"During the first year of home ownership, we encountered several plumbing and HVAC issues that needed to be addressed. We were assigned Dan's Service Plus through our home warranty company. Dan's Service Plus handled all of our issues very well. One of their service technicians, Chuck, was assigned to address most of our plumbing needs. He did a thorough job to fix the issues and never left a mess after he finished. We had also requested an estimate for a small renovation project as well as an estimate for a new furnace. Dan and Gregg came out to complete estimates right away. We will certainly keep them in mind when financial resources become available for the projects. Overall, we feel Dan's Service Plus has been very responsive, courteous and most of all they get the job done right. It's great to know a plumbing and HVAC company that we can trust in the Wausau area. Highly recommend!"

"We contacted Comfort Touch on a Sunday night. We explained what was happening with our furnace. He let us know an emergency visit would not help us. He came promptly Monday morning, assessed our issue, found the part locally. explained the potential cost, picked up our part and installed it all in less than 90 minutes. He also determined the warranty was applicable and completed all of the paper work for us. His rate was fair and reasonable. A very nice man that thoroughly explained everything and made me feel comfortable and confident in his assessment. If we experience any issues in the future he will be our first call. I can't recommend him enough. A furnace breakdown in January when the high is 25 is never good but Comfort Touch brought the good to a bad situation. Thank you!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Wausau, WI

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.
