"Rakim and his son performed routine maintenance on my heat pump system to prepare it for the summer. They did a very thorough job of cleaning the condenser coils, the condensate drain system, and installing a new air circulation filter. They also checked all of the operating parameters for proper performance. Rakim was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable during all aspects of the job. His overall performance was outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone needing work on their HVAC system."

"I put off replacing my furnace b/c of so many bad experiences…..& I wanted to do some research before hiring someone to replace it. Unfortunately it went out again & I needed someone immediately. I took a chance & called Armstrong after reading reviews. They came out quickly, recommended replacement & provided all information up front. They thoroughly addressed all my concerns…. they were professional, on time and treated my home like their own. I’m very satisfied"

"I needed my 26 year old Rheem HVAC unit & ducting replaced for the downstairs unit of my house. I had multiple contractors come out and bid the job. Wes Taylor came out and provided an estimate next day after my call. He did a thorough inspection of the system and showed me that the heat exchanger on my furnace had significant cracks, warning me of the potential CO hazard. He was the only contractor to catch this. Wes then ran through the calculations and came up with the best price for a new replacement unit. He was also able to get the work scheduled the same week and took care of removing an old humidifier on my upstairs unit at no extra charge. The technician's Derek & Mosess were on time, courteous, properly Covid protected, and knocked the work out quickly. They also handled an unexpected mold abatement issue that was discovered at the time of the install and added UV lights to both systems. I'm amazed at what a difference there now is in the air quality inside my home. I can't recommend these guys enough!"

"I had an outstanding experience with Verlander’s. Jason and Trevor were great! They were prompt, professional, incredibly kind and very affordable from start to finish. I reached out on a Monday, and they were at my home the very next day. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my HVAC system and fixed it the same day, which was such a relief. Their efficiency, professionalism, genuine kindness and fair pricing truly set them apart. It’s rare to find a company that delivers this level of service, and I’m genuinely grateful. I’ll absolutely continue doing business with them in the future, and I’ve already started referring friends and family. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in New Kent, VA

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.
