"The 2026 Ice Storm was very intense in my area (Oxford. MS). A tree fell across the power line coming to my house causing significant damage to the electrical system. It pulled the line down, pulled the meter off the wall resulting in power loss. I looked on-line and found Breaker Brothers. I called and they were here the next day. They diagnosed the house electrical system and repaired the damage. Breaker Brothers were very responsive and highly professional. I would recommend Breaker Brothers to anyone needing electrical work. They are very good."

"When my heater stopped working I was able to get a technician out that afternoon. I have an old HVAC system so they didn't have the part in stock, but he was able to get me running again that day and said he would order a replacement part that day. The part come in sooner than expected and the technician called to schedule time that afternoon to come out to install the new part. During the entire process everyone at the company provided great service and did exactly what they said they would do. I have used the owner of the business for 14 years to meet my business and personal HVAC needs - every install and repair has been excellent just like my last repair this winter."

"This was a great experience. Greg came out to check out our Samsung dryer that wasn’t heating. He diagnosed the issue as a bad thermostat and replaced it. He didn’t try to needlessly upsell us. He was very knowledgeable, polite, and punctual. Will definitely use him again. Thanks, Greg!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in University, MS

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.
