"Chad came out the same day and did a very thorough analysis of the inside and exterior heat/AC unit. He changed the filters and all his recommendations to both me and with my husband on the phone as well about his concerns. We value his expertise and we are very impressed with this company. Glad we made the decision to switch to ARS."

"In my opinion, Chris Godin is honest, prompt, knowledgeable, hardworking, affordable, and the absolute best! He has saved my bacon a number of times on an aging HVAC system, as well as installed an entirely new system this year. (There are a couple different "Titan" HVAC companies, so make sure you have Chris Godin's company.)"

"First time using Indoor Mechanical for HVAC work. I'm an out of state landlord that must rely on the integrity and honesty of local companies. The Quote for the product and installation was the best of 3 separate quotes.The communication from the initial contact through completion was excellent. The promptness and quality of work were both as promised. I have a tenant that is very helpful in evaluating any work done on the property for me. She was very pleased with the A/C installation by Indoor Mechanical. Based on this one experience I would recommend Indoor Mechanical. Dale Wright"

"Professional approach. Didn't sell me what I didn't need. Quarantined off areas that didn't need to get dusty, cleaned up after themselves. Kept me informed of progress. Hope to never have to hire them again, but if the need arises, they're my first call."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Southport, NC

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.
