"These guys are the best! They taught me so much about my home HVAC system, both the pros and cons. They take so much pride in the results they provide it is almost as if they were the ones that installed the system in the first place even though they weren't although i wish they had because we definitely would not be having the issues we are having had these guys been in charge during the installation."

"We needed to install a heating system that would provide us even heat throughout our house. We contacted Lakes Region HVAC LLC to discuss options. Sam Darche’ the owner met with us and gave us his opinion. . We discussed and decided together on a a ducted heat pump system. Sam was professional, prompt, polite, and helpful. He left to give us an estimate. Sam’s price was unbelievable! We thought that he must have forgotten something! No , he hadn’t! We hired him for the job . He was tireless to meet our needs. He went the extra mile to install our whole system in little over a week while we away. We felt confident in his ability. Our home is now warm and toasty. His price did NOT change from his estimate that he gave us. He completed the project completely and expertly . He followed through with everything that he promised. Thank you Sam for all that you did for us and our home. Stephen and Lisa"

"Techs were very nice. Took time to put mats down on my carpets to keep them clean. Explained how to operate the heat pump and gave suggestions on how to make it function most efficiently. Everything was cleaned up before they left, they even vacuumed! So glad I went with LaPlante for my heat pump! Bev"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Wells, ME

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.
