"Pros * Very friendly and prompt customer service in setting up a service call and completing product orders * Only $59 initial charge for initial diagnosis fee (this charge for weekdays; $85 for weekends) * Technician was extremely personable/friendly; thoroughly and patiently explained every step of his work * For products to be purchased to complete repairs, the technician thoroughly explained how products would improve performance and patiently helped us to find the most affordable solution. * Decent rates for products purchased for repairs. * For the past month, the installed products have significantly improved performance as we have had no freeze-ups of the coil and we experience better cooling. Cons None experienced From the initial call to the end of the product installation, we were thoroughly pleased with the service of Smith Air Conditioning. I have never worked with such an overtly friendly technician; he went out of his way to be nice to my family and me. We had many questions for him as we have been stiffed by AC companies in the past, but he was quite patient with us and explained solutions in a way that made good sense. Further, the secretary at the Smith AC office was very friendly as well, and they were quite prompt and getting a technician out to our place, in placing product orders, and in ensuring that our unit was working better. Additionally, we found the pricing for the products we purchased to be affordable, and the tech did not try to strong-arm us to purchase anything. Finally, for the past month, the products installed have improved the cooling performance of the AC, and the products are working as promised to ensure that the AC does not freeze up on cooler nights. If you choose this company for AC repairs, I sincerely believe that you will be thankful for your excellent choice for years to come. Thanks to Quenton (our AC technician) and all the staff at Smith Air Conditioning for exemplary service. Update: 01/21/2021 Smith Air sent Andrea out to us to have another look at our AC as the handler coil continues to freeze though a freeze stat was recently installed. Upon his arrival, we noticed how friendly and easy-going he was. After observing and analyzing the unit operation, he determined that the freeze stat was connected properly, hence, he was unsure as to why it is not performing well. However, we agreed that adding refrigerant as we were a bit low would help to lower the likelihood of the coil freezing until we resolved the freeze stat issue. So, after the refrigerant was added, we quickly noticed the house cooling faster. Over the next several days, we will continue working with Smith Air to hopefully resolve our problems with freeze stats. Throughout the visit of Andrea, he was friendly and fully willing to answer all our questions. He also provided professional, sensible explanations which my folks and I appreciated. We are truly grateful for the help of Andrea, and we are thankful for the commitment and understanding in working through this strange freeze stat problem. In all my years working with HVAC companies, I have never been as pleased and impressed as I have been with Smith Air. Thanks to you all."

"I originally reached out to Eagle regarding insulation under my house. We discussed that job and then we discussed attic insulation, which I knew to be a problem, and they were able to complete both jobs at the same time. Dustin is very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions on the spot. All of the people that I have come into contact with, from Dustin and Justin to the workers involved and the salesman and office staff, were pleasant, courteous, and professional. The work was done well and at what I believe was a very fair price."

"Very extensive HVAC knowledge for both residential and commercial systems. Very professional and easy to work with."
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.
