"Fred is very professional, polite, honest, and a person of his word. Gave us a great quote, and stuck to it to the penny! Was actually 15 minutes early when he came to remove our 22 year old furnace and some of the ductwork and install a new 96% energy efficient gas furnace, and a humidifier. He told us the job would take 4-5 hours to complete, and it took him 5 hours, but that included cleaning up too. Left his work area clean, and even took the old furnace and duct work with him. Did a fantastic job, and we love our new Goodman furnace. We had gotten 4 quotes from different Heating & Cooling companies, and he was the most reasonable by far. My husband and I both liked Fred after meeting him and talking to him for a while, and knew he would be our choice to put in our new furnace. We highly recommend Fred Vanderstelt for your heating and cooling needs!"

"What started as a service call for my furnace that wouldn't start evolved into a full system replacement. Techs Paul & Dallen arrived within a few hours of my initial contact, and had restored heat within a couple more hours. Due to the age of my system and other developing problems they detected, they recommended meeting with their Home Comfort Advisor for an estimate. That appointment was made on the spot and Duncan came next day. If I have a word of caution, it would be that this IS a proficient salesman. He examined the system and home, discussed options and had me signed up and financed within 3 hours. The Grapids team arrived next morning to install furnace, AC and water heater. All was done in a day, and is working great so far. Other reviewers have called them "pushy;" I'd call them a local company doing their best to survive during trying times."

"Excellent. They explained the process to us before starting, took before and after photos of the ducts. They worked hard and cleaned up thoroughly when they finished."

"Prompt, very friendly, They knew the equipment very well. Did the job faster than told when they started, and they needed to run 3 new heat air runs ! Very profesional work ( I work in maintenance and know a quality job) They cleaned up after themselves, removed old unit and took it with them. I could not be more happy with the job they done. If I every need servicing of the furnace in the years to come, I would spend the exta cost of travel to have those guys fix the furnace. And no I never met the person before they installed the furnace. Very content Don S."

"We had many issues with our computer - primarily with the CD/DVD drive and iTunes. Jim eliminated over 700 viruses from our computer, which was just the beginning. There continued to be problems within the systems of the computer. Luckily Jim charges by the job and not by the hour because he worked a LONG time to make it all work. He kept in touch with me and addressed each issue as it arose until the job was done. He was professional and courteous and hung in there until I was satisfied he had addressed everything. I would highly recommend Jim and will definitely use his services in the future, as needed.

"The service person called and got permission to perform a labor intensive install instead of an easy day of tune ups, so I would have heat for the weekend. He performed a walk through of areas to see what heating duck would benefit from some extra insulation.
Complete explanation of how my heating system works. WOW, I know for sure this was a person dedicated to put the customer needs first. Now I want to say that it was inside this person, Matt, which means if this represents Vander Hyde, go with them."
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.
