"I thought my furnace went out so I called chance because he was recommended by a fellow (church Member). He came out the same day and diagnosed the problem as a faulty thermostat. He installed a new one and now my furnace works! He was very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining the issues and I’m very grateful for his help. I will definitely hire him again."

"Rick was excellent from the initial consult and estimate to the installation. He was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining things to me. (I always have a lot of questions). Heâ s a personable and highly capable owner who handles the repairs and installation himself. My furnace was 24 years old and when it finally went kaput. Rick was a pleasure to do business with."

"Great. They were very thorough, checking the air ducts, measuring the temperature of the air leaving the ducts, and explaining the problem to me. I received a call the day of the appointment refining their ETA, got a call when they left their previous appointment and received an accurate final ETA. The workers wore masks, had uniforms, identified themselves, wore disposable booties in the house, were very professional and courteous."

"Note: The work performed was for replacement of the Triangle Tube boiler for my radiant heating and domestic hot water system. There was no option matching this so I selected heat pump. Sean and Climate Services was assigned to my service request by my home warranty company and I am so glad they did. My Triangle Tube boiler was failing to ignite and Sean determined it was due to a cracked heat exchanger. It was decided to install a new Triangle Tube boiler due to the age of the old unit. This started a chain of events which included receiving new boilers that were damaged and the closure of the Triangle Tube company. Sean worked with the distributor to return the Triangle Tube boiler and replace it with a Navien system which has worked beautifully. Sean is meticulous, pays attention to detail and takes great pride in his work. I am planning to use Climate Services to design and install a multi-zone mini-split system for the same house."

"I hired Volkman Heating and Air to install a heat pump system for three rooms. That was all I wanted. But, when they were finished, I decided to have them do the rest of the house as well. Anyone can promise you great, professional service. Itâ s rare that they actually deliver everything they promise without compromise. Thanks! Iâ m now ready for the heat of summer to begin."

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