"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."

"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."

"He showed up promptly at 8 am. Came in, took a look at the water damage, and the drain hole in the balcony. He provoded me with some insight on how the works usually go and what to expect. I am going to try one of his suggestions to quickly fix the leak, but of that did not work, i will need a more drastic fix."

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