"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."

Great company and people for all your heating and cooling needs!"

"We had outrageous electric bills last winter so we called John to service and tune up our furnace before this current winter. We had way better electric bills this winter and are so happy with our service. John and his employees were all very professional and always arrived in a very timely manner! They made suggestions but I never felt that they were pressuring me into spending money on anything that was unnecessary. I would recommend them to anyone!

"Old furnace quit working during coldest day of the year. Two other companies came out, deemed it unrepairable and gave estimates that were high. Kohl called back on a Friday night and actually came out on a Saturday to look at it and give an estimate. They were the lowest out of the three and for a lot higher quality units with more features. Plus, it was the actual owner with many years of experience and extreme knowledge that came to the house. That type of service was really appreciated. The installers were at the house within three days. The install was a two and a half day project. From start to finishâ ¦.the word seamless would be an understatement. I would highly recommend Kohl Heating to all."

"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,"

"Highly recommend Kenders HVAC! Both our furnace and air conditioner broke down at the same time, which was a huge stress, but the team at Kenders handled everything flawlessly. They showed up right on time, gave us a very reasonably priced quote, and managed the entire process from beginning to end in less than a week. Their team was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless. If you want honest, high-quality, and fast service, look no further than Kenders!""

"Fast service to replace my furnace and add some duct work."

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.
