"It went well. I was surprised at how much these systems cost. We had 6 estimates, and Golden Aire was near the lowest. I appreciated Ken's attention to the specific needs in our house. He recommended custom improvements. The install was quick and scheduling was easy. The County inspector was impressed with their work."

"Huft Home Services replaced my regular HVAC company when the owners retired. Comfort Master had installed my system in 1995 so we had a 25-year personal relationship. Ed and Donna were still using hardcopy records. When I called Huft on May 12 and talked with Elizabeth, we were able to confirm and establish the status of my ongoing services. We discussed the 2 different areas of work needed, HVAC regular maintenance and an urgent plumbing service for a leaking irrigation valve system. We scheduled the irrigation repair quickly, but I was very disappointed to discover that the repair person was unable to do that work and found out that Huft actually did not work on irrigation. Fortunately I was able to find a provider who came out the next day and did exceptional work – I highly recommend Authentic Landscape/Salvador Gallardo for that work. However, rather than make a complaint, I figured I'd wait to see how the HVAC service went. That appointment was scheduled for a couple weeks later. Anthony was fantastic. He called to let me know he was running late from his previous job. Maybe it was just because I wasn't up on current services, but I am highly impressed that he was able to take many photos of my system and his work – and instantly email them and my invoice to me! He went over in great detail the status of the equipment and anticipation of potential repairs needed over time along with likely cost estimates. We also discussed possible replacements for when I decided I was ready for a new unit. I will certainly continue my maintenance with Huft, and not just because I'm prepaid for a couple more years of biannual services."

"The whole process was a lot less inconvenient than I thought it would be. The estimate was far below other companies I had contacted. Glen knew exactly what I would need in my house. He has serviced Sun City homes for a long time and his assessment was quick and accurate. Other companies spent an hour trying to figure out what kind of system I would need. The installation was also easier than I thought. I did not have to move anything. They covered every thing that might get dusty. There was absolutely no mess when they left. I’m still waiting for my inspection. But everything appears to be working quite well."

"I spent days troubleshooting what I thought was a wiring issue with a new thermostat, which had crippled our HVAC system. I finally gave up and had Advanced Comfort come take a look. Within minutes, Mike diagnosed the issue, which turned out to be a small proprietary fuse on the furnace circuit board that had blown. He tracked down the hard-to-find part and replaced it, sticking around to cycle the system and make sure everything ran smoothly. It was frustrating to need the help, but I never would've diagnosed the problem without them. From the time of our first contact to project completion, it was less than four hours. Highly recommended."

"Most of the companies I contacted only want to sell me a whole new expensive system, and won't work on a floor heater like mine. The tech from Valley, even though they are in the business of systems, had had previous experience with floor furnaces and agreed to come out. Diagnostics came before demanding a contract be signed. Got the part and installed it within 4 days. And the lady in the office kept me informed all the way. Thoroughly recommend this company."

The system has never worked better. Will be using him a my go-to HVAC professional and advise you all to use his services as well."

"We recently had our Central A/C installed, and the whole experience was fantastic. The team arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and finished the installation faster than expected. The system works perfectly, and our home feels so much more comfortable now. We later used them for a water heater replacement as well, and the quality of work was just as impressive!"

"when my ancient system broke down during a heat wave Andriy did his best to try to save the unit but when it proved hopeless he helped me through the process of getting a SMUD rebate and the loan process for a new system. I appreciated that he tried to save the old beast though"

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