"This was my first time hiring anyone from Angi so I was a bit apprehensive, but it worked out wonderfully. Robert contacted me almost immediately after I left a message. He was able to fit my job in about 2 days later which was great (it wasn’t an emergency). I didn’t meet him personally but my tenants said he was polite and cleaned up after himself. He’s very easy to communicate with (calls, texts), shows up on time and gets the job done. I would definitely use Brooks Heating & Air Conditioning again."

"Our HVAC system was not working well, was +20 years old, and BOSH Home Solutions did a great job changing the full system and taking care of cleaning all the line. The team was very pro, fast, efficient, all for a fair price! Highly recommend!!"

"I rated a 4 on price only because I didn't shop around with other companies. The central AC needed to be replaced and it was more of an emergency situation. All other categories were a 5. They came very quickly and replaced the system in about 4 hours."

Repaired my heating system and installed a new hot water heater. He is reliable, knowledgeable , answered all my questions, prompt, affordable and friendly. Definitely reccomend him for these mechanical needs."

"Mike and his assistant replaced my seriously outdated smoke detectors in the basement and first floor, replaced a second floor smoke detector with a combo smoke/carbon monoxide detector and in the attic replaced a heat detector. While at my house, they also looked at a poorly installed outlet in the basement and brought it up to standard and installed an outlet on my front porch! They were quick and extremely helpful and left no mess behind. I will definitely call MKS Electric again if I need any further electrical work done at my house."

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.
