"I was able to get a same-day appointment, and Abraham showed up right on time. He took a look at the system and confirmed that the furnace was running as expected, and he didn’t find evidence of a cracked heat exchanger. I was hoping for a definitive answer as to why the air wasn’t flowing out of several of my vents, but he was only able to confirm that it wasn’t due to the furnace itself. I may have clogged or separated ductwork behind the walls, but he wasn’t able to diagnose/confirm. At least I know the furnace itself isn’t the source."

"2020, whew! COVID, lockdowns... and for me, a catastrophic failure of our home heating boiler, and breaking just before a CT cold spell was going to hit. Mike's technician visited for attempted repair, promptly as he had said they would, and unfortunate for me, this was not a repair, but I needed to get a new boiler. So, after agreeing to what model was best for my home (natural gas, combi-boiler replacement-in-kind but different manufacturer - I went with Mike's recommendation), his team came in the following day early, as promised, and completed the removal of old and installation of new boiler that same day. Mike's technician doing the work was professional, friendly and courteous, answered the questions I had and cleaned up proper after all the work was done. If there were more than 5 stars available, I would give them for this job, and i'm very grateful for his superquick response to both my initial call and to getting the installation of the new boiler done in what was essentially a next day order. I had called other service providers and it seemed like I wasn't the only New England customer with boiler problems, other providers couldn't make it out to the house until 3, 4 days after I called. Fairfield County Htg & Cooling/Mike was able to respond literally right away. Thank you for that, sir - and Merry Christmas! 5 Stars all the way! Juan R. in Trumbull CT"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Schede Plumbing and Heating, and they were a lifesaver when it came to fixing my central air issues. As a new homeowner, I’ve been faced with different challenges every day, but knowing who you can trust and ask for help makes all the difference. I was fortunate to be introduced to Schede Plumbing and Heating, and they exceeded my expectations. From the moment I called, they were quick to respond and provided a thorough analysis of the problem. They walked me through the options and suggested the most practical and affordable solution. I was serviced by two highly professional, polite, and skilled technicians, Paul and Randy, who were truly exceptional. Paul and Randy were efficient, trustworthy, and very customer-focused. They assured me that they wouldn’t leave until my issue was fixed and took the time to ensure no other issues were lurking. Their dedication to solving my problem and their attention to detail were impressive. I cannot recommend Schede Plumbing and Heating enough. They are a reliable and professional team who genuinely care about their customers and their work. Thank you, Paul and Randy, for your excellent service!"

"I was having a problem with my oil furnace on a cold night and made an emergency request to Wtech22. Within minutes I received a phone call back from a PRO asking me how they could help. Then Wilson arrived within the hour to my house, was very professional and was able to fix the problem very fast. The Pro was able to take apart my furnace to find the problem, had all spare parts needed at hand, and I had him clean and do maintains to the furnace at the same time since he was already here. Thank you WTECH22 and Wilson for taking all the stress from me and getting our heat working fast on this cold night at a great price. Keep up the good work and I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family."

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.
