"Chrismon offered me multiple options for replacing my heat pump and explained the different trade-offs clearly. Once I decided on best option, they were prompt and professional in getting it installed. Helped me with financing as well (not an expected expense!)"

"I contacted Duggins, in addition to numerous other heating and cooling companies, to obtain an estimate on replacing my entire HVAC duct system.  Having had some issues with it over recent years and doing quite a bit of research, we knew we were ready for better insulated flex duct, better air quality, and a more comfortably conditioned second story in our Cape Cod home.

David Mitchell was my service consultant.  He was very patient and thoughtful when responding to any of my questions, as well as providing thorough responses.  He listened to the issues that I told him we wanted to address, and very adequately proposed possible solutions.  He did not try to 'sell' me on anything I wasn't conveying I wanted, and offered his professional opinion on how to achieve my desired outcome.  Once provided with the final proposal, I was very pleased.  It came in quite a lot lower than the #2 company I was also considering.

My only additional consideration was to be assured that there would be no possibility of any sort of contaminant(s) left within my duct system / heating and cooling unit.  I had done some research on this issue, and David was more then willing to look over some internet links I sent to him regarding EPA approved sanitation products, etc.  To address these concerns, Duggins sub-contracted with The Duct Doctor to come on site to sanitize the one return box they were unable to replace, in addition to the blower, coil, etc.  I was not only very pleased that they made the effort to do this, which ultimately won them my business, but I was also very impressed with Jim Gehling, of Duct Doctor of the Triad.

The crew of three technicians that completed my job were timely, polite, and efficient.  They were thorough, cleaned up after themselves, and went to fairly great lengths to assure that my flex duct that ran through a chase to the second-story was completely removed and replaced.  Instead of cutting a whole into my wall, one of them was very resourceful and created a sort of internal ladder to access the chase, then climbing up inside to cut a whole slightly larger through the floor above so that they could pull the new flex duct down into the crawl space.  This saved me the additional work of replacing / repairing drywall!

I was VERY please with the estimate, the crew, and the work that was completed.  I will likely be switching my seasonal inspection contract over to them.  I would not hesitate to recommend Duggins Heating and Cooling to anyone. . ."

"Chris was the technician that came out and did a wonderful job very informative. The unit was low on freon and while we were looking at the unit fan motor went out and he was able to get a new one next day. He vacuumed the unit out of all the leaves and clean the fins and then actually put away some of my tools and hoses. Chris went above and beyond I would highly recommend."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Elon, NC

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.
