"I had American Mechanical install a heat pump system in September of 2012. At the time, I purchased a ten-year warranty. A capacitor recently burned out, and American Mechanical honored the warranty, making the repair at no cost to me."

"Overall the service was great. The problem was a bad board on the HVAC system. The technician removed the board and shoed me the damaged part of the board. He was able to order a replacement board within 24 hours and installed the board along with the pilot light and a thermostat. Before you know it, our heat was back up and running in no time. M&J are truly a professional and up front HVAC service that I would with out any question recommend to anyone for great professional service Many thanks to M&J for their excellent service. The Heat is back up and running."

"Dran plumbing was very professional, prompt, and accurate to resolve our problems. His recommendation to install a complete new hvac system was sound. Upon making my decision to replace the full unit, Dran was able to do a complete removal and replacement the very next day. Perfect choice and worth the money spent. I would hire him again and again and again. Hes quick and knows his stuff! Kudos to you Dran and your team. Thanks home advisor for qualifying these pros."

"I am very satisfied with the work done by Worley’s. I had a new HVAC system installed to replace an 18 year old system that had quit working. The price was competitive but the warranty and included maintenance sold me. The technicians that came to install my system were punctual, polite and efficient. It did take a little longer than expected due to some material issues but I was kept informed of the progress and delays throughout the process and I appreciated the attention to detail rather than rushing the job. Overall, this was a very smooth and easy process and I would absolutely recommend them for your HVAC needs."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Newport News, 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.
