"I had AC Dave preform three jobs for me over the past few years. (1) New ducts a few years ago. (2) Installed a mini-split heat pump in master bedroom this year. (3) Then a few months later I had him remove my old Central AC and replace it with an 18 SEER heat pump and new coil, all the while leaving my old furnace in place as a back up. Dave and his guys did a great job on all three projects, completing each one in a day. Highly recommended."

"We purchased our air conditioner and furnace from The Right Choice last year and are very pleased with the units. Today Elie came to our house to check the filter in the furnace and to make sure everything was in good working order. He arrived on time, was very cordial and professional. He explained everything he was going to do and even cleaned up when he was finished."

"I highly recommend Belle Air Services! From the first moment I called to get a quote, to the moment they finished the job, I could not have asked for better customer service, top notch work, and competitive pricing. They communicated with me all throughout the process, made sure I understood everything that would be done, were on time, protected my home and were clean. They even worked very well with my HOA (who is very tough!). And to top it off, they didn't try to up-sell me as other HVAC contractors have in the past. So pleased that I have found this HVAC company!!"

"My experience with Tim from Efficiency Air was fabulous from the first day that I met him. He was friendly, professional, and after talking with him for several minutes it became clear that he was quite familiar and knowledgeable with HVAC systems. Being that he had a background in mechanical engineering was a big plus. The first thing that he wanted to do before answering our questions was to educate us on the different systems available and how they work. I was impressed by that approach. Our gas furnace was situated in a closet in the center of our house. Since we didn't a want a gas furnace in the house (actually it was my wife that didn't want the gas furnace) we decided on a heat pump condenser which was the best choice for us. It would be installed outside and the air handler, which moves the air, would be installed in our attic. The now empty closet would be converted in to a pantry at a future date. Tim went over the pros and cons of a gas furnace and heat pump. Based on his summation of the pros and cons we decided that the heat pump was the way to go for us. The following day I got his proposal and cost for our system. It was reasonable and I believe a fair price considering the extra cost for new ducting and putting the air handler in the attic. The new ducting made a huge difference. I knew that I would be hiring Tim after he left our home. It was just a gut feeling based on the way he treated us, educated us, being patient with our questions and his superb knowledge of HVAC systems. I made an appointment to have our new system installed one week later. He arrived at the scheduled date early and his crew arrived a few minutes later. Tim told me that he has a habit of arriving early on all his jobs. That also impressed me. There were five guys on site including Tim and they were well organized and got to work immediately. Tim supervised the entire installation. He only left 3-4 times during the day to get parts and meet a customer. They laid out padding to protect our floors and were very careful when working inside our home. His crew were very nice and they worked very hard. I didn't ask many questions but they didn't seem to be bothered when I did asked them a question or two. Tim took his time and explained what was being done. Not only did his crew remove the old furnace from the closet but they cleaned it thoroughly, vacuumed, and cut out all the old ducting, gas line, air vents, etc. and covered the holes that remained. They also did a beautiful job in putting the air handler in the attic. They had to cut an opening in our master bath area to get the air handler in. The opening was finished very nicely. They also had to cut a hole for a new return air filter grill. It was finished beautifully. Tim and his crew completed the work in one day. They cleaned up everything, vacuumed the stairs, the hallway, and the garage where they had staged a work area. I am so very impressed with the work that Tim and his crew did for us. They certainly made every effort to make sure that everything was installed exactly and to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Efficiency Air to anyone that is considering a new HVAC system. Efficiency Air exceeded my expectations for a job that was exceptionally well done. My wife and I are very happy with our new system. As promised by Tim, we now have exceptional airflow, great heating and air conditioning. Prior to our new system, we basically had nonexistent heat/air in our master bedroom and bathrooms. We now have very comfortable heat/air in these rooms. Tim was easy to talk to. It was like conversing with a good friend. Obviously, Efficiency Air is in the business to make money but, they also educate customers, give them a fair price while satisfying their needs and making them happy with the results. I will definitely recommend Efficiency Air to all my friends and family."

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