"Steve at Anchorage Plumbing and Heating went above and beyond to make sure that it was a fantastic job. I apologize to him for not posting this review sooner because he helped me out of a bad spot with this heating replacement. I bid with 3 plumbing companies and he had the lowest price but everyone was booked out for at least 2 months and my boiler starting leaking and was barely working. He promised that if it failed he would move me up in priority. I told him it was leaking faster and had to be reset many times. So he was able to schedule 2 plumbers to replace my heating system. The old boiler failed the night before perfect timing when his plumbers arrived. The plumbers were professional, did a clean installation job, were polite and knowledgeable. The Muni inspector said they did a great job and I couldn't have beat the price, and quality of the work. Will definitely use again for maintenance and recommend them to my family and friends."

"100% pleased with Moore! My 14 year old gas furnace (present when I bought the house) was blowing CO so it was shut down. I called Moore for a bid based on the positive Angie's List reviews. Tom came out and spent quite a bit of time here, calculating the size requirements based on my home, and explaining the different types of furnaces I could buy, and the pros and cons of each. As it turns out, the 100,000 BTU furnace I had was too big for my 1,200 sq ft home. Tom recommended a 70,000 BTU unit, with variable speed blower, A basic, one speed unit would have been about $1,000 less but I decided to go with the variable speed Lennox. Tom also informed me that the existing return air venting was insufficient for the old unit, and would not be sufficient for the new one. Tom was very patient, answering all of my questions. As a 50 year old woman who doesn't know much about furnaces, this was a big deal to me. I hope Moore realizes what a valuable employee they have in Tom. They were able to schedule the install for two days later, even though they were booked 2+ weeks out (they reserve earlier spots for people with no heat). Tony did the install, and once again, I was very impressed. He was also very patient and answered all of my questions... and I had a lot throughout the day. I had been concerned about who they'd send to do the install, because you can buy the best furnace out there, but if it's not installed right, you've got problems. Do you want problems with your furnace for the next 15 years? I don't. Tony has 40 years of HVAC experience - and knows what he is doing. Another example of a great Moore employee. Last but not least - the ladies that handle their phones were also very personable, and helpful. A few people have commented that Moore's prices could be lower, but I fully believe you get what you pay for. I was pleased with the price I was charged, based on the excellent service I received. It's worth noting - the HVAC company I have used for years for maintenance, submitted a bid for a basic unit WITHOUT even coming out to my house, or discussing it with me over the phone. I replied to the email asking for a price for a variable speed unit - and never heard from them again. And it wasn't a small 2nd rate company either - it's one of the bigger ones (also on Angie's List). Had I gone with them, I am sure my return air issue would have not been addressed, which would have shortened the lifespan of the new furnace. I have not one complaint about this company. Needless to say, i will be using them from now on for annual maintenance, too!"

"I have a multi family building that needed the furnaces to be services and I wanted all of the thermocouples replaced in the furnaces and water heaters. Wagner provided a reasonable quote, completed the project when he said he was going to, and contacted all of the tenants to schedule the work. Defiantly will be doing business with them in the future!"

"Jim is local.  It went great. Jim Ferrell is a professional of the highest caliber. Responded quickly, took care of my problems, and advised me as to better means of protection than I had. He came back a second time to uninstall software that I purchased that did not provide adequate protections and installed free software that would do the job.  He did the work through remote connection, but is available on site if necessary.
For those people needing help on getting red of malware, viruses , etc. on your computer,  Jim is local, better than all thse remote out of state location providers, is a mature, highly trained professional in this area.
If you go to local computer stores you get very young people that can do a basic job, but are no where near the professional level of Jim.
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that needs these type services.

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Eagle River, AK

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.
