"John was honest and up front about everything. He repaired a tankless water heater that no one else was even willing to look at. I will go to him first for any other jobs that come up. He has my absolutely best rating."

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

"Reliable, affordable and professional. Scott and his crew did an amazing job in replacing my 27 year old HVAC system. Work was fast, efficient and clean. He beat all other competitors in terms of pricing and service. I will definitely hire Sheafer Mechanical again and/ or refer them to friends and neighbors.."

"Great experience Justin, Nate & Timothy were awesome. Very knowledgeable, professional & curious. Aside from the cleanliness they delivered an experience. I highly recommend HL bowman if you want rapid service on your HVAC. Pricing was reasonable in my opinion & financing is an option. Keep in mind when seeking quotes for your HVAC repair/ new install you must consider performance over equipment, that is if your want a good system that will have a good run/life span."

"Aire Serv installed my air conditioner in record time. They were very efficient. It took only 3.5 hours to install the Klimaire mini split system. I will hire them again if I install another Klimaire mini split air conditioner system."

"My home air conditioning wasn't functioning properly. Will Stahl analyzed the problem and had a replacement unit installed in less than 24 hours on the hottest day of the year! You cannot get better or more reliable service that Stahl's Mechanical! And great conversation too!"

"Had a new compete geothermal system and duct work installed to replace old oil furnace and coal stove. Installation team was top notch always professional and on time. Endured my on going questions through out the entire project which was completed very quickly with little interruption to normal house hold functions. A minor over sight required a service tech to come back out later but was also very professional and explained what happened and answered all questions. First time hiring a contractor for home work and was very nervous in selecting the correct company. No doubt I'd hire again and recommend to anyone looking for heating cooling solutions."

"Freedom came promptly to give estimate. I had scheduled to have them come at 8 am instead of 7 am. They came at 7 am. Once they came, they were good in explaining what they did and did it professionally and cleaned up We are extremely happy with our new kitchen sink light and new kitchen outlet. We had the 100 AMP subpanel installed to put in a Heat Pump. When our Heat Pump installer had a question for them, they quickly spoke with them. I would hire them again."

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.
