"They completed the heat pump installation work but did not come back to install a new filter rack system. I have contacted Mr Tilley three times for him to schedule the work. He came to my house but after two weeks no work has been scheduled. I am disabled and cannot change the filter without a great deal of discomfort, so I really need the work done. Update: The service took about an hour to complete."

"I hired this company to replace a furnace and air conditioner in July. It took several weeks and phone calls to repair a problem with the installation. It then took a couple of weeks for them to return to set the unit up for winter. They continually used "were so darn busy as an excuse. They also agreed to install a garbage disposal even though they stated they usually did not do residential plumbing. They never found the time. So imagine my surprise when I saw they were advertising a residential plumbing special Angie's List. I have made a number of requests for the warranties for my units, to no avail. They may give you a good price, but after that, good luck."

"Working with James Martin and his staff at Air Advantage LLC has been an absolute pleasure. The work they did to my 1930's home is remarkable and was no easy feat. He designed and he and his staff completely installed a Heat Pump, all of the duct-work, venting, and return. The whole kit and kaboodle - I cannot be more thrilled with their work ethic, customer service, transparency, and the ability to take feedback. With my project they faced many challenges and rose to each of them without complaint. My crawlspace/hand-dug basement is particularly spider webbie and not an ideal space to spend several days. He was my advocate as a homeowner and offered the reassurance and guidance any homeowner should have. His "helpers," (as anyone knows, really the backbone) were kind, courteous, mannerly, and responsive - very warm individuals that convey trustworthiness as does James. James was very hands-on, fabricating all of of my custom duct work, and was communicative. His is also it seems a great boss - that is fantastic. I had a meltdown at 3:00 a.m. and James responded to an email before I could even wipe the sleep from my eyes. They were kind to my pets and tolerant - James saved my 15 year old dog's life, and his assistant was there in a flash during a totally freak incident. WOW! JUST WOW! I am a single woman with some background in the professional electrical industry and I can tell and will tell anyone, that this operation is a class act. I highly recommend them - I will be endeavoring in a large renovation project soon and will absolutely hire them for modifications and expansions. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe my experience with these guys. They were $4000 lower than one of the "Big Guys" in the Blue Ridge - and I know that my system is far superior, installed with care, and with honesty about what I did and did not need. Hire them! You will not regret it!"

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Blacksburg, VA

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.
