"It was a pleasure to have Brandon come out and do the work. He came out the same day I called to give me an estimate which was really helpful. I was relieved because I was beginning to become frustrated since I had no hot water. I needed my furnace removed so a water heater could be removed and a new one installed. I needed Brandon to put the furnance back once the water heater was in. It wiuld be a 2 day procedure. The work was neat and thorough. He went over and beyond what I initially asked for. He worked quietly to make sure I was able to finish resting since I work late hours and sleep during the day. He was also willing to work around the schedule of another company who was there doing work. When he was finished my furnace looked better than it looked originally because he cleaned it up and positioned it back making sure everything was neat and placed in the best spot. It’s always a pleasure to work with a clean, neat and thoughtful company who did exactly what they said they would do. Thanks!!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Chapin, SC

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.
