"I was very impressed with the service. He contacted me within ten minutes, set up an appointment for that afternoon. He arrived in good time. Although the part was not set to arrive until the next day, he went out of his way to find the part to get my furnace working, as the temperature was set to drop close to freezing that night. His prices were fair and his work was top tier."

"The repair technician and Customer Service representatives were spot on. Melinda in the office was absolutely amazing, going above and beyond to find a new part that was being phased out for my older A/C unit. Brennen was the technician who performed the repairs. He kept me informed as to what he found, what needed to be replaced, and what he was going to request, and he even went above and beyond to stress that it was imperative to get the A/C working at my house due to a bedbound parent with a broken hip. I would highly recommend Fire & Ice Heating and Air, LLC."

"Mays Heating and Air was a delight to work with. The owner himself, Paul Mays, came to our house and did a great job repairing our unit. We have a small baby at home, so he made it his mission to have the unit fixed that day and was more than willing to stay until passed 7:00 p.m. to make sure it was fixed and operating correctly. I highly recommend Mays Heating and Air!"

"Moultries Heating and Air were very professional. I received quotes from other company, they wanted to charge us several thousands of dollars for a new unit. Moultries Heating suggested that we attempt “Stop Leak” first before begin the process of replacement. They tested our unit and found out it was only a minor leak. The Stop Leak completely resolved the issue. They literally Saved us thousands of dollars. The A/C is so cold now, it’s practically blowing snowballs. I would definitely use them again !"

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.
