"I had electric heat and wanted to change to a heat pump. Joe, Ocean State Air's sales rep gave me a very quick proposal and hooked me up with Rise Engineering to get a $3000- rebate from National Grid and have an energy audit done. National Grid paid 90% of any insulation upgrades needed. They had a six week backlog and set a date for the installation 1 1/2 weeks before the work was started. They arrived on time with a sizable crew. They originally said that the installation is usually finished in 3 days. It took 3 days plus 1 hour on the forth day. They mad an effort to keep the house as clean as possible. All work was carefully done so that the work looks neat and no damage was done to the home. Communication was good. They didn't have an in-house electrician and gave the option to hire my own or to use someone that they worked with. The electricians they hired were personable and did a very good job. The heat pump operated without a hitch. 2 years service was included with the job and Mitsubishi, the manufacturer, offers a 12 year warranty."

"Hiring Williams & Assoc. has turned out to be one of the best decisions Iâ ve ever made! From the very start, this experience was excellent! Bruce and his team were professional, kind, and helpful when describing the system we purchased and answering the hundred questions we had along the way. Their attention to detail and all of the little extras one wouldnâ t even expect to receive were provided as if it were second nature to them. And the team worked tirelessly, without stopping until the job was finished. We were happy to have them in our home. These are genuinely good people. Our old boiler was past the point of being dangerous. Smoke filled the basement every time it came on. Anyone could see that we were in an emergency position and had no choice but to replace the old system. Some companies Iâ ve dealt with in the past would have taken advantage of our situation. But not Williams! The price for our new high efficiency heating system was very â veryâ reasonable. Due to our situation, the work was started and completed almost immediately and the service was excellent! My wife and I highly recommend Williams & Associates."

"We called Fellowship in dire straights in the middle of the night when our heating pipe burst due to freezing temperatures and wind chill. Kyle and Neal arrived on time the following morning and were on top of what needed to be done, it was like plumbing triage and they were able to get right into the walls and diagnose the issue and do what was necessary to get our heat working again. We look forward to the contractor coming to patch things up but glad that they remediated the issue and will definitely use them for future plumbing needs."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Newport, RI

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.
