"Jarad came to inspect my air conditioner. When the furnace and air conditioner was installed, they took time to explain how they worked and what I needed to do from one season to the next. However, there was so much information exchanged then, I forgot part of it. Jarad took the time to thoroughly explain everything. He also looked at another concern of mine, and he fixed that. I couldn't have been more pleased."

"Jim was in the area here in Nashville, and I spoke with him about my computer. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything computer related, and seemed very familiar with the problems I described having with my computer.  I also had a very old fax machine that I was manually having to scan documents and fax them, over and over again. Sometimes, even the same ones. Jim advised me on what kind of printer to get, as well as what type wireless network to get and even went with me to Staples to purchase the items (That was over and beyond the call of duty in my opinion). I am a business owner for a trucking logistics company, and my computer is my livelihood, so I really trusted that Jim would get my system working, and help me with my scanning and faxing issues.



Jim arrived on time, and got to work right away.  He took the time unbox my printer, set it up for me, he also set up my wireless network, and the entire time he helped me understand exactly what was going on.  He showed me how to set up my wireless, how to make changes to it, he even went through the manual on the printer with me, and showed me how I could scan documents directly to my computer and save them....and then just fax them out all from my computer!  He then started cleaning out some of the toolbars and bad software I had inadvertently installed, then he ran the virus scanner, still showing me how to do it myself, and explaining to me how I could avoid these issues in the future.  I have to say I have never had such excellent customer service from a computer repair person. He removed the viruses, and even offered to put a remote software package on so that if I ever have any problems in the future, he could access my machine remotely, and help me fix them, essentially saving me the cost and time for the future.



I would HIGHLY recommend Jim and North Alabama Technical Services for any and all computer work. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with, and again, I've never felt so well taken care of with my computer issues before. If I could give him all A+'s I would.  I have seen a recent review that mentions that he takes advantage of businesses, but he only charged me $75 and gave way more than that in service. I really appreciate him for all he did for me.

"Called warranty repair, found out that it was done by a local provider (Flori Heating and Air). I called Flori to schedule an appointment, they were here on time and got things back up, running and cooling. Since it was 95 outside, I appreciated their sense of urgency and calm professionalism, not to mention the quick return of cold air coming out of my vents!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Linden, IA

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.
