"Best HVAC company I've had to deal with for a long time. very professional, courteous, goes beyond the job to get a repair or install done right and timely. they're also the best bargain and use superior equipment compared to other companies. from the moment I contacted them to the last details of the job they shine high above other irresponsible companies out there. I highly recommend them."

"It went well. I was surprised at how much these systems cost. We had 6 estimates, and Golden Aire was near the lowest. I appreciated Ken's attention to the specific needs in our house. He recommended custom improvements. The install was quick and scheduling was easy. The County inspector was impressed with their work."

"My 36-year-old heating and air conditioning system, which was original to my home, had been on borrowed time for some while. I researched and got bids from four local companies. I needed a new heat pump and air handler at least, but I also wanted to replace the insulation and duct work since it too was old and I had had some rodent issues in my attic some years ago. Insulation upgrades also qualify for additional SMUD rebates. Not only was Huft's bid the lowest, but my Bosch system is more energy efficient than any of the other systems quoted me and whisper quiet. From the salesman Glenn to the installation lead Tever and the insulation installer Anthony, I was impressed with their level of punctuality, courtesy, and professionalism throughout the process. In fact, Glenn was the only salesman who actually took the time to take measurements at my house and explained the numbers of why I needed a three-ton system. I am very happy with my system thus far and I would highly recommend Huft to others!"

"Mr Julian found that an insulation pad that had been glued to the top of the heating box had fallen and could have caused a blockage of heat in the future. We are grateful that he came."

"We recently had our Central A/C installed, and the whole experience was fantastic. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and finished the installation faster than expected. The system works perfectly, and our home feels so much more comfortable now. We later used them for a water heater replacement as well, and the quality of work was just as impressive!"

"Furnace wouldn't light, and no heat to half the house. Nick came out and fixed the furnace right way, even inviting me to watch while he explained what he was doing. Came back the next morning at 8 to replace all the duct work, stopping only to show me the damage done by ground squirrels building a nest inside. It was a dirty, back-breaking job crawling under the house, but he never complained, and, when he left, every bit of debris was bagged and taken away. It's not often you run across someone with a good work ethic, and Nick definitely has one. Excellent job!"

"I have an old house. For a long time I was looking for someone who could change the ventilation system not for crazy money. Finally found it. The guys replaced the entire ventilation system and installed a new heat pump. The work was done the next day after approval. The quality is excellent, the price is very, very reasonable. I was surprised to learn that the guys had an engineering education. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Lincoln, CA

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.
