"I was very impressed with Robin, my Energy Sharks service professional.  He was on-time, personable, knowledgeable, efficient, and did almost everything I needed to be done (he was not the ductwork professional, so he was only able to do a visual inspection - however, he arranged for them to call me back in two days to see if his servicing provided any improvement to the low air-flow issue).  I had literally just moved into this house, and knew that it had been vacant for about a year, and that it definitely needed an HVAC tune-up, but I was also concerned about the non-existent air-flow to one bedroom.  When I called Energy Sharks, at first I was confused because they answered the phone Pro-Care, but Leah was very pleasant and explained that both companies were under one roof.  She was very delightful, and was concerned, wanting to get me scheduled as quickly as possible, especially when I explained the situation with the non-existent air-flow to one bedroom.  She made me feel good about choosing this company.  And, when Robin arrived, it didn't take long for me to feel very happy about my choice!  I used to work as an HVAC receptionist years ago, so I can honestly say that he was one of the "good guys".  He went out of his way to make sure that everything he could do was done at the most efficient level possible, without charging me an outrageous fee.  I was beyond impressed when he took the extra time to tape down the interior insulation on my air handler, but was even more impressed when he found some wiring that had become dangerous, and took the time to replace it, so that we were safe.  Thank you, Robin!  He admitted that he was not the ductwork professional, and that he would not be able to do much more than a visual inspection regarding my ductwork concerns (the ductwork was not really very accessible, unfortunately).  But, he did advise that if the problem persisted after his tune-up that I have their energy professional or ductwork professional come out to further investigate the situation.  I was delighted to learn that they have a contracting department (Pro-Care) that can assist if we need to cut an access hole on the other side of the house, so they can access the unreachable ductwork.  At this time, I would most definitely recommend Robin and Energy Sharks to others!  Now, all I need to do is wait a few days to see if his tune-up did the trick, or if they will need to come back to do further analysis of my situation."

"We had many issues with our computer - primarily with the CD/DVD drive and iTunes. Jim eliminated over 700 viruses from our computer, which was just the beginning. There continued to be problems within the systems of the computer. Luckily Jim charges by the job and not by the hour because he worked a LONG time to make it all work.  He kept in touch with me and addressed each issue as it arose until the job was done.  He was professional and courteous and hung in there until I was satisfied he had addressed everything. I would highly recommend Jim and will definitely use his services in the future, as needed.

"John Clune from Irish Electric was very friendly and knowledgeable. Before I knew, he had already installed and hooked up the attic fan. I was shocked how quick the install went. Since the installation of the attic fan, I have certainly notice a reduction in heat found on the upper floors. I would certainly use this company again."

"They came in to inspect our firplace and chimney the summer of 2012, and they were honest with us.  The person who came out let us know that our system was in great condition, and did not need any service. He could of easliy over sold us on unnecessary products and services. We appreciate his honesty.

"Awesome, Jeff was very knowledgeable on system and how it would work.  He did not try to sell me something that I did not need.  Other company wanted to install a pump system that would have cost me $10,000 instead of $5080.  Workers were extremely nice and hard working.  They cleaned up their mess everyday before leaving the job site. They had the job done in 2 days instead of 5.

"So far when Choice Home Warranty is needed they are right trying all there mite to complete what need that I have. I call about my heating system today and they started right then trying to locate a technician to repair or as they say replace. I just know it's very cold and we need the heat very much there is small children in the home. I believe the CHW will do what they say they'll do and more."

"Victor and another associate came out to clean my A/C ducts and santize
the system. He came out on time and started working right away. Removed
all vents and clean and santized the covers. Brushed each one out and
vacuumed each vent. Sprayed cleaning solution in the system and the
smell is very nice. He also changed my filter for me. He asked if I wanted my dryer vent cleaned and he
offered me a deal to have that cleaned as well.  Victor was very
professional and efficient.

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Portal, GA

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.
