"I highly recommend Apex-based "A. Maynor Heating & A/C", who replaced my furnace and the entire central air conditioning system (outside condenser unit, inside evaporator coil, and new refrigerant lines) on 7-17-2020 at my Cary house. I also had them install the new outside condenser unit on the opposite side of the house (where it's in the shade, able to operate more effectively) compared to where the original condenser was (in the direct sun). All of their personnel were very competent, polite, prompt, and a pleasure to interact with, from Christy & Tammy in the office, to Carlos & Louis who performed the initial inspection & diagnosis of the original system that had failed, to Norm who performed the house "load calculation", recommended the appropriate new system, and who (since he's a licensed electrician) modified the wiring at the electrical panel as needed for the new condenser location, to Ramon & Christian who performed the new installation, and to Robert who performed the post-installation check and installed a new condensate pump."

"Carolina Comfort installed a new HVAC system at our home. They did a great job from the original recommendation on the type of unit- a ducted split system- to a quick scheduling of the work- and lastly installing the system. Ryan, Dylan and John were great- very polite and professional and got the system and fully installed and running within the time frame promised. Would definitely use them again."

"Worked until late late into the the evening the prior evening trying to install my ecobee voice thermostat. Wrong, and missing tools. Do with 30 degrees outside, and an unhappy wife inside. I decide to try again thenext day. Called for help, left VM around lunch time. Craig called back to say he would try to get by before end of daybut, it is late, and he is on the other side of Raleigh. (New Year's Eve Tomorrow) Cold again tonight. Craig calls later, on his way, after much tribulation, gets the thermostat working, and I offer to program so that he can go home to his family. He refuses, until the job is finished, and working properly. A few bumps in the programming, so glad he stayed around! Excellent Customer Service. I am so grateful. About 30 hours later, and the system is performing beautifully."

"I had been told by a repairman from a company I had a service contract with that my furnace badly needed a cleaning and was quoted a price of $600 for the job as well as an additional $400 to remove a nonworking humidifier. These quotes seemed exorbitant and so I got some estimates, all much lower, and chose Dominion on the basis of reviews. Terrone said my furnace did not need a cleaning, passing up an opportunity to charge me for something I thought I needed, and repaired my humidifier for less than the cost the other company had quoted for merely removing it. He showed me what he was doing, explained how my heating system worked, and charged me a fair price for the job. I would certainly call Dominion again for any HVAC needs."

"Date: 01/28/19 Task: Electrical Switches, Outlets & Fixtures - Install or Repair I have hired the Blatons for last June to replace the heat pump system. I have peace of mind program. Once a year, the technician came out to check all my electric and plumbing service. It is no cost but it will cost the ONLY something they find it wrong. The Blanton Techs are excellent services, very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you! I have been a Blantonscustomer for first years. Blantons Staff have always been impressed with their service and workmanship, but this was my first experience with their HVAC Technician, John A. was very pleased with honor customer service."

"My new Trane heat/a.c. Is up and running. More helpful would be reviews on how things are working two, three years down the road. Also they did a bait and switch on me. I thought I was buying a Trane thermostat but they installed an inferior product. Repeated emails to fix the problem have been ignored."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Benson, NC

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.
