"We wanted the main waterline from house to street, and hot water heater replaced. After reading reviews, we chose Wisler Plumbing and Heating to do this work. Wisler reached out daily in advance to let us know who was coming to perform the work. Each employee we met was very professional, responsive, and diligent with their duties. Davey provided us with a quote for this work. Hats off to Matt for replacing the water heater! The waterline was a difficult project, due to the location. Adam and Wes did an outstanding job, excavating, replacing the water line, and for their work on restoring our yard. We will definitely use Wisler Plumbing and Heating again for any projects we may have in the future!"

"We moved to Lynchburg 30 years ago. We have used Woolridge since we moved. We added a second unit upstairs to help with A/C in the summer. We have a 2 heat pumps as well as a forced, warm air gas furnace. We've had to replace them once or twice, again using Woolridge. We have them do our twice-yearly check up & tune-up for all systems. We used them to put in a whole house generator 2 years ago. EVERYTHING Woolridge has done has been professionally installed, the semi annual tune-ups are always done by helpful courteous young professionals. They wear shoe covers in the house, masked up during Covid & are always prompt( if they run behind the office always calls to update us), they are thorough & efficient. They answer any questions & are, in our opinion Number One! I'm getting ready to call them after the ice & snow melts to add a hardwired baseboàrd unit in the kitchen. We recommend Wooldrige whole heartedly."

"This was the best service I have ever received from a HVAC company. The guy worked on my furnace for over an hour until he fixed it. It ended up costing for the service call only due parts not being added to the furnace. He was very personable and did a great service for me. I will always use this company for my needs in the future."

No one looks forward to having a major system to their house worked on, but Caleb ensured it would be fixed and done correctly and professionally. This customer is 1000% satisfied and would recommend to everyone"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Bedford, VA

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.
