"Trying to find a company to replace my ac unit was going to be an adventure. When I was contacted by Jared, he made it very easy to understand. He came to my home looked over the current system and explained what I needed to do, gave me several different options and the cost of each option, explained in detail what would be done and was very impressed. Jared made my decision very easy. Jared is very knowlegable, answered all my questions and made my choise so much easier. Jared is a great asset to his company. Would highly recommend Jared and WatersMachanical to any of my friends and family. Five Stars *****"

"When our smaller AC unit failed, we hired Galbreath and Sons to repair it. Because the repair would have been costly, Steven offered us several options so we could make an informed decision about whether to repair or replace. He spent three hours inspecting our system and explaining our options, thoroughly answering all of our questions. He never rushed us to make a decision. We decided to replace our two inadequate systems with a zoned system, a two-day job that required extensive duct work. Richard and his crew were prompt and efficient; they worked hard in miserable heat and cleaned up after themselves. We are extremely satisfied with the new system. Galbreath and Sons did great work, and we would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them again."

"We are in an area where heat and air companies are very poor. I will use them again. I have signed them up for my maintenance. They didn't install the system and one company actually installed one backwards. Communication is important and you need to make sure everything is in writing with heat and air companies. My husband and I would recommend them. It has improved what we had before. They have been very good about rectifying any situation."

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