"Their technician powered up the unit, found that the cooling coils were dirty, causing the drop in freon pressure. He quickly identified the problem as a defective contactor, which he replaced. Cost was only $80. Previous service visit from another company had told us that all the freon had leaked out of the unit and we needed to replace the whole system."

"I’m very pleased with my experience! The package unit I had needed replacement and what I had in mind was to move the new unit to a different location which I guessed would be more complicated. With my other quotes I had the sense they weren’t happy about taking that on but these folks basically said yeah, it will be, but this will be a challenge to look forward to. I like that. Beyond that the project was done on time and this new system is great! I’ll be looking forward to having them maintain this system over the years."

"I had a great experience with Moreno HVAC & Electric and Mr. Moreno. He installed a mini-split in my man cave, and the process was smooth from start to finish and the work was high quality & I joke at times that the unit works almost too good at times! Not long after, I started having trouble with my main house A/C not keeping up, & Mr. Moreno came out quickly to take care of it. He was very thorough—checking for leaks, going through the system step by step, & making sure everything was running properly before he left. That attention to detail really gave me peace of mind. What really stands out is how much he cares. He’s always professional, communicates clearly throughout the process, & makes sure you know what’s going on. The part that meant the most to me was he actually followed up after the work was done just to check in & make sure my family was comfortable. That level of service is hard to find these days. I highly recommend Moreno HVAC & Electric to anyone looking!!!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Athens, AL

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.
