"We were able to schedule same-day service for a furnace that had stopped heating. Technician called 45 minutes ahead of arrival, and arrived on time. He checked furnace, identified the problem, and solved it in a few minutes. Furnace started and ran properly. We have a service contract with Cool-Ray and have used them continuously for over 20 years for all our home heating and air conditioning services."

"Ragsdale services our HVAC system since 2008. Their excellent service record gave us the incentive to include them in a bid with 4 participants. Despite negotiating during a heat wave, Ragsdale's Chris Boyd came through with a winning efficient 2-stage system proposal in one week. We thank the LORD that we will continue to do business with Art Ragsdale's most competent staff. --- Rev. Rob, USMC veteran"

"I had maintenance of my heating systems by Keion at Cool Air Mechanical and I couldn’t be happier. Service was exceptional. Keion addressed all my concerns and answered all my questions without appearing rushed. I originally had Cool Air install a new Lennox heating and air unit 6 months and I continue to be impressed how great a company it is with great service people"

"I can't recommend Jade Heat and Air more. I struggled for years with a recurrent problem with my HVAC and dealt with several other service providers who couldn't seem to fix it. Jade fixed it and it stayed fixed for three years. Just had them out to fix a new problem and couldn't be happier with Cesar Aguilar."

"My 28-year old Air Conditioner failed on one of the hottest days of the year and the full HVAC system needed to be replaced. I called three companies to get the best price under the conditions. After evaluating the my choices I chose Premier HVAC Mechanical. I am pleased that they were able to replace my system with upgrades within a handful of business days. I asked several questions in the process and they were kind enough explain everything in terms I could understand. Overall, it was a really good experience and I plan to work with them again in the future."

"Bobby came out and installed a complete Trane system and even relocated the furnace and A/C compressor to a more sensible location. The installation crew was polite, professional and efficient. The new heating and air system works flawlessly. Best service I have ever gotten from a HVAC company ever!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Buford, GA

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.
