"The only reason everything is not all 5's is because how expensive the job was. They had several different finance options and I was able to choose one to fit my budget. Other than that, everything is great. The plumber was extremely professional and would take the time to explain things to me. Also had a drain repaired under the house and a pressure regulator installed. I also had Robert Q. He is top notch."

"I have Addison perform repairs on my house in South Lake Tahoe several times. I am repeat customer because of the high quality and very reasonable price. Once I have him over to do a small job and after that I knew that I will be inviting him for much bigger projects. He can do pretty much everything from plumbing to sheetrock replacement to nice paint jobs. I highly recommend his services."

"I'm so happy I went with Hometown Air for my furnace/heat pump project. They were amazing to work with and very focused on customer service. Everything was clearly explained throughout the process. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to make sure I knew what happening with the project. The end result is beyond what I hoped for."

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.
