"Job: We had Randy's Electric install 6 canned lights on dimmer switches and fix some on-going electrical problems that we've had. Pretty simple, one-day job. Pros: Overall we thought the quality of work was very good. The canned light installation looks great and they fixed the other annoying electrical issues without a hitch. They completed the scope of work quickly and were very accommodating to getting us on booked on their schedule. They didn't leave a mess in the house at all and it appears as though they didn't need to access the attic to run the electrical lines for the cans. We were concerned over accessing the attic because we recently had an insulation job done and we didn't want that to be messed up if possible. A pretty simple job but they got it done with good workmanship and the priced seemed fair for electrical work. Cons: There were two main issues that we had with this project, one of which may be the result of us not being up-to-date with current canned lighting technology. The canned lights look great but according to feedback I got from Randy's Electric, the bulbs are built-in LED's with the trim fixture. So, no unscrewing a canned bulb, you have to pull the entire trim fixture out with the bulb inside to replace them. We were never consulted on this at all or other canned lighting options during the quote. Apparently, it was you get these canned lights and that's it. So, every time I need to change the fixture/bulb combo I have to called Randy's Electric for support? That doesn't seem cost effective for us. Apparently, the bulb/trim fixtures are guaranteed for 5 years but what happens after that? I guess I'm on my own to figure out how to swap these bulb/fixtures in the event that they go out. The other issue was that because we had that insulation job done in the attic, we were concerned over heat loss from punching the holes in the ceiling for the cans, which is a necessary thing but can result in significant heat loss. We were never advised from Randy's about how, or even if they do, seal the canned lights for heat loss. I hope they did, and based on the workmanship, they're probably sealed them, but we thought it would be good to know for sure. So, that's the reason for the 3.5 stars for customer service. Overall, we thought they did a good job and I'd hire them again but they need to be a little bit better during the quote process about detailed items as discussed above."

"Arrived on time and preformed the most thorough furnace inspection I have ever had. They took the furnace apart, inspected inside of it in hard to reach places with cameras and answered every question I had (I had several questions). They went so far above and beyond my expectations that they are the only company I'll use going forward."

"Every now and then, you're lucky enough to find this one contractor who goes beyond what to expect from a great contractor. Total Home Solutions is that contractor. I needed a new furnace and got a number of great quotes. I went with the contractor who made me feel the most confident and that was Total Home Solutions. Troy answered all my questions thoroughly and then some. He also gave me some terrific price options and was able to schedule me in quickly. Troy and his crew arrived on time, and installed my new furnace, in a rather tight area, in no time and left my furnace area spotless. I can't thank Total Home Solutions enough, or rate them high enough."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Northfield, MN

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.
