"Bob's Air Repair came out same day on the hottest day of the year. System had completely died and they had a replacement installed in only two days loaning us an indoor portable unit so we did not die from the heat. Recommend this company so very highly for their incredible installers, quick service and great and fair pricing.TEN STAR RATING !"

"I recently purchased a home in Red Bluff. I love the house,
but the only heating and cooling system that the home came with was a wall A/C
unit in the front room and a wall furnace in the hallway. After several
sleepless nights in my new bedroom, I quickly realized that the living room A/C
unit wasn?t going to cut it. Like a smart consumer, I got several quotes from
different businesses and it didn?t take long for me to become disheartened. My
adorable new home has no ducting and no room in the attic for a unit to be installed,
two factors that lead to frustratingly high quotes.
After basically resigning myself to summer nights spent
sleeping in the living room, I had a chance encounter that lead me to
Gallagher?s and I couldn?t be happier. I came into the meeting interested in
the mini-split system due to its easy install and maintenance, plus its
relatively cheaper price tag and much cheaper operating cost. Even knowing what
I was interested in, John took the time to explain all of my options so I could
be secure in my decision. The turning point in the meeting was certainly when
we were exploring the merits of having one or two heads installed. John,
knowing that cost was a major concern for me, actually advocated for me to get
one head to work in conjuncture with my current system since I would have the
option to add a second head later when funds allowed. I couldn?t have felt less
pressured. John clearly took my priorities seriously and it was a refreshing
experience.
Inevitably, I opted to have two heads installed and it was
the best decision I could have made. My house is always an even, comfortable
temperature and the system is virtually silent, even when set to ?high?. My
electrical/gas bill has consistently been below $60 a month and that?s without
having to sacrifice comfort on those especially hot days. I can?t express the
peace of mind that comes with not having to feel guilty about running my
system.
From beginning to end, the Gallagher?s team was
professional, courteous, and reliable. I was pleasantly surprised by the
experience, thoroughly impressed, and would absolutely recommend Gallagher?s
for any heating, air conditioning or even basic plumbing and electrical needs.
They handle it all and they handle it well!"

"Jed was in the process of writing an estimate to change out some lighting systems, and install two ceiling fans. He called and said he wasn't complete, but a very hot weekend was coming up and he would do the fans right away! That was a thoughtful idea /suggestion which we agreed to. Jed and his worker braved the extremely hot attic and installed the hardware to hang the ceiling fans, but additional wiring to power them and provided wiring, switches and two updated switch boxes to accommodate the new extra switches. This job required Jed and crew to get creative and inventive to complete this job in a timely basis. The work was very professional, an they left the jobsite clean. Naturally, I look forward to the lighing changes when time is available. We highly recommend Jed Faulkner Electric for any job that involves electrical work."

"I called ThermoTech Solutions and they sent out a technician within 24 hours. I was pleasantly surprised that the technician was the same gentleman I talked to over the phone so I did not have to retell what was wrong with my system. Jason my technician who is also the owner was great. He tested my system, knew exactly what was needed, and had it repaired the very same day. He did not try to sell me on upgrading my unit or a bunch of repairs I did not need. The service was fast, very reasonably priced, and I have had no issues since. Will definitely be having ThermoTech Solutions come out for all my HVAC needs in the future!"

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"We had many issues with our computer - primarily with the CD/DVD drive and iTunes. Jim eliminated over 700 viruses from our computer, which was just the beginning. There continued to be problems within the systems of the computer. Luckily Jim charges by the job and not by the hour because he worked a LONG time to make it all work.  He kept in touch with me and addressed each issue as it arose until the job was done.  He was professional and courteous and hung in there until I was satisfied he had addressed everything. I would highly recommend Jim and will definitely use his services in the future, as needed.

"Had Paul take a look at the system. He diagnosed it in a heartbeat and we got our cold air back in no time. I really appreciate these guys for there knowledge and for being willing to climb into a blazing hot attic in the middle of summer. Definitely keeping their number on speed dial in case something happens"

"The Technician seem to know his job and seems very experienced in it. He explained why the furnace was not allowing heat to through. There was a part that had to be checked every few years and cleaned. And he did it put the back inside the furnace and the heat started."

"The last was a rental company that we have and we used them for an air conditioning and heating system. It was Bototach Mechanical. It’s been a good program for us. They’re very responsive. I don’t know what the thought process was. My husband said, well let’s try these guys and so we did. We have an older home and it’s proved to be a very good deal. The quality has been pretty good, so I would give them an A for the quality. I will give you one helpful hint though. If the company decides they want to replace an appliance, you need to call them and negotiate with them because you can upgrade, but you need to talk to them in person not just do it over the internet."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Colusa, 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.
