipment. They suggested that we find someone more local."

"I thought they were on the high side. The only problem that I've had with their delivery is, they brought oil when I didn't think I needed it. If I have a full tank in April, I don't them to come out until the fall. I don't have to be here when they deliver the oil, they show up on the day. I don't have an appointment."

"My furnace was not working over the Memorial Day weekend and the tempurature was unseasonably cool. Select Mechanical Services found that three items needed to be replaced. Since they didn't have the parts on hand at the time, they were able to get the furnace to work for the rest of the weekend and returned four days later and fixed the furnace."

"Although it cost me more than expected, Greg would not give up on correcting the balky furnace we have. He did a lot of investigating and found the culprit for the furnace mis-firing. GREAT WORK GREG!"

"Air Inc. installed a new 2 ton Goodman central air conditioner in my 73 year old lake house. David and his installation team were very professional and did a very good job of retro-fitting the new air conditioning coil in a very tight space between the furnace and the air duct transition tinwork. Air Inc. teamed up Joe from Welburn Electric in Cheshire to do the electrical wiring from the main panel to the outside fan/compressor unit. Joe also did an outstanding job."

"I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like I had to for this one. I’d been dealing with an ongoing furnace problem for weeks and had a couple other companies come out but nobody could give me a straight answer or actually fix the issue. When Enea from Northeast Heating and Cooling showed up, he figured it out almost immediately. He was able to explain to me what was wrong in simple terms, fix the problem on the spot, and even made sure it won’t happen again. The technician was professional, thorough, and you could tell he actually knew what they were doing. After all the frustration I had before, their service was honestly a huge relief. Highly recommend them."

"Highly recommended. I hired Bruce to replace my ancient heating system, and he and his crew did the job with great care, skill, and professionalism. From my first contact with him, Bruce was patient, knowledgeable, and eager to make sure all my questions and concerns were answered and addressed. He and his crew were kind, considerate, and safe. I would have no hesitation about hiring Williams & Associates again, their services are outstanding."

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.
