"I called Besco Air due to one of my mom's furnaces going out during the day. I called around 5 PM on a Friday. They were able to rearrange the tech's (Jim) schedule and get him out there by 6:30 PM. He was friendly and professional. He was able to do a quick diagnostic and gave next steps for the fix. Luckily, it was the more simple fix. The furnace capacitor had gone bad. He was able to put a new one in and get the furnace back up and running. He couldn't have been there for more than 45 minutes and was a huge help."

"In the middle of the night on 2/2/22 during a snowstorm, my furnace went out. I texted Carlos at 7am, and by 10:30am he had replaced the blower motor, and I had heat. Besides that, my furnace is running more quietly than it's ever run before. Very impressive."

"Best in the business. Art did quality work at a fair price over several visits for me. I cannot say enough about the honesty and professionalism he exhibited. Discovery is the best HVAV firm I have ever used. This matters. Being a professional woman means nothing to some folks. Some firms see a woman and take advantage. That did not happen here. I am a 30 year homeowner. Like you, I am just looking for an honorable service partner to handle the systems in my home. It is a puzzle until you find a great partner to help you run your systems. HVAC systems can be a matter of life and death. I had Art out after a flooded basement to check the furnace. Fair price, good advice on that event. Later, I had my furnace motor go out. Art came and replaced it in a very professional manner and at a very fair price. Hey, we can all go on line and figure out what a part costs. Discovery and Art were fair and gave me tremendous peace of mind. My heat is on right now and it is perfect. I got a price for my cooling that I will replace in the spring with Discovery. Why? They are fair, professional, knowledgeable, and have shown me a track record excellence. For women who have been ripped off, I would especially recommend this service. Ask for Art. I heartily recommend Art and Discovery for your HVAC needs."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Harwood Heights, IL

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.
