Noah Smith's Story
Furnace Replacement & Indoor Air Quality in Cincinnati and surrounding areas
“Replaced fuel oil burning furnace with an electric furnace. The entire process improved our home comfort and air quality significantly.”
— Noah Smith
Noah SmithIntroduction
After dealing with an old and inefficient heating system for many years, I decided it was time for a full furnace replacement. I contacted Degree of Comfort for help upgrading my outdated fuel oil furnace to a modern electric furnace and HVAC system.
My main goal was better indoor air quality, improved efficiency, and a more reliable home heating and cooling solution.
The Problem
My old fuel oil-burning furnace had been running for nearly 28 years. Over time, it started affecting the air quality in my home and became less reliable. I was also concerned about dust, discomfort, and rising inefficiency.
I knew I needed a full HVAC system upgrade, not just a repair.
Choosing Degree of Comfort
I found Degree of Comfort HVAC services through recommendations and local reputation. They were well known for furnace installation in residential homes and full system replacements, including ductwork, AC, and heat pump installation.
What stood out most was their reputation for handling complete HVAC replacement projects in a single installation process.
The Installation Experience
From the beginning, everything was clearly explained. The team outlined the full scope of work, including removal of the old fuel oil furnace, ductwork, AC, and heat pump system, and installation of a new electric furnace with upgraded HVAC components.
Communication throughout the project was handled through phone and email, which made everything easy to follow.
The crew worked efficiently and professionally. They removed the old system, installed the new equipment, and ensured the ductwork was properly sealed and secured.
Even after installation, when a small adjustment was needed with a vent connection, the team returned quickly and corrected it. They also performed a full inspection of the ductwork and HVAC sealing system to ensure everything was properly optimized.
Additional Upgrades & Improvements
During the project, I also upgraded my system with a humidifier and air filtration system, which significantly improved indoor air quality. This helped reduce dust, static shocks, and overall dryness in the home.
The team also made sure the new outdoor AC unit had proper spacing and ventilation, which required minor adjustments on my property.
The Results
The difference after installation was immediate.
My home now has:
- Better air quality and cleaner indoor environment
- More consistent and efficient heating and cooling
- Less dust buildup
- Improved sleep and overall comfort
- Reduced maintenance concerns
The new electric furnace system has made a noticeable improvement in everyday comfort.
Final Thoughts
Working with Degree of Comfort was a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. The team was knowledgeable, efficient, and handled a full HVAC system replacement with care and attention to detail.
I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a furnace replacement, HVAC upgrade, or fuel oil furnace conversion to electric heating systems.
