"Appointment was scheduled between 8am-4pm. Waited all day for the tech (Jeremiah) to arrive. Then received a phone call a little after 3pm indicating they needed to reschedule for the next day almost at the last moment. Needless to say, we got off to a rocky start, but Jeremiah did finally show up around 5pm, isolated the problem in less then 5 minutes, showed me what to do and what not to do when changing batteries out of the thermostat, and pointed out which fuse had blown keeping the furnace from coming on. In conclusion, they made this right, I received a well-needed lesson on minor furnace maintenance, and was able to get the furnace working again. Would I hire this company again? Absolutely, and if you are having problems with your furnace, you might want to consider these people as well!"

"I spent about $4,000 on the work. My overall experience with them was good. There is this one room that still feels like it just gets a lot less air than all the other rooms. I called before and they came out and looked at it and put a crimp in the duct to make it slow and it did not really work and I haven?t called him back because I have been super busy. They came in and did the work very promptly and did it as promised and said that they were going to remove in one day and replace everything the next day. It was all done and it was very clean and tidy. They always return my calls and that part went really well."

"I have had Guerrero's out to several of our residential properties over the years. This company has replaced two units for us. A ground unit and a roof unit. They have also replaced old thermostats with new eco friendly ones and fixed other problems like a dead capacitor (took 15 minutes to diagnose), bad board, etc., very quickly and for a reasonable price. They show up at the time they say they will show up. That means a lot to us. I absolutely do not want to be waisting hours of my time waiting on a contractor that may be running late but doesn't have the decency to call me. Guerrero's does quality professional work in a timely manner. I can trust this company is doing me right and not over charging me and will do a professional job in a timely manner. We are very lucky to find Guerrero's and will continue to use Guerrero's for any of our AC/Heating needs."

"Jim's Air Systems had the best value for my dollar. They supplied me with better equipment than they quoted for the same price. They completed the entire installation in about five hours. They protected my floors with tarps and were very careful to protect my walls as they moved equipment in and out. Josh, the son of the original Jim, was on the job working with the other two installers. They performed above my expectations. They left my home and yard as clean as if they had never been there. The new furnace is wonderful and is already saving me money on my P.G. & E. bill. I would recommend Jim's Air Systems unconditionally to anyone in need of a new furnace and AC system. This is a family business that has been supplying and installing systems since 1976. They take personal pride in doing an excellent job. They did not sell me anything that I did not need and provided me with a much cleaner and easier-to-service installation than my existing system. They are the best!"

"Peter evaluated the drainage problem with the old furnace system and suggested a cost effective solution. We decided to install a new furnace unit rather than simply correct the problem. Work was done on schedule."

"Juan and his team were top tier professional. From the initial consultation to the hvac installation, they handled everything with care. Juan was so thorough answering my questions, the install was done in time, and everything was to spec. When I contacted him with an issue after install, him and his business partner came to take care of things immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat. So grateful for the work they did with removing our furnace and installing a split unit heat pump. Thank you Juan!"

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