"Chris was quick to respond to our request for a quote for a new furnace. We had requested quotes from several other companies and most didn't respond, call back or show up when they said they would. He was very friendly & knowledgeable. He sent us a quote the same day. We are very happy with our choice to have CMA Heating & Air install our new furnace. We would highly recommend him!"

Customers say: True professional

"I have an older furnace that was in need of repair, and Mark did an outstanding job from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the unit and explain everything along the way. With winter approaching, needless to say, I was a little nervous about the situation, but Mark immediately put my mind at ease. He encouraged me to ask questions throughout the process and was incredibly patient, even with my daughter (who is basically my mini-me!) watching and asking questions of her own. His pricing was more than fair, and he had my heat up and running in no time. He didn't just fix the immediate problem; he took the time to troubleshoot the entire system and made sure I felt confident that we'd be able to get through the winter. I really can't say enough good things about Mark. It's not often you come across someone who is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely cares about the people he's helping. Thank you, Mark, for doing such an amazing job!"

"ARS did a fantastic job! #NETR (see my Google review of NETR) had come out to service my boiler/hot water heater. Instead of servicing it they destroyed it beyond repair. I reached out to ARS and they came out the next day and were able to confirm the boiler was no longer repairable, but they quickly got me an estimate for a new furnace and once approved, did the install quickly and were able to get my hot water and heater up and running again. I met a number of the ARS team during this process and all were professional and patient while I asked a number of questions about the recommended boiler, the install process and more. They also were willing to work with me on height of the input/output pipes which are located right outside the front door of my downstairs neighbor. Highly recommend ARS for your heating/hot water needs. I'm going to be looking to expand their services to include maintaining my HVAC system next spring/summer. Also, the only reason I rated the value for money as a 4 star rather than 5 is that I need to spend some time with the system before considering making it a 5. I suspect I will make that change but am not there just yet."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in New Bedford, MA

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.
