"I’m overly pleased with the work that Wells HVAC provided me. The heating/cooling in my home was antiquated, inefficient & unreliable. However, Michael & his expert-tech remedied those solutions for me. In addition to that; they were punctual in arrival times, they were neat & tidy, and something that stood out to me was their politeness! It feels so good not to be stressed about an unreliable climate & atmosphere in my home now thanks to Wells HVAC. I have, and will continue to highly recommend them to my friends, family, and associates. If you’re on the limb about getting a service done or whom to get it done by… Just call Michael, I promise there will be no regrets or disappointment!"

"Excellent! This is the way Angie's List is supposed to work. Sent out a request for estimate (work is described as above) through Angie's List to JM Stephens Plumbing and Heating on Thursday, August 23. I think it was less than an hour that Jim got back to me. He sent a very reasonable estimate, so we called and set up a time for the next day (Friday) - as there happened to be a time slot convenient for both of us. Everything from contacting Jim to getting an estimate to setting a time and finally, completely the job in expert fashion was all done within 24 hours!! I can see why he has high ratings. Very, very good on communication (actually, as a long time Angie's List subscriber, I think this is a record time for me), knows his craft, reasonable cost (estimate was spot on, too), professional and very courteous. Would not hesitate to use him again."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Whaleyville, MD

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.
