"They're very responsive. There were some trouble with the system but they got it. They were persistent and got it fixed. There were problems with the system. I'm not sure whose fault it was that there were problems with a brand new system. I think it was very reasonable."

"This job actually went from a mini-split AC quote, to a entire central AC/Heat pump and new duct-work installation, so this review is of the later. Where to start? I can't speak highly enough about Ronnie and his crew. From the lightning fast responses to my questions/concerns, the friendliness of his crew, their attention to detail, and of course, the above-and-beyond effort in making the final system absolutely perfect. As someone who has dealt with many houses from MD to FL in the past 25 years, all with existing AC units in varying states of disrepair; I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when doing a completely new installation in a home that didn't have existing ductwork, electrical wiring and plumbing. Ronnie explained to me in detail why a mini-split system wasn't the best option given my home's layout. He then proceeded to explain to me the technical and practical reasons behind his choices for the location of a central A/C & condenser, the drain routing, new electrical wiring and fuse-panel considerations, and the ductwork routing/sizing. Given all this, I was confident that things would be installed correctly from the start and I wouldn't be dealing with nuisance issues in the future. Note: That aside from the appearance and location of the ceiling vents themselves, I wasn't terribly concerned about the aesthetic aspects of this job because the majority of work was being performed in a largely unused attic space. Needless to say, I was truly shocked by the final installation. As someone who has a degree in mechanical engineering, I was impressed by the uniformity of the step-down/sizing of the duct system to deliver air efficiently to the most distant parts of the house, specifically to the two areas of the home I deemed most important, and the orderliness of the hanging flexible duct hoses. So not only did he install an incredibly quiet, efficient system, he did so in a manner that still left me with about 85% of usable attic-space by strategically locating and routing all parts of the system. To sum things up, the effort that Eastern Shore Maint LLC put into this installation (which only took two-and-a-half business days) was herculean to say the least. They had to procure the services of an electrician to drastically alter the power supply in my home, work around material shortage issues, and still got the job done a day ahead of schedule. Finally - although Eastern Shore Maint LLC wasn't the cheapest bid I received for this project, I am glad I chose them because I couldn't be more happy with and confident in the final product. From start to finish, a completely professional job!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Secretary, MD

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.
