"I needed quick service on a 45 year old hot water boiler in a 1938 house I recently purchased.  While I could get the pilot light lit, nothing I did could get the boiler to fire (water was circulating).
On Wednesday I contacted Pelletier Mechanical as Gary (the owner) had been out giving me estimates on the various repairs and modifications I wanted to make.  While Gary was out of the office training (again), Laura his admin arranged for Bill to come out on Friday.  She provided an estimated cost (right on) and a 2 hour window.
Bill showed up on time and after a brief discussion get right to work.  Bill spent about 15 mins. systematically determining why the flame would not light.  He discovered that there the gas was not making it to the main control valve.  He reset the safety shut off valve and the problem was solved.  He then checked all the radiators to make sure that hot water was making it through out the house.  After we determined that the upstairs radiators were not getting hot, Bill checked the water pressure and determined that the pressure was insufficient to fill the upstairs radiators in "real  time".  He suggested that the culprit was the 45 year old water valve and pressure release valve which being cast iron tend to corrode and clog in time.  He proposed a replacement solution and priced it out, and offered to pick up the parts and replace the valves that afternoon.  I decided to wait a few weeks so I could consider replacing the entire boiler.
While we were waiting on the boiler to come up to heat, Bill and I walked through the basement looking at the existing plumbing, tracing the water flow path and discussing the possibility of replacing the hot water tank with a tankless unit. (The hot water run is about 60-65 feet from HW tank to kitchen, bathrooms, etc.)  Bill, like Gary, is knowledgeable and informative.
I will have Pelletier Mechanical  back to do more work on the house."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Northfield, CT

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.
