"I'd give 20 stars if I could. Every time I have had to call Droegkamp Furnace, I have had above and beyond excellent service. They have always managed to get here fast, diagnosed fast and accurately, always the best estimates and most professional people I have ever worked with. I had some financial issues and spoke directly with the owner. Extremely honest and no pushy, unnecessary sales!"

"We had this system installed by Kettle Moraine in May 2018. This was our first annual inspection of the furnace, as we had the air conditioning checked out this May. Kyle called ahead of his scheduled arrival to confirm he would be on time. He arrived on time, put his booties on to protect our floors, and got right to work. He did a real nice job of checking everything out, and discovered a water leak that was allowing a small amount of moisture/liquid to get on top of the heat exchanger, in three different places, which would over time create significant problems both with the upper and lower heat exchangers. He exlained very clearly, even showing me what was wrong , and what he suspected was causing the leak. He immediately contacted Lennox, and ordered the replacement parts, from our basement. He estimated the parts would be in the shop and ready for installation in about a week. While I'm not thrilled with the quality of the Lennox furnace, leaking and need major parts being replaced within a couple of years, their 10 year parts and labor warranty will cover everything, so that's great."

"The owner of Guardian Heating and Cooling, LLC (Steve Peterson) and one of his sons (Adam) did an AWESOME job installing a new, high-efficiency, gas-fired Laars combi-boiler at my residence! If the new unit continues to perform as well as it is presently, and Guardian service continues to be this excellent in the years ahead, I will be a happy camper and pat myself on the back for having been smart enough to hire them. :-) The unit they replaced was built by a highly-regarded manufacturer that had been installed by another highly regarded contractor by the previous owners of my home. As it turned out, the previous heating unit was a money pit and the previous contractors technical abilities left much to be desired. Each heating season, the previous boiler experienced one significant failure after another. The previous contractor kept changing parts without digging into **why** the parts were failing. They simply said I should accept this, since the unit was **old**. Unhappy with this response, I decided to cut my losses. To the rescue: Guardian Heating and Cooling! While not the least expensive contractor, Steve, and Son exceeded my expectations simply by meeting them! They arrived one time and did everything they said they were going to do. With unseasonably cold weather in October, I was initially a bit apprehensive at the prospect of having no heat for a few days while a replacement system was installed. I wondered if they would be able to complete this project in a timely manner, as they said they would. My worries were for naught. There were no surprises and no surprise expenses ... no nickle-and-diming when Guardian needed an extra part or fitting ... no drama. Guardian simply got the job done. And they did it beautifully. They took care to minimize the time I would be without water and without heat. After installation, they thoroughly tested the unit. The next day, they checked back to ensure that I was satisfied with its performance. They also cleaned up reasonably when they were done and were carefully not to damage my property, as they moved large, heavy pieces of equipment and tools around. In summary: a big Thumbs Up for Guardian heating and Cooling, LLC!"

"One Hour Heating did a very thorough job. I had a malfunctioning humidifier on my furnace and they were able to identify the issue, order/deliver the part and install the new humidistat in less than a couple of hours. I was very impressed with both technicians onsite and would certainly recommend them for all of your heating/hvac needs."

"Shane was able to schedule a prompt appointment. He arrived on time and performed a thorough diagnostic on the furnace. He identified an issue I was unaware of and corrected the problem with the air conditioner using parts that were still under warranty. I will gladly use his services again."

"Marty listened to my needs, inspected the existing systems and provided a fair quote. I met the installation team as they took a close look at the project -- they knew their stuff. I wanted to hire Fast Air but my house is not a standard type of house and the brand of furnace I wanted didn't come in the right size for the house. Marty talked this through with me so I understood the situation. That helped me tremendously when I talked with other HVAC contractors. Fast Air is a professional outfit. They absolutely are at the top of my short list."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Big Bend, WI

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.
