Electric Furnace Repair & Replacement
It likely comes as no surprise that many electric furnace repair issues are power-related. We recommend checking your electric panel as a first step. If the breaker for the furnace has tripped, you can reset it. An isolated tripped breaker usually isn’t cause for concern. If it trips again, don’t continue to reset it. There’s the potential for damage to your electrical system and your furnace. Our team will perform a full diagnostic to determine the cause.
A furnace that won’t turn on is a clear sign of a problem, but there are less obvious signs to watch for. Monitor your electricity consumption month to month and year to year. A spike in energy usage is often the first indication of a furnace problem. You should also monitor how your system cycles. A typical cycle is two to three times an hour for about 10 to 15 minutes. More frequent cycling can suggest a wide range of problems with your furnace.
If you have an aging system, how do you decide whether to repair or replace your electric furnace? The answer depends, and we’ll base our recommendation on the age and condition of your furnace. The first step to an efficient electric furnace replacement is a load calculation. We’ll use modern calculation techniques to determine the ideal output for your home. You can then evaluate the efficiency of models in that output class. All furnaces have an Energy Guide label. That label will provide you with an estimate of how much the furnace will cost to run each year.
You may also want to consider hybrid heating. This is where we install both a heat pump and a furnace. The heat pump will provide more affordable heating most of the time. However, it will have a cold-temperature threshold at which it’s no longer efficient. At that point, the system will turn the heat pump off and activate the electric furnace. This approach is more expensive up front, but tends to be much more affordable over the life of the system.
A modern electric furnace can provide you many benefits:
- Lower heating costs
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Better indoor air quality
- Faster and more robust heating
