"We recently replaced our Heating & Cooling system with a energy efficient furnace & air-conditioning unit. We knew what we wanted, so I received bids from 4 different suppliers, receiving bids for a apples to apples comparison. All-Temp was by far the best pricing. Our installation process went flawlessly & the installers answered any question that I had. They came back out to our home per my request on a couple more occasions, to adjust the amount of time the 2 stage system ran. Everyone that we have dealt with has been extremely professional, courteous & knowledgeable. We just received a clean & check of our system & Jen our technician met each of those attributes. I would highly recommend All-Temp for any of your heating or cooling needs. Herb Pitzman Huntley, IL"

"On Christmas Eve, our furnace, well past its warranty, began to fail. Shavitz responded quickly, and the technician, Ramiro, was able to provide a temporary fix to ensure we had reliable heat. We didn't want to make a decision about replacing the furnace and Shavitz suggested a much less expensive option - cleaning the coils and installing a better filter. Based on our initial positive experience, we requested Ramiro perform the additional work. The process required most of a day, and Ramiro was again punctual, efficient, and professional. There were no surprises and Ramiro made sure we understood what was being done. We've used Shavitz for many years and we've been happy with their advice, their technicians, and the quality of the work."

"Everything went great from the estimate with Ed to the installation with Wesley and Matt. They were friendly and knowledgeable. It was not an easy installation. I was very pleased with the result. They had respected my property and even called in a roofer to properly vent the system through the roof. They even installed my smart thermostat. I would use them again. Previously, there was electric heat on the second floor. Other companies balked at giving me a solution for gas but they had no problem running the line upstairs. Goodby high electric bills!"

"We decided to replace an outdated AC unit and furnace with a brand new heat pump and furnace. After speaking with a Four Seasons sales rep, we knew they were the best choice to go with due to their thorough assessment, knowledge of products, availability of service and overall transparency. And perhaps most importantly, they were not pushy and respect our decisions on what system we felt was best for our home. As with any expenditure of this nature, there will be some ironing out of details and inevitable bumps to get everything completed, but the overall experience amounted to an energy-efficient HVAC system that was installed with care and expediency. Their service technicians are also friendly, thorough, knowledgeable, and available at a moment's notice. We are so glad that we went with Four Seasons."

"I hired Full Efficiency to do the spring tune up for our central AC. Carlos arrived on time, wearing PPE, got to work right away with the spring tune up, and cleaned up after himself when he completed the job. He is a very professional, friendly man. We plan to have him back in the fall to prepare our furnace for the cold weather months!"

"On time, professional, and great customer support by Maggie. As far as value, they are definitely more expensive than some others we quoted, but you get what you pay for. We had our furnace and AC and water heater replaced by the Phoenix crew in Dec 19 and everything is still working well. Keep up the good work guys!"

"Very well. The technician seemed well trained. He went through all vents and registers meticulously. Cleaned the furnace base unit thoroughly. Showed all the filters which needed to be cleaned, dried and re-installed."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Highland Park, 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.
