"I had a heat pump system that died. I must have called at least 10 contractors and was living with no heat for 2 weeks before I got in touch with Cawiamca. Jeremy contacted me back quickly after I submitted a request for a quote, he was able to come out first thing the next day. Out of all the contractors that came out to look at my old system, Jeremy was one of a few who looked at my system thoroughly and was the only one that was honest with me about the old lineset and suggested another solution, the mini split system, which is a cheaper option for me. He provided me a quote the same day and was able to start the job as soon as I agreed. His team arrived on time first thing in the morning, finished the job quickly and beautifully, cleaned up after themselves and removed my old system. I have to mention that Jeremy was very responsive whenever I have questions, day or night. I could not have been happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend Cawiamca to anybody and sure will recommend them to everyone I know."

"There were some issues when system was first installed. A lot of "pipe knocking" and radiators not heating up. This being a hundred-year-old house I could understand the problems. After speaking with their excellent customer service team, the service crew returned and resolved all issues! I plan on using Onofreo Home Comfort Systems for all my HVAC needs in the future."

"After meeting Ron the owner, he educated me of the benefits of replacing my 25 year old oil furnace and central air unit with a very efficient HEAT PUMP/AC unit. A real no Brainer decision. All electric, energy star rated and no more fuel oil. After a very reasonable quote, with veterans discount, I said I'm in. Two of his Team showed up on a Wednesday around 8am and by Friday around Noon my AC was on. Friendly, professional, attention to detail. Would highly recommend Cawiamca for all Heating and AC projects. Great company."

"Bruce really listened to how I answered his questions and designed a natural-gas fueled steam boiler system that met all the requirements with the expansion potential I requested. During pre-installation logistics and the day of installation, Bruce and his crew were on-time, courteous and professional. Their work demonstrated the benefits of hiring a fully credentialed company, skilled and experienced at their craft. They completed their work in one very long day so that I could avoid a night without heat during a stretch of very cold January days. I trust Williams & Assoc. and would hire them for additional work in my home as needed"

"I reached out to Chris Scotti several years back to maintenence my heatpump heating and cooling system. Chris it immediately responsive to requests for service and has resolved any issue I have had with my heating and cooling system quickly and at a fair price. Recently my A/C was nit cooking my home. I sent a email to Chris at 7:30 PM on. Friday evening not expecting him to respond until Monday. I made sure to mention it was not an emergency. Chris emailed me back that very evening and came out Saturday morning, the next day, and got my A/C to cool my home again. He did some follow up maintenance the following Tuesday. Amazing customer service is all I can say."

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