"I have nothing but praises to sing for this company! Our heat stopped working on us last week right before the temp was expected to drop significantly. I checked Angie's List, found Air Temp Solutions, submitted my issue and within minutes I received a phone call to set my appointment. They sent over Rob Teixeira who was EXCELLENT!!!! He immediately detected the issue which was the flame sensor, fixed it and viola...we had heat again in no time! We are planning on doing further work with this company as we need to have an additional return grille installed. If you need fast and reliable heating or AC this company (and Rob) is who you should go with...you will not be disappointed!!!"

"Just a few minutes after looking on Angi, I received a call back from Major League. Within an hour someone was at my house to diagnose the problem... and may I add this was early on a Sunday morning. After discovering I needed a new outside unit I was immediately scheduled for the first available appointment, which was the upcoming Friday. Despite heavy rain in the area on that morning, they showed up on time, battled the muddy conditions ( they were all soaked and muddy ) in my yard and finished an hour ahead of schedule. Top notch company and I highly recommend them to anyone needing HVAC service"

"I worked with Joshua, wanted him to change my old thermostat to nest model but he informed me that the kind of thermostat I have is the best quality and more expensive than the one I intended on installing which I did not know. He was very informative about my heating system, reset my humidifier and reconnected my old thermostat which I had removed and didn't charge me for it. He's very humble and professional, I would highly recommend him he knows his stuff."

"They're very responsive. There were some trouble with the system but they got it. They were persistent and got it fixed. There were problems with the system. I'm not sure whose fault it was that there were problems with a brand new system. I think it was very reasonable."

"Steve was great. He not only did an excellent job, but he also walked the rest of our house to give us some suggestions on how we could improve the comfort of our house. Things went very well and we signed up for a yearly service contract for our heating and A/C."

"Excellent job. Hired to remove old thermostat and replace with new Nest thermostat. After installation, he tested the new thermostat to make sure that it was working properly. Very courteous. Also requested that he assist in locating and changing air filter. He located, removed, cleaned and replaced with no extra charge. Would definitely recommend for future work."

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.
