"Josh Medina was very professional in his assessment of my job, was prompt in providing a quotation, and did the installation in less than a day. The price not only was less than four competitors, but also included an upgrade to a two-stage system. I could not be more pleased with the entire job, start to finish. These guys know what they are doing."

"After 10 years we decided to put in air conditioning.  Over the past few years we have noticed that we keep having more hot days. We got tired of being "worried" about the heat and roasting.  We shopped around and were surprised at the price differences but more than that the dishonesty in the business.  We decided to use Liberty because of the positive reviews on Angie's List and we were not disappointed.  Everyone was really great to work with and Jerry was a complete joy.  I am a property manager and have over the years dealt with countless home service workers and contractors.  I can't recommend Liberty enough.  They were clean, on time, respectful, honest, and gave me a great deal."

"Wonderful! The Cool Air folks called and came out exactly when they said they would. Fixed and inspected the system and they were very forthcoming about what went wrong (blown fuse) and how to prevent it in the future. Very impressed with their professionalism and expertise."

"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."

"I'd like to take a moment to share with you my experience with Air Care Heating and Cooling who recently installed a new heating furnace replacing our original heater from 1976. After interviewing four reputable local companies in San Diego I chose aircraft based on excellent reviews on Google and Angie's list. Mr Michael Santana (Owner and founder) offered very affordable pricing compared to others not forsaking the quality of/ furnace unit, warranty and exemplary customer care /service. The installation process was flawless. Mr Santana's and staff demonstrated outstanding professional performance, effective communication to answer questions and concerns even adding extras like replacing events and the job completion in a timely manner making the whole process from beginning to end a truly"

"Pedro and his team did an excellent job. My furnace went down in the middle of winter and I needed a replacement right away. I got two quotes and AirTime was several hundred dollars less. Pedro quoted me on the spot and was able to install a new furnace the next morning. The team kept everything clean and walked me through how to best use the furnace and informed me on general maintenance that will need to be performed on a regular basis."

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