"A great experience from a terrific team. After we were told by our (now past) HVAC company that we needed a new furnace, I called Design by Comfort for a second opinion. When I called their office, the woman I spoke to understood my situation immediately and had their team on my doorstep at 8:00 the next morning, on the dot as scheduled. Their service specialist took apart the furnace inspected it and showed me by video the heat exchanger that our original contractor told me was bad.
Based on his very thorough examination, we knew that the furnace did not need replacement.
Obviously, the first company did not tell us the truth about the condition of our furnace so as to sell us a new one even though it was not needed.
The Design by Comfort team was honest, professional, and highly responsive. They saved me thousands of dollars. When the time comes, and it always does, for us to get a new furnace, they will certainly get our business.

"This guy Vitale is great! He was very knowledgeable and honest! He did not try to tell me I need a new furnace like the other companies, even though that is mostly his business (installing new systems). He fired up my furnace and said I can definitely keep using my current furnace if I want to...that it was not necessary to replace it. If I decide to get a new furnace, I'm using him for sure!"

"Hoffman Cooling & Heating replaced my 2 gas furnaces which were each almost 30 yrs old. I first met with Andy to get an estimate. He was honest about what I actually needed. I was told that Hoffman Cooling & Heating strives to provide "good quality products at good prices" and I really felt like they honored that. When the team (Dan & his apprentice, Bobby, and Mike) came out to do the work they were on time, efficient, completed their work, and left the area clean. I asked a lot of questions and they were all willing to share information with me to help me understand the system and the work being done. I really got the impression that the owner, Scot, values his team, takes pride in the work his team does, and cares about those he provides service to. I would recommend HC&H to others."

"Responded quickly to come out and diagnose our furnace that had just died. After speaking with the dispatcher a technician arrived at our house within 30 minutes. Being that it was going to be about 17 degrees that night the technician left us with two space heaters to hold us over until we could get the furnace replaced. Two days later a crew came out to install the new furnace. These guys were excellent, one of the best crews that I have ever worked with leaving me with a great deal of confidence that the job was done right. From the initial call, the receptionist, the dispatcher, the technician, and the installation crew left me extremely pleased that I made the call to Aquarius and plan to use them in the future."

"Job: We had Randy's Electric install 6 canned lights on dimmer switches and fix some on-going electrical problems that we've had. Pretty simple, one-day job. Pros: Overall we thought the quality of work was very good. The canned light installation looks great and they fixed the other annoying electrical issues without a hitch. They completed the scope of work quickly and were very accommodating to getting us on booked on their schedule. They didn't leave a mess in the house at all and it appears as though they didn't need to access the attic to run the electrical lines for the cans. We were concerned over accessing the attic because we recently had an insulation job done and we didn't want that to be messed up if possible. A pretty simple job but they got it done with good workmanship and the priced seemed fair for electrical work. Cons: There were two main issues that we had with this project, one of which may be the result of us not being up-to-date with current canned lighting technology. The canned lights look great but according to feedback I got from Randy's Electric, the bulbs are built-in LED's with the trim fixture. So, no unscrewing a canned bulb, you have to pull the entire trim fixture out with the bulb inside to replace them. We were never consulted on this at all or other canned lighting options during the quote. Apparently, it was you get these canned lights and that's it. So, every time I need to change the fixture/bulb combo I have to called Randy's Electric for support? That doesn't seem cost effective for us. Apparently, the bulb/trim fixtures are guaranteed for 5 years but what happens after that? I guess I'm on my own to figure out how to swap these bulb/fixtures in the event that they go out. The other issue was that because we had that insulation job done in the attic, we were concerned over heat loss from punching the holes in the ceiling for the cans, which is a necessary thing but can result in significant heat loss. We were never advised from Randy's about how, or even if they do, seal the canned lights for heat loss. I hope they did, and based on the workmanship, they're probably sealed them, but we thought it would be good to know for sure. So, that's the reason for the 3.5 stars for customer service. Overall, we thought they did a good job and I'd hire them again but they need to be a little bit better during the quote process about detailed items as discussed above."

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.
