"This furnace installation is the second I have had done by Jose. I have three systems in this large, old home, and he performed marvelously. He is the essence of honest, competent and efficient. And he takes pride in his craft. When my third furnace goes, I'll be calling Jose. John Ellis"

"I worked with Jon a number of years ago where he was the main person in charge of maintaining our companys HVAC along with extra service calls that popped up. Jon always checked in with us upon his arrival, letting us know what he will be working on that particular day, checking in again letting us know that he was finished for the day and when he plans to return. Jon also always took the time to explain the WHY and HOW anytime I inquired further so I could get a full understanding of the problem and what we can do to ensure it does not happen again. He is very knowledgeable and takes great pride in his work as well as sharing that knowledge with others. I would highly recommend anybody to try out Jon and Blue Collar HVAC. You will not be disappointed!"

"Yes, they worked at restoring the heater on my water heater, went and got the part they needed, and made sure they got the heat restored and the temperature set to my satisfaction. They also made sure they put everything back to the way it was when they arrived. They were very pleasant and professional. Have them in my phone book--hope I DON'T need them, but if I do need a plumber, their number is in my book!"

"The owner of Apex Residential Services and the men working for him were on time and professional. I was given the choice of appointment times that fit my availability. Apex kept the set schedule. Very proficient and knowledgeable in their work. Communication is phenomenal as they explained everything from what they were doing to why and what they were looking for. The owner worked with his guys instead of standing around or giving orders. Would highly recommend Apex Residential Services for maintenance, service and repair of your system. Would highly recommend for replacement also. Apex tells you the truth and facts and then gives you options."

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.
