"The experience was very positive from the provider selection decision through the actual installation. Joe was quick to understand my general heating and A/C situation and make recommendations appropriate for my expressed needs and preferences, consistent with best residential HVAC practices. Pricing was very competitive. The installers Mike and Randy were professional, courteous, and careful throughout their work, and completely cleaned up the installation site when they were done. They arrived on time. They were responsive and very informative in regard to all my questions, and provided guidance regarding system operation after installation. I look forward to Droegkamp Furnace being my new heating and A/C service provider."

The team at Kettle Moraine consistently delivers top-notch service, they're prompt, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about doing the job right. Highly recommend them to any homeowner looking for reliable HVAC maintenance!"

"Wow. I called Temperature Pro for a fall furnace check up and I ended up buying a 2 year maintenance contract for a very good price. The company called me in summer to send someone out to check the a/c unit. I am totally pleased with the work they do(did), and I am thrilled with the work and reliability of this company. This is the best furnace company I have every dealt with."

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