"Very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. My heat went out while we were in the process of moving. My family had already moved to the new house, and I had to stay back to finish up the rest. Brandon told me he didn't have a control board that day, but he could put in a small heating module instead to heat up the house for about 8 or 10 hours, until he can get the new part ordered. Which worked out perfect - due to it was 30 degree's that night. I had to continue with the moving and left a key under the mat for Brandon to come back and do the repairs, which he did and called me to let me know it was complete and he even went back the next day to make sure everything was working properly, and it was. I am very happy with the results, he went above and beyond expectations, and I highly recommend him to all, very trustworthy."

"I recently had Amerson’s Heating and Air Conditioning install an Ecobee thermostat at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how everything worked before leaving. The installation was quick, clean, and done right the first time. The new Ecobee thermostat works great and has already made managing the temperature in my home much easier and more efficient. I really appreciated the excellent customer service and attention to detail throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Amerson’s Heating and Air Conditioning to anyone looking for reliable HVAC service or smart thermostat installation!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Covington, LA

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.
