"Cline’s Heating & Air was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We had a heat pump installed and the entire process was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. Their team is hands down one of the most polite and professional crews we’ve ever worked with. They showed up on time, communicated clearly, and were respectful of our home every step of the way. They made sure we understood all of our options without ever feeling pressured. What really stood out was their honesty — they truly live up to their “repair first” mindset and focus on what’s best for the customer, not just the most expensive option. The installation was done efficiently with great attention to detail, and everything was left spotless when they finished. You can tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy HVAC company, I highly recommend Cline’s. We’ll definitely be using them again!"

Customers say: Quick response
"I had a few plumbing jobs that Michael completed exceptionally well. First the initial meeting was great I told him the result I wanted and he advised me of how to get the those results, he was very patient and explained things. He gave me a written estimate and cost for everything broken down so I could pick and choose what I wanted done and what I could afford at the time. He fixed a broken pipe and installed an outside faucet, in addition I have had problems with the pipe installation of my irrigation system for the past 15 plus years I have lived at this location. Michael rerouted the pipes so the main water actually exited the home through the foundation and streamlined the entire system so it is lower to the ground, configured to reduce the risk of freezing and I am now able to access it easily. I also had him install a water softener and a mixer on the hot water tank. I really wanted a gas hot water tank and he explained why the cost of ventilating a gas water heater would not be in my best interest. The existing water tank was not installed per code so he redid the piping on the water heater so it is now per code. Over all I am really pleased with all the work and information Michael did at my home, he is very definitely "My Guy" for all plumbing needs."

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.
