"James came to my rescue at 11pm when the furnace stopped working and the temps were subzero. He couldn't fix the problem that night but rigged space heaters and drafts to prevent pipes from bursting. He came back promptly the next day and fixed the issue-- he thought ahead to what he might need in the event of the worst case scenario (which it was) and had all the parts there. He showed me everything that was broken and walked me through the repair--i really appreciated the level of transparency with his approach. He suggested what to look for in future preventive maintenance visits to prevent the issue from recurring. He charged a very fair price too. Very nice and friendly guy who didn't mind my boisterous dogs running around. I would definitely call him again--highly recommend"

"Excellent service. Oscar and his crew go far and above what is necessary to fix or replace plumbing. They are very conscientious, courteous and respectful. They are also very considerate of your property, taking measures to insure that floors are kept clean and all debris is removed when they leave. I will hire Rardin Plumbing and Heating again, and I highly recommend them.

"We had many issues with our computer - primarily with the CD/DVD drive and iTunes. Jim eliminated over 700 viruses from our computer, which was just the beginning. There continued to be problems within the systems of the computer. Luckily Jim charges by the job and not by the hour because he worked a LONG time to make it all work. He kept in touch with me and addressed each issue as it arose until the job was done. He was professional and courteous and hung in there until I was satisfied he had addressed everything. I would highly recommend Jim and will definitely use his services in the future, as needed.

"The Technician seem to know his job and seems very experienced in it. He explained why the furnace was not allowing heat to through. There was a part that had to be checked every few years and cleaned. And he did it put the back inside the furnace and the heat started."

"Brian came out to consult and submit a bid. It went really well and he was really agreeable to all of our conditions. We had already received a number of bids for similar services which had a huge contingency cost for not tunneling under any appliances or a bathroom. We were able to keep the system continuous and Brian was confident in his team and took the risk of damage upon himself. per our contract.
Scheduling was SUPER easy and flexible. The guys were well qualified, hard working, and everything went as planned. The system has been in place for a month now and we are super happy with it. We immediately saw a difference in the warmth of the basement and could visually see the previously moist cracks in the flooring dry out. The system is contained in the utility room and we are now really confident in our ability to rebuild a finished basement over top without worries about dampness or "smelly basement". "

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.
