"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"After I talked to many companies about replacing my heating and cooling systems Overall Heating and Cooling were the misy resonate with pricing and professional company for the job. They were prompt to come out the next day and replace my entire heating and cooling system the same day. They were professional on every level possible and cleaned up after the job was done. I recommend this company for their services. AMAZING and I am very happy with the results"

"The furnace in my rental property stopped working a week ago. Hired a contractor thru homeadvisor to take a look. Was told cracked heat exchanger and system needed replacing along with the outside AC unit. Got a quote from the contractor but decided to use homeadvisor again for more estimates. Air Temp came in with the most reasonable price. They replaced both furnace and AC unit in one afternoon. Tenant was really happy. I haven't checked AC yet. Would recommend nevertheless. They don't play game on estimate. They were very clean and professional. Great guys."

Customers say: Quality work

"Had an "A/C tune up" done to an old central air system. Guy was really knowledgeable, walk me thru the inspection, and was really thorough. I feel like the A/C tune special is a bit misleading. Yeah they check the unit but any small repair that needs to be done is extra. Also person had to reschedule from a Sat to Sun appointment and was 3 to 4 hours late on the Sunday appointment. I get it's the busy season. However, I would hire again and recommend to others. They seem honest about the work which is rare for any job."

"Called for a furnace tune up before turning heat on for the season. Fair flat price and quickly available. Felix was efficient and knowledgeable and gave me advice for ongoing maintenance. Another company was charging by the hour and said it would be at least an hour, hour and a half which does not line up with my past experiences having a tune up done."

"I contacted MDL Electric LLC Cooling and Heating on 01/19/19 Saturday evening via Angie's List messaging on my tablet. A response came within 15 minutes but I missed it since I didn't expect a reply that night. The first reply stated that someone would help me out first thing Monday morning. I replied the next day (Sunday 01/20) at 1pm asking for a specific time. The next reply on Angie's List messaging came at 7 min. after midnight on 01/21 stating 10-11 am but I didn't see it thinking "first thing" Monday morning implied around 7:30 when MDL states that they open for business. Another reply came at 07.34 in the morning stating that they would be arriving between 8-8:30 am. I also received a phone call at 7.35 am from Miguel the owner stating that Rudy was the name of guy that was coming between 8-8:30 am. At 8.00 am, the doorbell rang, the contractor came on time! Rudy arrived and I told him the problem and the possible culprits. I also mentioned that I was an Angie's List member and that MDL Electric LLC Cooling & Heating stated on their profile & website for 10% off if you were an Angie's List member and asked for an estimate of the price when he was done diagnosing. He simply replied that he didn't know and that someone else would take care of the pricing and billing. I was a bit hesitant but Monday was extremely cold: 6 degrees outside so I described my problem to Rudy hoping I wouldn't be price gouged. Another contractor stated they wanted $200 just to show up (diagnosis fee + more if additional work needed to be done) and MDL just sent someone to help correct the problem. I'm not sure if one is better than the other but I like doing business with family owned companies so I gave Rudy a chance. A non-GFCI outlet outside, 1 GFCI outlet inside near the sink, and other 2 other outlets that turned off appliances when I used them w/ an industrial strength extension cord from Home Depot. It could possibly be causing problems upstairs with the 2 switches in the bathroom if they were on the same circuit and that the house has solar installed. The last part is important because it scares away most contractors if they find out you have solar installed or the price quote goes up. It can be dangerous and it's always good disclosing the work environment before the contractor arrives. Two other electrical contractors saw that I had solar and just stated that they couldn't help me at all. I had already purchased a dozen commercial grade Levitron outlets but I didn't have any internal electrical wire or light switches for the bathroom upstairs and asked Rudy if he needed anything else. He inspected the parts that I provided then told me he'd be right back and went outside to his car to get his tools. Rudy went to the electrical panel, did a quick diagnosis and replaced the GFCI outlet inside the house. I showed him the outside outlet and he said that it should be a GFCI outlet outside. I agreed and he proceeded to install the GFCI outlet & non-metallic box that I had previously ordered for another job (that I was going to do myself but having solar installed scared me off). Everything worked after that, no need to replace any other outlet! The outside GFCI outlet was difficult to install but Rudy managed to fix the issue of the space behind the outlet being too deep. Before leaving, Rudy asked if I wanted him to fix the switches in the bathroom upstairs that I showed him earlier. I said no, leave them for another time since I did not have any parts for him to change out. I had a similar issue with a tenant at another location that needed to be diagnosed where there was no power from an outlet and the lights in a nearby room were dimming as a result. I asked if I needed to request another quote using Angie's List for the location or if Rudy was allowed to work at the other location once he finished up. Miguel called me on the phone and asked some questions then said that Rudy can follow me to the other location. I called ahead to make sure the tenant was home for the visit: no sense in wasting electrician & my time if tenant wasn't available. At the other location, Rudy went to the electrical panel, did some diagnosis and proceeded to replace an outlet that a non-electrician handyman had previously closed off. A little before 9:30, 2 locations, 3 replaced outlets (2 of them GFCI and 1 of them outdoors in the frigid cold) with diagnosis at both locations, job was completed. Tenant was happy, I was happy. Miguel called me at 9.30 am when the job was done and quoted me $350 for the job, with a 3.5% ($12.25) fee if I needed to use a credit card. I gave him my details over the phone and received a receipt for the transaction today via email which I provided to Miguel via text message yesterday. While I don't know if that price includes the 10% discount for being an Angie's List member, I figured Miguel can keep it as a tip for a job well done. I tried to use that other "free" contractor service but they kept trying to verify me before they would let me see a contractor list so thank you Angie's List! I apologize for the formatting, it was formatted before being submitted to Angie's List, afterwards, it looks like a huge block of text with absolutely no formatting. That's Angie's List, not my writing."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in North Arlington, NJ

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.
