"Excellent work. As a landlord, I needed to replace a furnace last year. Will, at A-1 Heating & Cooling came and gave me great advice. I replaced the gas/radiator furnace, furnace was great, no issues at all. This spring, I decided to replace my furnace as well since it was 30 yrs old. Job was finished within 6 hrs, radiators bled, old furnace removed, another great job. Cant say enough about this company…..the owner actually answers the phone!"

"Adams just installed a new Rheem furnace and Rheem central AC unit. I could not be any happier!! Terry Hobbs did an awesome job configuring every detail of the system! Nothing was additional!! Anthony and his crew installed both systems in one day. You would never know they were here except for the new equipment. I would highly recommend Adams Heating and Cooling! These guys are total professionals!!"

"The folks at Wheeler Heating and Cooling are very courteous and professional. They show up when they say they will, sometimes even five minutes early! Their technicians are extremely knowledgeable and are looking to fit the needs of the customer, not squeeze as much profit as possible from them. They put the right sized AC unit in for the lowest possible price without sacrificing on quality. Additionally I had to put a call in over the winter for an issue with my furnace and thermostat. They were able to advise me over the phone on how to resolve the issue without charging me. My experience with this company has been all around positive and I will continue to use their services in the future."

"Most of the work was performed by Joe's employee who was very courteous and very competent. He completely replaced out inner pipe stem and faucet system in bathroom shower, including cutting through sheet rock etc. The existing system was damaged and not repairable. The work was very clean. Joe specifically replaced hot and cold spigots in the basement connected to washing machine, work being also very competent and clean. Both men provided explanations and guidance that was greatly appreciated. Joe replaced hoses to washing machine and cleaned all water ports giving advise about maintenance. I would recommend this company. Pricing was fair for the time expended. I provided the hardware set and pipe stem for the bathroom."

"We started out last year with a plumbing and heating problem in a poorly constructed bathroom where there wasn't enough heat to keep the pipes from freezing and breaking. We thought we wanted radiant heat for the corrective construction, but after Adam came and looked at the house and the repair job, he really didn't think it was the correct solution. He actually helped us find a contractor who was willing to work with us on the more extensive repairs we needed for the house repair, and Adam helped find a workable and cost-effective heating solution for the house. Adam was very patient and helped us determine the best heating solution for our century-old home. We discussed all the options and then determined to replace the old furnace. Then we also had to add some heat runs to a remodeled area of the house, and he did that work too! His price on the furnace install came in much lower than other quotes we had received the previous two years, and we were able to add central air to the house as well. After the construction was underway on the remodel, he came and helped us balance the air flow in the house so that all the rooms on both floors could be more comfortable and evenly heated. We are very satisfied with the work completed. He is quick to return a message or phone call. He shows up when he says he is going to and does excellent work. Adam is easy to talk to, and we never had any doubt that he was committed to giving us quality products and services. We definitely recommend him to others."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
