Below is the original review that was completed before Amtek showed their professionalism and concern for customer satisfaction and corrected the situation. 


Original Review:


I think Amtek is a victim of their success.  I have a service contract for my AC, and in the past all my dealings (cleanings, etc.) were very satisfactory.  On October 24th my electric bill that was almost 4 times higher than normal.  Florida Power & Light verified that I had a surge at my home that lasted more than 24 hours.  As a result, the AC compressor was not going off; the surge had probably burned out the thermostat.  I ordered a new Honeywell programmable thermostat from Amazon (on sale from $100 to $55).

I contacted Amtek, explained that I had an electric surge and that the compressor was not turning off.  They scheduled the service call, then tried to reschedule late in the day when the technician was due.  Technician came out, checked the system and verified that the thermostat was fried.  He refused to install the new thermostat I had purchased because it was not purchased from Amtek. Since I was stuck, I had little choice but to agree to have them install a new thermostat from their stock - $225.

The technician was new and did not seem to be very knowledgeable about the electronics of the air handler system - he failed to identify a resistor in the air handler electronics.  Luckily my neighbor is a mechanic, was there to explain the electronics in the air handler to the technician and suggested the technician test the resistor.  The technician stated that was a good idea and my neighbor showed him how to test the resistor.  it was fine.

The Amtek technician did determine that the motherboard on the air handler was also fried, but never noticed that, as a result, the heating system was operating and would not shut down.  The technician informed us that replacing the motherboard would cost $785 and recommended a whole new system for $5,250.  When asked about the possibility of just replacing the air handler rather than the entire system, the technician stated that would void the 10-year warranty on the AC system.  

I decided to get a second opinion, paid the Amtek technician the outrageous $225 for the thermostat and called Boyle AC, a local company near my home that also carries Rheem.  We did not tell Boyle the information we had been given by the Amtek technicia.  Boyle came out, verified that the old thermostat had been bad, inspected the new thermostat and reinstalled the new thermostat because the Amtek installation appeared shoddy with lots of extra wiring.  Boyle also verified that the air handler motherboard was fried and Boyle determined that the heating system was staying on as a result, causing a big increase in electical usage.  Boyle replaced the motherboard and charged me a total of $175 for the service call, diagnosis, fixing the thermostat installation, and installing a new motherboard in the air handler.  The system is now running great.

"Wanting to add more solar I was lucky enough to hooked up with Matt Mishler a very knowledgeable sales representative. Matt reviewed my last 12 months electric bills and was able to recommend a system that has eliminated my electric bill. Matt was a little aggressive on the installation timeframe but was there for me every step of the way as we addressed any unforeseen delays. Matt was always there when I had questions or concerns and was very responsive. End result I have the system I wanted and it's functioning properly. I would diffidently use Matt again if I need to in the future."

"Last September, 2016 we had Service America Enterprise replace our air conditioning unit.  The price is hard to say because I didn't take any other estimates from other companies but them.  So I don't know what competing estimates would have been.  I think it was like $3400.  They were late in showing up.  I would use them again in the future but I don't know if it would be for air conditioning. "

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Lake Placid, FL

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.
