"Josh was able to help us out less than 24 hours after I called. We had no AC and it was very hot in our home. He called ahead of his scheduled visit and was able to arrive earlier. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. We discussed future work replacing equipment and will definitely contact Josh to do the job."

"We had our tankless water heater drained - annual maintenance. They show up when they say they will and do it right the first time. In the past we've had issues with AC's, plumbing and more. Evey time they've exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend them for any heating, AC or plumbing. We've used them for well over 20 years and wouldn't want anyone else. They are the best."

"My ac, heater, and thermostat all went out at the same time. I called an hvac company and they said I needed a new furnace and ac and it'd be $12k. I called Heating and Air 365 to try to get a cheaper quote on a new system. Tommy came out and said the system was fine. It just had a short in the thermostat wires by the ac, my dog must have chewed through them. He replaced the wires and fixed something in the furnace and everything is working great. He saved me thousands. It's refreshing to see some honesty out there. He's got my business for life."

"Unfortunately, I needed an HVAC company to fix my AC during a heat wave. Most companies were 5+ days out before they could even diagnose our problem. Called 3 highly visible companies, from their marketing, who said they wouldn't even work on our unit. I went with a referral from a neighbor, mistake. This company took a week to get to us then the tech went MIA for 5 days with no contact when he said he would be back tomorrow with parts. Won't mention their name as there could have been multiple uncontrollable reasons why. I then did a lot of research on different companies across multiple review websites (including Angies) and Excel Air stood out. Once I spoke to the office staff, great experience, they had a tech out to our home in 2 days with our problem diagnosed. Our tech's name was Lucas who was efficient with his time, talked me through what was going on and gave us our estimate which we were happy to move forward with. Lucas fixed our problem in under 20 minutes. Me being me, I watched each step and saw the quality work. He even put in a fuse to ensure the same problem didn't happen again to our transformer. Once he fixed everything and got our new thermostat power, our AC has been working perfectly ever since. I'm now a really big supporter of Excel Air. Their office staff worked with our insurance company after hours and actually updated us (what company does this these days) the entire way. I can't tell you how impressed I was from their office, Lucas and most of all their successful resolution of our problems with our AC. Thank you Excel Air!"

"Michael, James, Keith were all GREAT! I received about 5 estimates for replacing an original 32 year old split level Rheem system. Oasis was neither the least expensive but certainly not the most expensive. They have only been in business a short while but I took a chance with them and they delivered! Prompt, flexible pricing, clean work, friendly. A complete system including duct work and I hardly even knew they were here working. I whole heartedly recommend these guys! (And I do not write reviews!)"

"Robert was great. Communicative before the appointment and called me in advance to let me know he'd be a little later than the original appointment time. Installed our thermostat quickly and helped set it up on our wifi and connect to the app. Tested to make sure it worked correctly. Showed me how to use the parts and removed the old device. The price was the same as quoted prior to the appointment. Very happy."

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