"Let's start with the estimate. The owner himself, showed up to give me an estimate. Tyler is quite a driven young man. He kept the appointment time, was prompt and courteous. He COULD have sold me a super expensive setup. Instead, he looked at the issue, found that my system needs work. My a.c. went out on the hottest week we've had. He found the issue, was willing to fix it just to save me some money. He explained the pros and cons of fixing vs repair. We all know that service that comes out and does this and then slaps you with a crazy high estimate. I had this guys competitor come out the other day and gave me some ridiculous estimate. I wouldn't recommend Polar heating and cooling to anyone. But Comfort Wizards came out and gave me the best estimate I've had. He also offered me a 5% EMS discount! On top of the best estimate I've had!! I believe its a good practice to work with local companies and Comf0rt Wizards is the one im going with."

"Chose him due to the reviews and the price was right for my budget. The contractor who did the installation was good. Only thing I didn’t like was the fishing tactics like Mr Jackson was willing to upgrade the thermostat but after furnace was installed, nope. He said one I had was still good. Also the bullying to put in the reviews for the company. See that’s why he got 5 stars."

"Daniel from Imperial Electric did an excellent job for us. We had a relatively small issue that he rectified for us very quickly and then did a very thorough inspection of our entire house at our request. He made a number of recommendations to upgrade our old electrical system that were practical, reasonable and in line with current codes."
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.
