"Affordable Heating and Cooling did an amazing job installing my new split system on New Years Eve!! Dave the owner, was in constant communication with me from start to finish and was meticulous with all aspects of the project. They were very neat and cleaned everything back to the way it looked before the project began. A pleasure to work with and he even gave me a bunch of free advise about other aspects of my nearly 100 year old heating system. They will be my first call if I have any other heating or cooling needs!"

"First, the bottom line. Hudson Valley Air Control (David Coates) installed a two zone heat pump system. They did the work for the price they quoted, when they said they would complete the work and system is working well. More detail. We replaced a 20 year old oil heat/central air system with two Bosch heat pumps. We got several quotes of which Hudson Valley Air was the least expensive, partially because they were confident the new system would provide enough heat to the kitchen/dining room without running additional ductwork when others questioned if it would (it does). The installation wasnâ t without issues. One of the heat pumps didnâ t run properly. It took some effort to figure out the problem was a defective thermostat. David Coates/Hudson Valley Air was with us throughout, including a late evening visit to iron out some of the kinks. I wholeheartedly recommend David and his firm."

"We hired Joe's Plumbing to repair a leak in our heating system and we were very pleased. Although there was a small problem with the initial repair, Joe responded immediately to our call and fixed the problem. He was punctual, courteous, tidy and later telephoned us to make sure the issue was completely resolved. We highly recommend him."

"I hired MDJ to look at the options we had with our old central a/c unit. After considering everything we decided to install a new unit. MDJ did not pressure me in any way, & they were quick to respond. Our new a/c is installed & working fine so far. It only took 3 days in total to meet up, & get the new unit installed. I'm very glad we found MDJ."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Poughkeepsie, NY

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.
