"The technician named William responded immediately. He came the same day. He carried out the inspection and fixed the issue for a nominal amount. He then sat down and showed me all the pictures of the furnace. He explained what was wrong. Excellent service overall. I will recommend him for anyone in need of assistance with their central heating and cooling systems."

"I had been using another company and bought an A/C system from them and there were problems. Josh explained the previous company did not install it correctly. He identified and corrected the problems with the previous A/C installation and installed a new A/C system and gas furnace as well. He was very professional, easy to trust, and he did everything he said he was going to do and was on time. The price was reasonable and he is honest and has integrity!"

"I used them a few years before for another heating problem. They are not cheap but they are not over priced. They are reasonable. They are not the cheapest place in town, but they are reasonable and they do good work. I can't give them an A on price because they are not cheap. I would use them again."

"Eddie was able to come out quickly to look at my non-functioning air conditioner. He was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. His price for the work was very reasonable and I trust him and his work. Thankfully, this time is wasnâ t a costly repair but when my A/C does finally give out, Iâ ll be calling Homeright for the install. (Iâ ll also be calling him for a furnace tune up this fall!)"

"Excellent. Max arrived on time and got straight to work. He inspected the furnace, took measurements of the air temp and cleaned all the filters. He provided some helpful information for the potential future replacement of the furnace with options and estimates. Max was professional and personable. The total cost was as quoted. Other companies I contacted either would not give me a quote over the phone, charged to just dispatch a technician, or quoted more than double."

"Pelle Heating & Air, Inc. came over did a really good job at first we had put in a larger air duck and its wasn't quite providing the results I was looking for and I let the owner Steve know and he came back over and made everything work good by putting an inline fan in and we even installed a new attic fan. I would recommend Pelle Heating & Air, Inc. as they really want to do things right and make sure that the customer is satisfied. I just say I'm very happy with the work and really recommend that you give them a try."

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