"This was absolutely the best service I could have imagined. My vents went from filthy to spotlessly clean. I feel as if I can breath again. The value for the services provides was excellent. The technician, Elie, was fantastic. He was so service oriented and treated my wife and I like his own family. He worked with us on pricing so it was affordable and he gave us a ten year "club membership" for only $999.00 which gives us ten years of maintenance, twice a year for the next ten years to keep our heating and cooling systems updated and clean. I strongly recommend The Right Choice Heating and Air. They are fantastic. Thank you, Elie, for everything and keeping my family healthy! You're the bomb!"

"This company is the best! They installed a new HVAC system a little over a year ago and it was a terrific experience. They had a great price, were prompt, clean, polite and the system works perfectly. They came for a routine service and replaced a filter. Prompt, polite, and no pressure to upsell. Just very honest, fair price and great in every way."

"My experience with Tim from Efficiency Air was fabulous from the first day that I met him. He was friendly, professional, and after talking with him for several minutes it became clear that he was quite familiar and knowledgeable with HVAC systems. Being that he had a background in mechanical engineering was a big plus. The first thing that he wanted to do before answering our questions was to educate us on the different systems available and how they work. I was impressed by that approach. Our gas furnace was situated in a closet in the center of our house. Since we didn't a want a gas furnace in the house (actually it was my wife that didn't want the gas furnace) we decided on a heat pump condenser which was the best choice for us. It would be installed outside and the air handler, which moves the air, would be installed in our attic. The now empty closet would be converted in to a pantry at a future date. Tim went over the pros and cons of a gas furnace and heat pump. Based on his summation of the pros and cons we decided that the heat pump was the way to go for us. The following day I got his proposal and cost for our system. It was reasonable and I believe a fair price considering the extra cost for new ducting and putting the air handler in the attic. The new ducting made a huge difference. I knew that I would be hiring Tim after he left our home. It was just a gut feeling based on the way he treated us, educated us, being patient with our questions and his superb knowledge of HVAC systems. I made an appointment to have our new system installed one week later. He arrived at the scheduled date early and his crew arrived a few minutes later. Tim told me that he has a habit of arriving early on all his jobs. That also impressed me. There were five guys on site including Tim and they were well organized and got to work immediately. Tim supervised the entire installation. He only left 3-4 times during the day to get parts and meet a customer. They laid out padding to protect our floors and were very careful when working inside our home. His crew were very nice and they worked very hard. I didn't ask many questions but they didn't seem to be bothered when I did asked them a question or two. Tim took his time and explained what was being done. Not only did his crew remove the old furnace from the closet but they cleaned it thoroughly, vacuumed, and cut out all the old ducting, gas line, air vents, etc. and covered the holes that remained. They also did a beautiful job in putting the air handler in the attic. They had to cut an opening in our master bath area to get the air handler in. The opening was finished very nicely. They also had to cut a hole for a new return air filter grill. It was finished beautifully. Tim and his crew completed the work in one day. They cleaned up everything, vacuumed the stairs, the hallway, and the garage where they had staged a work area. I am so very impressed with the work that Tim and his crew did for us. They certainly made every effort to make sure that everything was installed exactly and to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Efficiency Air to anyone that is considering a new HVAC system. Efficiency Air exceeded my expectations for a job that was exceptionally well done. My wife and I are very happy with our new system. As promised by Tim, we now have exceptional airflow, great heating and air conditioning. Prior to our new system, we basically had nonexistent heat/air in our master bedroom and bathrooms. We now have very comfortable heat/air in these rooms. Tim was easy to talk to. It was like conversing with a good friend. Obviously, Efficiency Air is in the business to make money but, they also educate customers, give them a fair price while satisfying their needs and making them happy with the results. I will definitely recommend Efficiency Air to all my friends and family."

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