"Joyce Cooling and Heating installed a new high-efficiency Lennox furnace and air conditioner. The installation looks great and was professionally completed. The furnace is working fantastic and is so quiet we can't even hear it running. We are warm and comfortable all the time and the new high-efficiency design should save us money for many years to come. The technicians answered all of my numerous questions."

"Airco is a great family-owned and operated business, very fair and knowledgeable. They replaced our forced air central heating system (oil) in a day, and were quick to respond and get to work despite how busy things were during the January cold-spell. I would highly recommend for your heating and cooling needs!"

"Great experience working with Rob Wotton for our new furnace! Installed on time and quickly for a good price. It needed some adjusting and he responded quickly and took the time to make the adjustments and make sure everything was working properly. I highly recommend Wotton Heating!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"we have a crazy heating system; no one in the ten years we've had the house has really been able to figure it out. That's just life. When the heating stopped working (in January) we called Milltown. They were very responsive. We had a technician here in a day who figured out there was a leak. Finding the source, and how to isolate it was anything but simple. The tech in charge persisted (figured out, in fact that the system had been piped wrong) and solved the problem over the course of a day and a half. Many would have thrown up their hands or managed some bad technical band-aid. It was expensive (but plumbing sort of always is, and I don't think this rose to the level of unfair), but importantly the system is now better understood and there's no more leak. On top of that all of my questions were answered and the work was done well. Highly recommended."

"Great family run business. Installed a Mitsubishi mini-split in our detached garage. I needed to reschedule our first install day and they were very flexible. Install day came, unit was installed as planned, area was cleaned up like they were never there. Would also recommend using their electrician. Very fair price and great work. Value for your money can’t be beat. Highly recommend Shawn Conger and his wife. Great team!"

"I recently had a brand new HVAC system installed for both heating and cooling, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The team at Comfort Professor was extremely professional from start to finish. They worked efficiently, paid attention to every detail, and left everything spotless when the job was done. The cleanup was perfect, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality work and a smooth, hassle-free installation!"

"Our AC unit failed at the end of last season. Jason from Milltown came to our house to review our needs and made a recommendation to our satisfaction. I reviewed all of the data supplied and being an engineer I was totally satisfied with their recommendation. In addition the price was better than I expected. They came early this morning to install a new AC unit with a heat pump. Scott and Joe were are installers plus three others showed up later to support them. My wife and I are in our mid seventies on a fixed income. When our existing system failed and being confined to our home, we had our backs up against the wall. Milltown Plumbing & Heating respected who we are and bent over backwards to help us to have a comfortable home during this pandemic. We are truly grateful to Milltown Plumbing & Heating for helping us and we highly recommend them for your AC and heating needs. Wes M"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Townsend, MA

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.
