"JA Bertsch was the most amazing company to work with. I recommend them to anyone, and truly wish they would expand beyond heating and cooling so that I could hire them for all my home care needs! They were very professional and provided great options for us to choose from when replacing our furnace and air conditioner. They improved the return air system so that it was actually installed to work (the home builders DID NOT do this correctly). Our chosen furnace system did not arrive in time for our installation, so they upgraded us for free to a better system that they had in store so that they could install on the arranged date. Our home is SO much more comfortable and the furnace now maintains even temperatures in the basement and upper level of the home. They had all the areas needed to pass inspection the first time covered and there were no issues with permits and passing inspection due to their attention to all the details like placement of Carbon Monoxide detectors. EVERY employee we worked with was kind, and customer friendly. They helped us secure 0% financing for the full job and completed all the rebate paperwork for us to help with a very smooth financing process. We will be on their Comfort Home plan for life to have them continue to ensure our furnace and AC are well maintenance! Thank you JA BERTSCH for your commitment to your customers and supporting our community too!"

"Alliance Air was straight forward with the cost projections and looked to save me money not over charge me like other companies. The work was done on time and accurate. I have had the ac system now for over 6 months and the system is working perfectly. Very happy with this company because hvac is a huge investment and I definitely made the right decision choosing alliance air"

Job was well-planned by the estimator and the guys showed up well-informed as to the layout and modifications that we needed. Estimate was competitive with other companies that we approached. Work was performed efficiently and only delay was a result of a part on the system which was incorrectly positioned by original installer and he to be re-ordered. Jim & Rob were punctual, professional and hard-working and didn't inconvenience us at all.

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Fernwood, ID

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.
