"Wow! We laughed about how my new furnace moved me into the 21st century. And I added central air...all for a reasonable amount. The contractor explained the pros and cons of what was available and we came upon a great heating & cooling system. I felt bad they had to work so hard to remove the old furnace but they were professional throughout. I absolutely love my lower utility bills!"

"Sean is the best!!! He was on time, very professional and great prices. Sean went above and beyond with my a/c and have installation. Prior to installation of heating and a/c he had replaced some vents and a rusted piece of pipe in my basement. Sean is very conscientious about his work and leaves the place very neat. I highly reccomend Temp-Rite Heating for your next service or replacement of HVAC & A/C"

"I had this company come in for a quote, and couldn't have been happier. They provide plumbing and air/heat install and repair. I had my furnace replaced and a new hot water tank installed. Prices were wonderful in comparison and they only used top quality products (carrier furnace). Jason and John are very personable and stand by the work they do. I felt no pressure to purchase or use them, but they provided honest input and opinions. I am very pleased I decided to go with Built Right Concepts. I highly recommend giving them a look!"

"They arrived at my residence for a diagnostic test which showed my particular furnace could only be serviced by company select contractors. They checked the age, price of parts, and gave me information on HVAC technicians who could service my brand of furnace. Ultimately, I chose to have Bradley Brothers HVAC return to my residence and give a price quote on a new furnace which can be serviced by any HVAC technician. After deciding upon the best option and researching the specific model they were going to install I gave them the green light for installation. They arrived early, worked all day without a lunch break, and finished the installation process around 3:00 p.m. They showed me how to use the new furnace before leaving. Bradley Brothers HVAC was not only a local close company, but also a very friendly and straightforward business."

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.
