"Aaron is a consummate professional along with being a truly "nice guy". He was happy to allow me to watch as he diagnosed my propane furnace problems, and shared his reasons with me as to what he was doing. My furnace had been attempting to start, then would shut down before starting up again, sometimes not successfully. After fixing a limit switch problem, he checked the burner venturi's which were clean. Then he checked the propane pressure and found that it was lower than the recommended value for the furnace. After adjusting the pressure, the furnace worked properly. Aaron also checked my gas fireplace and found that a switch was out of position, preventing the controls from working properly. Aaron was friendly, professional, competent and reasonable. I would highly recommend him for any work of furnaces or other HVAC Equipment."

"Jane's replaced my 20-year old Munchkin boiler with a super efficient, modern Rinnai. Everyone was a joy to deal with. Service was excellent. Darian, who scheduled and arranged the replacement, and Greg and Oscar (who did the work) were fantastic. Excellent service, especially since I live on Lopez Island, which is not easy to get to. Competent, good-natured, hard-working, nice folks."

"Of the four companies I contacted to get estimates to replace our furnace and install a heat pump, one didn't show up at all to provide an estimate and two did not perform a complete evaluation of my home to determine the actual size of the system needed. The Bel Red representative that did the estimate did do a proper evaluation, explained what was needed, described how the system would work, reviewed the installation process and went over the cost, maintenance requirements, and warrantees. The installation team were polite, professional and carefully explained what was done and how to use the system. The Bel Red estimates were the highest but at this point I feel the value provided offset this. Based on this I am comfortable using them for the ongoing maintenance of and any repairs that may be needed for this system."

I would 100% work with Tripped again for any of my electrical needs."

"Outstanding! Both buildings were extremely well built. The attention to detail was excellent. Mike kept me informed about when he would be able to start and started exactly when he said he would. He also had some very helpful suggestions and he fixed a problem with my original plan that made the loft much more usable. Mike and his crew also did a great job cleaning up after each building was finished. I will definitely contact Lazer Construction if I need any future construction work."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Bellingham, WA

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.
