"Our AC was running however the fan wasn't turning. Pat came to our house at 8:30pm and started working on the unit--had it fixed within 20 minutes!
Fontana Brothers is the only company I trust for heating/air related issues. I've delt with so many companies and find that most of them want to charge an arm and a leg, then try selling you something on top of it. Fontana Brothers have always been professional, timely and trustworthy--prices are great too!

"We have a 1950s house with a flat roof and only 8" to work in. Omar and Kyle were able to figure out how to replace a duct. The job was much more involved then originally perceived at time of quote but the company stuck by their original price. Truly professional!"

"Bayside Heating & Air did an outstanding job and truly met my needs. I called Bayside because of a referral from a friend. I scheduled an appointment with them for the next day. A representative came out (on time!) to review my current system and since my duct work was original to the house, it definitely needed to be replaced. It was filled with dirt, mold, and bacteria. No wonder my sinuses were so bad! I also needed a new a/c system as well. The representative took the time and explained what current system I had and what would be best for my home as well as my health (new filtration system too!) He also reviewed the price - which was very reasonable considering the amount of work I needed. The following day, a engineer came to my home to custom design a duct system that would provide the best air flow in my home. The current duct system I had was not constructed properly so my home was not receiving enough air flow. No wonder our house was so hot! The work was completed within 2 days. The crew was extremely quiet and respectful while I worked from home. They maintained cleanliness and professionalism throughout the entire process. My house feels and even smells better than ever! Its cold in every part of my home...no more hot spots...no more sweating at night! Please consider Bayside Heating & Air for you a/c and duct system. You will not be disappointed."

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.
