"Fantastic contractor. Scott came to my house to provide estimate for furnace installation. Except for the fact that I decided on different approach, Scott would have been my #1 choice. He was over-the-top thorough and comprehensive in inpecting oil furnace, provided detailed and comprehensive information on options, was honest and candid in his assessment. Told me what was necessary and what was optional, not trying to sell me on what he wanted to sell. He also had excellent pricing. Bottomline, he is one of the best contractors I've ever met."

"This was my first time hiring anyone from Angi so I was a bit apprehensive, but it worked out wonderfully. Robert contacted me almost immediately after I left a message. He was able to fit my job in about 2 days later which was great (it wasn’t an emergency). I didn’t meet him personally but my tenants said he was polite and cleaned up after himself. He’s very easy to communicate with (calls, texts), shows up on time and gets the job done. I would definitely use Brooks Heating & Air Conditioning again."

"Great experience Justin, Nate & Timothy were awesome. Very knowledgeable, professional & curious. Aside from the cleanliness they delivered an experience. I highly recommend HL bowman if you want rapid service on your HVAC. Pricing was reasonable in my opinion & financing is an option. Keep in mind when seeking quotes for your HVAC repair/ new install you must consider performance over equipment, that is if your want a good system that will have a good run/life span."

"Nate is great! He was able to repair my heating system after a mistake was made by a previous contractor. He came to my rescue a second time, when my basement was flooded. Repaired my heating system and installed a new hot water heater. He is reliable, knowledgeable , answered all my questions, prompt, affordable and friendly. Definitely reccomend him for these mechanical needs."

"IPS responded quickly and fixed the issue (gutter pulling away from the eave) the next day. They also took care of another issue that I was aware of which had worsened considerably - broken boots that surround the bathroom & kitchen exhaust vent pipes on the roof. One reason that I called IPS is the trust that I've developed with this contractor dating back a few years when I was seeking an estimate for enlarging the kitchen. Fred, the owner of IPS, patiently explained a variety of options but did not push us. We appreciated that he was willing to provide advice that helped us, even if it meant that he wouldn't be getting work from us that day. For that reason, I'll always be confident in using his services."

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.
