"We had what we thought would be an easy installation of a ceiling fan in our spare bedroom/home office. With the HVAC system also near that space and the position of the fan, they had a lot of challenges that we didn't anticipate. They were very professional in explaining what they encountered, how it might impact our final cost, and what our options were. They were so prompt, courteous, and professional that we now use them for all of our electrical projects and needs including routine maintenance and checks."

"Came up to Silverthorne for an overnight stay and discovered our electric hot water heater was leaking and needed replacement. I immediately went to Lowes and purchased a new hot water heater and was told it would be 3 days minimum to install. I went to HomeAdvisor on my smart phone and found Alpine Home Solutions and called from the store. I spoke with Richard (the owner) and he said he would pick up the heater at Lowes at 8am the next morning. He actually showed up at my place at 8am and hauled it up a flight of outside stairs and explained his installer(Neil) would be there at noon for the install. Neil showed up at 11:59 am and preceded to do a great job of installation in a very tight space. Neil explained to me on how to change the water temperature if needed and did an excellent job of protecting our floor coverings and he cleaned up everything very well. Richard came back right after the install to inspect and everything was A-OK. I can't say enough good things about Alpine Home Solutions, LLC and the way they do business. The were very prompt and performed the work in a VERY TIMELY manner. My wife and I are totally impressed with this company and the quality of their work. I would HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE !!!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Athol, ID

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.
