"Aire Systems of Campbell and Saratoga truly sets the standard for exceptional service in the HVAC industry. Alton, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure I understood every aspect of the process, from selecting the right system for my small home to navigating available rebate programs. His expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction stood out as he guided me through the rebates step by step, emphasizing how beneficial they are despite the effort required. What really impressed me was Alton’s commitment to follow through—he’s not just selling systems, he’s supporting his customers well beyond installation. Daniel, the team lead installer, was equally remarkable. Always punctual and professional, he demonstrated a level of care that extended beyond the job itself. He kept me informed daily, explaining what was being done, what to expect next, and how long it would take. Knowing I had to leave for work, Daniel kindly spent time with my dogs, making sure they felt at ease while he worked. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with such personal care. Aire Systems, with Alton and Daniel at the helm, earns my highest recommendation!"

"Peter, and his crew, were very reliable and professional. I purchased a new RUUD furnace and A/c. Their price was better than the other 3 bids I got. Everything was inspected by Archon. The final permit/inspection was issued. The system has been up and running for 6+ months now. No problems."

"Juan and his team were top tier professional. From the initial consultation to the hvac installation, they handled everything with care. Juan was so thorough answering my questions, the install was done in time, and everything was to spec. When I contacted him with an issue after install, him and his business partner came to take care of things immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat. So grateful for the work they did with removing our furnace and installing a split unit heat pump. Thank you Juan!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Clayton, CA

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.
