"The furnace inside my rental home was going bad and it was winter time. I had Charlie go out to the house and meet me there. He looked at and told me right away that the furnace in there was over 25 years old and I needed a new one. He has installed the new, up to date one and it is working great. Charlie is a very nice, personable guy and he wants to make you a happy customer. I highly recommend Next Level Heating and Air Conditioning. They are all great workers."

"I cannot recommend Climate Services Heating and A/C strongly enough. We asked Sean to come out, inspect our system and give recommendations. His knowledge, expertise and demeanor were clearly evident. Discussions were comfortable, no pressure and Sean took the time to answer all questions. His bid was very competitive and we felt comfortable moving forward with the project. He was accurate with time and costs. Sean's crew was exceptional; friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Sean was available by phone or text, prompt with updates, and very clear with communications. We are very happy with the quality of the work!"

"Robert and his crew were timely, professional and did a great job with the install. Robert went above and beyond the call of duty. Because of personal circumstances in my life I had some anxiety about handling this type of homeowner business. Robert was kind and caring. He not only did a great job replacing my furnace but helped to patiently ease my mind along the way. I felt good supporting a small local business too."

"Justin installed new heating / AC heat pump system. He also installed all new ducting with larger ones thus giving us greater air flow. He created a split system for up and down stairs which we did not have previously. For us Justin was very professional and easy to work with. He gave us options and discussed how much it would cost and what it would do for us as well as if it was worth the money. Nothing was hidden from us. Loved that no matter what or how many questions we asked he was happy to answer them for us. As far as the job it turned out great. Our job took five days and Just cleaned up every night before he left which we appreciated. Overall we were extremely happy with Justin and his work that was preformed. It was well worth the money and we feel that a person could not go wrong with hiring Justin Old Redwood Heating and Cooling."

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