"My expectations were exceeded during my furnace tune-up for the winter of 2021. My furnace is running a lot more efficient. The service technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He shared the condition of my system before and after the tune-up. I'm looking forward to lower heating bills as a result of all the adjustment made. Thank you so much Schneller and Knochelmann Plumbing, Heating, and Air!"

"We had them replace a pair of 20 year old hot water tanks with a tankless system. They didn't nickle and dime us on every piece of pipe and installed a quality system. The technician left the work area super clean and neat. A great experience and I will hire them again."

"Had to replace an ancient Jenn-Air drop-in range with downdraft (installed in 1979) with a new LG duel fuel gas stove/electric oven range slide in. Knew it would take some work. Randy and Dan were great during the installation. Tim was very responsive."

"I had 3 projects for the electrician. The first two were completed in a professional manner (replace all undercoutner lights and replace switch box to dining room chandelier) and I could highly recommend that service. However, my only complaint was I needed two flood lights to replace lights in 12 foot ceiling that I was unable to reach. The electrician had 3 different lights so I was unable to get them replaced since they were different. Very disappointing since now I still have to find someone to do the job."

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Covington, KY

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.
