"Joyce Cooling and Heating installed a new high-efficiency Lennox furnace and air conditioner. The installation looks great and was professionally completed. The furnace is working fantastic and is so quiet we can't even hear it running. We are warm and comfortable all the time and the new high-efficiency design should save us money for many years to come. The technicians answered all of my numerous questions."

"I would highly recommend Druziako HVAC Co. to anyone needing repairs and or replacement for Heating and cooling service. We lost our furnace Heating in the middle of the cold snap, these guys came out and immediately found the replacement system we needed and promptly replaced the next business day. Job completed, who does that..? The owner even called us during the night and offered to bring us a temp heat source if we needed it. Fortunately we did not. We can't say enough about the service. I would use them again and plan to for future cleaning and service. Nick ( the Owner i guess) and his guys did a great and professional job. Thank You Nick...!"

"We have a heating service contract with Sila and had our annual scheduled service call on 2/26/19. We've always had excellent experiences with the staff who have serviced our furnace, and today was no exception. The technician, Guy, came promptly and very efficiently performed the required testing and measurements of the service procedure. Before he left, I asked for some information about future replacement of the burner and possible changes to our heating zone arrangement. He gave a very clear explanation of what to consider about making any future changes, what might potentially be involved, and answered all of our questions knowledgeably. Thanks to him we can proceed with our decision process with better understanding."

"Mike was thorough, professional, and everything I could ask for in a contractor. He showed tremendous knowledge of the systems his company sells, their suitability to my house in particular, attentive to my concerns, and quick to bring rebates and other sales to my attention. If I had gone with a mini-split system, I would have used N.E.T.R. without a doubt. I remain very pleased with my interactions with Mike, even though they didn't result in a sale.

"I highly recommend J. Griffin Heating and Plumbing for any install, repair or maintenance needs you may have. Jeff, the company owner, and his team recently replaced my very old home heating system with a high-efficiency boiler. I placed a request through Home Advisor and received a call back from Jeff the very next morning. Jeff was at the house that evening and spent an hour or more with me explaining my options in detail and answering all of my questions. I inherently knew, from that meeting, that I was dealing with an honest guy. He spoke with pride about his family and that his wife and boys are key to the success of the business. I expressed to Jeff that I was concerned about the safety of my current furnace and wanted to get it done as soon as possible. They made room in their busy schedule and were at my home, ready to go, within a few days. They were clean, neat and caused very little disturbance to me and my family during the install. Jeff and the guys were friendly, polite and conscientious. When the job was done, Jeff took the time to educate us on how the the system works and what to look for. Sandy runs the office and was very helpful with the entire processâ ¦.from scheduling the initial appointment to getting the contract together to helping me through the rebate process. Top notch service. It was just a great experience from beginning to end. You cannot go wrong hiring these guys. They are the best."

"Our daughter and her husband are living out of the country, temporarily. When their leasees said the furnace was blowing cold air, we wanted the repair done quickly and at a good price. Unique Indoor Comfort Heating & Cooling responded right away and came to the property the same day we called. Very professional!"

"Things went very well. The sales process involved a home visit, discussion afterwards, and follow up by e-mail messages to determine what I needed in general, what I wanted in detail, the price, and understanding about rebates. Everything was clear, up front, and complete (for example, no additional costs showed up later). Airco was patient with me and spoke at my level. Their schedule was busy and there were a couple of misses before the installation date was agreed to. It was met without being changed by them. The installer was professional and courteous and put up well with my questions. The installation was done well in the proscribed time. Old stuff was carted away and clean up was done before departure. The air conditioner and new thermostat have worked well. It has been too warm to give the furnace a significant shake down. Airco did their paperwork for rebates and supplied me with the information I needed in a timely manner. There were a few misses scheduling the QIV test, but it was done at the agreed upon time and date. Again, in a very satisfactory fashion. My overall impression is of good, honest people.

"Addario installed a new high-efficiency gas furnace for us and also ran new heating lines for an apartment that was previously on separate, electric baseboard heat. It was a big job, in the middle of a heat wave, and they were unfailingly professional and considerate. I felt from the beginning to the end that they were treating our house with care."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in North Chelmsford, MA

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.
