"John and Zack from Bama Air Systems were personable and professional as they replaced our old mini split system with a quality mini split. The four other companies that came out before Bama didn't have a clue on what to do. Thanks Bama Air!"

"Wehby Heating & Air was prompt, professional, and thorough. Within a day, a company representative was at our house, and we were given a quote within hours. Their quote was nearly $2,000 cheaper than the first company we contacted. The repairs were done in a clean and timely manner. The employees were courteous to my family and my pets. After the repairs were completed and the new unit was installed, I was given thorough instructions on how to use the new unit and wall thermostat, as well as detailed instructions on how to register our new unit online. I would highly recommend this company to anyone; homeowner, small business, or large business, no matter what your heating and AC needs may be. They saved our summer and a lot of money!"

"Another company said carbon monoxide was detected. Said the could not see any holes in furnace, so they recommended a new furnace. Called Covenant for a second opinion. They found rotted vent pipes, so I let them replace. Saved me a lot of money!"

"David is great! He did an excellent job installing our home Radon mitigation system. He worked with us to determine the most effective and efficient way to set up our mitigation system. The system works great! Our Radon levels were very close to 0 after the initial install and almost a year later they are still very close to 0, currently measuring at 0.8. He was very professional and responsive throughout the entire installation process. We would highly recommend Covenant Air for help with decreasing the Radon levels in your home.

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Dora, AL

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.
