"All About Heat & Air just installed two new heat pumps, replacing our old ones. The installers were very professional and did a great job. We also got much better systems at a similar price compared to other estimates. The Co inspector was just here and both systems passed. He commented on the high quality of the install and said that All About Heat & Air does some of the best work around. He also noted that Bosch units seem to be far superior compared to other top brands. He wished he had Bosch in his home. Thanks again for a job well done."

"We previously used another company for tuneups. When I called to ask them to send someone out because the air upstairs was cool, (on the warm side) but not cold, the receptionist said that's because it's a heat pump. I tried to explain to her that it had previously been cold but again she said it would just feel cool. I wasn't going to argue, their loss. I called Comfort Central after looking at the reviews on Angie's list. Kevin and his son came out and all I can say is, unbelievable service! We had the upstairs and downstairs units serviced. They were here approx 2.5 hours for the tuneup! They really took their time. Other company in and out in 15 minutes for the tuneups. Also, the unit upstairs has also never heated in the winter. The other company told us the upstairs unit was too small and it needed to be replaced. Kevin, the owner of Comfort Central said it was the right size. A LARGE loss of freon was the culprit for the cool air. Kevin said that sooner or later the upstairs outdoor unit would need replaced due to the amount of freon lost. Also, the capacitor needed replaced. There was no pressure, gave the option to refill with freon or look at a new unit. Told them they would have a decision the next day. Decided to put in freon for the time being and replace the capacitor at this time. The nicest tech came out, tested the unit again just to make sure and we were up and running in an hour or so. The upstairs is now colder than EVER before and the unit doesn't run constantly. This is an A+++ Company! Owner, technicians and office staff!!
** As a side note for women - Although my husband was here, they also talked to me. I didn't feel talked down to, or ignored/annoyed when I had questions. I also feel very comfortable that they would have given me the same price as a single woman, as they gave my husband. I know this is important as sometimes we don't know much about fixing mechanical items and we do get charged a higher price than men. Very courteous and trustworthy gentlemen!

Customers say: True professional

"Pretty good overall, though there was delay in ordering parts and after installation, they had to return the next day to adjust cables in one of the furnaces which had gone out. All works fine now. The bill came in a bit under the estimate and there was no charge for coming out to make the adjustment. (Their initial call out to assess the situation was reasonable, ~$65 w/ tax.)"

"Excellent service. Tech called when he was enroute. Upon arrival he explained what he was going to do & that if he found any issues/problems he would talk to me before doing anything. He did the servicing thoroughly in about an hour. He made one recommendation for a change to the air return but wasn't pushy about it. He said it was just an idea to make changing the filter easier. He also brought up another recommended system change/addition and we discussed future service options. Overall it was very good service. I would use them again."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Mills River, NC

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.
