"very impressed----joe the estimator was very knowledgeable and not pushy-----gary the installer was super and very careful to clean up every little bit of dirt---mike who did the furnace tune was super ------------how often do you have a company so honest that when you ask to have a 20 year old furnace checked out----they do a very detailed check and show the details and they don't try to ram all sorts of repairs at you--they actually said everything is fine for now ( guess who I'll call when I need one }--they were right on par with 2 other companies I called for estimates----awesome job"

"Patrick started servicing our Furnace and Central Air conditioning systems a few years ago. He is so efficient, pleasant, and easy to work with that we specifically asked for him now twice a year for our annual Heating system check and also annually for our Air-conditioning system check. This trip he also had a trainee with him, and did a great job of allowing the trainee to do the work, but carefully supervising at the same time. Highly recommend!"

"We were without heat on a Sunday and Bob from Mamayek Heating called us within 5 minutes of us asking for help on line. Then, Bob came over on Sunday afternoon and was able to assess our need, make a recommendation on a new Lennox furnace and immediately checked on availability of the furnace and crew. Two hours later he had our furnace ordered and said he would have his team there at 930 am the next day. On time and with a furnace ready to install, Mamayek Heating, the knowledgeable experienced crew was able to remove our 21 year old furnace, put in new code pvc pipe and turn on the heat by 2 pm that afternoon..... 24 hours after I had my first contact with Mamayek Heating and all this at a great price. I highly recommend Bob at Mamayek Heating if your furnace goes out and you need a replacement. The entire crew had three objectives, to get us heat again professionally, economically, and with a ton of outstanding service. They delivered beyond expectations"

"Very well.  After the installation, half of  the radiators in the house did not work, so 2 guys came back the very next morning and were in and out in 45 minutes.  It was installed in a day.  Love the new system

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Waukesha, WI

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.
