Bought my new furnace from them a few years ago and North Pittsburgh Heating canâ t be beat for pricing, quality and service. Dan was out today for a furnace check and small AC fix, and he was absolutely wonderfulâ so nice, knowledgeable and took care of everything quickly and thoroughly. Great company and people for all your heating and cooling needs!"

"This guy was very professional and he knew what he was doing. I thought I would need a whole new furnace so I put off calling someone to help me for a couple weeks. Thank God I didn't need a new furnace and he found the problem. And it didnâ  t cost me an arm and a leg. As a senior citizen, it gets scary to call for help nowadays. God bless this company, and I will be sure to call them in the future if I need help,"

"I feared needing an entire new furnace, but tech replaced capacitor quickly and furnace worked all winter without problems. No additional cost for coming on a Saturday. Only regret was not calling Friday evening when the problem started. Called Saturday morning and problem solved by early afternoon."

"Matt from Home Mechanix came to fix a problem with our aging natural gas furnace. Despite a difficult troubling shooting effort, he was able to find new parts and repair the problem in just a few days. He was personable, on-time, and charged us a fair price."

"Very professional and high-tech serviceman. He did not rush. He took the time to diagnose the problem with the heat exchanger in our furnace. We have a very old furnace in a property we rent. He made us feel comfortable the furnace can make the winter. Would highly recommend Kennilhan. Great company."

"I had a fifty year old furnace that provided its last breath on the coldest day of the year and John the owner saw to it that I was financed and gave me a very good price. It was flawlessly installed the next day by his courteous staff and they hauled away the old furnace too. Great job! Thank you."

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.
