"Scheduling was a breeze. Technician - Tim - on time and completed service in an efficient manner. Tim is knowledgeable of the workings of all systems and quick to point out things to keep an eye out for. He has worked on our systems for several years. Based on our experience with Climatemakers, they were the first one that my son called when his HVAC needed work and ultimately replacement,"

"I recently returned from a trip to find my heat pump was not working and my house was 50 degrees. It was late so I looked online to search for an HVAC repair service. I am extremely glad I found Galactic Air Inc. I filled out an online service request form and the next morning I got a call. The technician told me when he could get to my house and showed up just as he told me. He was pleasant, courteous, and professional. He found the problem within a few minutes. The connection box in my attic had burned up. I was very lucky my house did not catch fire while I was gone. He repaired the connection box and checked out the rest of my system while he was there. My heat pump is working great now. The price was very reasonable for the work he did. I am 100% satisfied and plan to get the maintenance plan from Galactic Air Inc. to keep my system running well. I highly recommend Galactic Air to anyone looking for a good, professional, and reasonably priced HVAC service."

"David was earlier than the scheduled time. He was very meticulous and thorough with his service of our system. After being advised from another company that our AC needed a full replacement because of a faulty compressor. We decided to get a second opinion. After all the compressor was not faulty. The outside unit was filthy and the system was low on refrigerant. After the total cleaning of the outside unit and addition of some refrigerant the system runs like it had never missed a beat. Now I understand that it is just a matter of time for a 17 year old Trane system but there are still many hours on this system still. Thank you David and Climate Makers for getting us back up and running."

"AC was out less than 24 hours. Call the same day it was out. They scheduled with me the next day in the morning. Austin was very personable, knowledgeable, passionate about fixing my AC. He explained everything to me from the diagnosis to the root of the problem, the solutions, what to look for further in regards to my system, and how to keep it going. I was blown away on how comfortable he made me feel and how easy he explained the process so I can understand. Not only did I get an HVAC fix, but I also got a monthly maintenance agreement for my HVAC so they can come out twice a year to take care of my equipment and keep it up. I do not want to worry about my HVAC system to go down. My oldest son and I worked from home while my wife homeschooled our two younger ones. Lastly, it very difficult to work at home mentally when you have to deal with humidity, high temperatures, and kids who are uncomfortable. I highly recommend Worley's Home Services, and my service technician, Austin Goins. It is great to go with a bigger company where you not only get great service quicker but you have great people like Austin who love what they do and helping people. The leadership of Worley's Home Services is doing a great job of building a culture of great people."

"David has serviced my HVAC system. He troubleshooted and fixed my duct work damper actuators. Another time he corrected my control panel output. He has done regular maintenance on my A/C system. All times he was conscientious to get it done right and answered many questions that I asked him. And his service pricing was very reasonable. Will"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Norfolk, VA

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.
