"From the quote to the install everyone was top notch. The price was very competitive to the other quotes I got. I picked Kohl because the owner that came to my house was very knowledgeable about the product he was selling me and answered all my questions I had for him. The install team led by Barry was second to none in their workmanship. They were very detail oriented during my installation. The install took two days and when they finished they cleaned up and left my house like no one was ever there. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking for a fair price and excellent installation. Theyâ re an A plus in my book!! Job well done Kohl Heating Service. Thanks again!!"

"I feared needing an entire new furnace, but tech replaced capacitor quickly and furnace worked all winter without problems. No additional cost for coming on a Saturday. Only regret was not calling Friday evening when the problem started. Called Saturday morning and problem solved by early afternoon."

"They were able to fit us in so we didn't have to do without heat. They replaced a part the same day I called in to hold us over so we had heat until they could replace the whole furnace 2 days later. The men were were very efficient and knowledgeable. We couldn't be more pleased and will be using them for other items when needed. The office staff was very courteous and made us feel well taken care of."

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.
