"I originally reached out to Eagle regarding insulation under my house. We discussed that job and then we discussed attic insulation, which I knew to be a problem, and they were able to complete both jobs at the same time. Dustin is very knowledgeable and able to offer solutions on the spot. All of the people that I have come into contact with, from Dustin and Justin to the workers involved and the salesman and office staff, were pleasant, courteous, and professional. The work was done well and at what I believe was a very fair price."

"After a competitor quoted me $3,000 - $5,000 telling me I needed a new evaporator, Pulles saved me thousands of dollars by checking with the manufacturer of my unit and getting the part covered under warranty. The first guy told me it was out of warranty, which it as by a few months. However Pulles called the manufacturer and ask for an exception and they agreed. The final cost was less than $500. If you need your AC serviced, don't bother with any of the other contractors call Hector at Pulles."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Ville Platte, LA

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.
