"Duke did a great job at a fair price. We needed AC and decided to replace our old furnace at the same time. In addition Duke wrapped with insulating bubble wrap our old ducts that were exposed. He tied the drip line into our existing downspout in a neat fashion. I'd highly recommend him (he's a fellow submarine vet too!!)."

"We purchased the $49.99 service call. It was very easy to schedule, and we had someone out within a couple of days. The gentleman who came out was very professional and communicated everything that he was doing and finding. At the end, he provided several options for our furnace. One was to just replace the part that was causing our immediate problem; however, our furnace was 27 years old and there were signs that a couple of other key parts were on their last legs. The other options were to replace the furnace with different types of furnaces. I wasn't comfortable making the call on what we would do at the end of the service call and that was fine. There was no hard sell to make an option then and there. I really appreciated that.
After discussing it, my husband and I decided to replace the furnace with one of the options provided. We called the next day and they sent a couple of folks to replace it within a few days. The two gentleman were professional and thorough, and cleaned up everything before they left. They installed our Nest thermometer rather than the thermometer that came with the furnace, and everything has been working great.

"Global Comfort installed a full HVAC system in my home; 7 new runs for air, new AC unit, new furnace and a new Nest thermostat, all electrical needs. Rudy and his team are respectful, efficient, punctual, competitive in pricing. Rudy walked me through running the system for its first time and explained all the stuff for a brand new system in a house that never had AC. I'm very thankful for the work they did. Highly recommend because their customer service is top notch."

"I recently had a new HVAC system installed by Aireserv, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the beginning, the team was professional, courteous, and informative. They arrived on time and were very thorough in explaining the detailed installation plan, the features of the new system, and how to operate it. The installation went smoothly, and the technicians cleaned the area while working. Once the system was installed, they ran tests to ensure everything was working perfectly and took the time to answer all of my questions. The new HVAC system has been a game-changer in terms of performance. It heats and cools my home more efficiently than my previous unit, and I've noticed a significant improvement in comfort and air quality. The system runs quietly and maintains an even temperature throughout my home. I also appreciate the energy savings I'm already seeing. My energy bills have been noticeably lower, which I can directly attribute to the new system's efficiency. Overall, I'm delighted with the service from Aireserv and the performance of the HVAC system. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of HVAC installation or upgrades. They provided excellent service from start to finish! A BIG THANK YOU TO ALTON THOMPSON AND HIS TEAM FROM AIRESERV."

"Appointment was scheduled between 8am-4pm. Waited all day for the tech (Jeremiah) to arrive. Then received a phone call a little after 3pm indicating they needed to reschedule for the next day almost at the last moment. Needless to say, we got off to a rocky start, but Jeremiah did finally show up around 5pm, isolated the problem in less then 5 minutes, showed me what to do and what not to do when changing batteries out of the thermostat, and pointed out which fuse had blown keeping the furnace from coming on. In conclusion, they made this right, I received a well-needed lesson on minor furnace maintenance, and was able to get the furnace working again. Would I hire this company again? Absolutely, and if you are having problems with your furnace, you might want to consider these people as well!"

"Rittinger responded quickly. Alan, the tradesman they sent over was professional and quick. I hired them to install a clothes dryer vent and to open up a vent in my garage for the hot water heater. The work was high quality and installation was clean."

"Project: Install a Central Air Conditioning System The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our city inspection. Final project turned out great!""

"Absolutely the best HVAC company in the area. If you are looking for a company for your HVAC needs, look no further. It is superb in every aspect: customer service, onsite specialist who did the inspection and quoting, technicians who installed the system. Their price is extremely competitive, especially for the high end systems. I was shopping for a 80% 2-stage furnace but I ended up getting a Lennox 99% variable-speed furnace because the price was too good to pass. But it is money well spent. It is so quiet and powerful. I highly recommend Air Sharks. They actually put a smile on our faces."

"They replaced our failed furnace with the same model, efficiently and at a very affordable price. The installer Bob did and outstanding job, and the QC checker Mizael did a thorough follow-up check of the installation and checked each of the furnace vents for adequate heat. The new furnace very quickly heats our home and is the right size for our home square footage. The Comfort Energy company not only gave us the best price, but is also furnishing two complimentary follow-up maintenance checks. This company deserves a 5 star rating."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Union City, 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.
