"I have had air systems mechanical install my high efficiency furnace few years ago and recently install my central air. Their prices are lower than the rest. They are always courteous and professional from salesman to office staff. I have nothing negative to say. Always on time for routine furnace tune up appointments. A great company to deal with."

"This guy was very professional and he knew what he was doing. I thought I would need a whole new furnace so I put off calling someone to help me for a couple weeks. Thank God I didn't need a new furnace and he found the problem. And it didnâ  t cost me an arm and a leg. As a senior citizen, it gets scary to call for help nowadays. God bless this company, and I will be sure to call them in the future if I need help,"

"Wow! We laughed about how my new furnace moved me into the 21st century. And I added central air...all for a reasonable amount. The contractor explained the pros and cons of what was available and we came upon a great heating & cooling system. I felt bad they had to work so hard to remove the old furnace but they were professional throughout. I absolutely love my lower utility bills!"

"Sean is the best!!! He was on time, very professional and great prices. Sean went above and beyond with my a/c and have installation. Prior to installation of heating and a/c he had replaced some vents and a rusted piece of pipe in my basement. Sean is very conscientious about his work and leaves the place very neat. I highly reccomend Temp-Rite Heating for your next service or replacement of HVAC & A/C"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Pittsburgh, PA

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.
