When we start looking for an electric forced air furnace, we’re usually interested in the price of a new unit. However, we need to keep in mind that the initial price of the furnace represents the smallest of the 3 costs we need to account for when calculating the overall electric furna...
Dual fuel heat pump system repairs cost between $200 and $2,200. They use an air source system until the temperature reaches 30 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, they switch to a forced hot air gas furnace. Since they use an air source unit most of the time, you still save energy an...

1000 square foot home won’t keep up with the needs of a larger three- or four-thousand-square-foot home. Furnaces designed for larger homes will provide moreheating capacity(BTUs), which can require larger/higher capacityheat exchangers. As you would expect, a bigger furnace means a bigger...
Wall Colmonoy developed the very first heat exchanger overhaul procedure for the US Air Force. Prior to that in the 1950s, Wall Colmonoy invented Nicrobraz® nickel-based brazing filler metal and pioneered high temperature furnace brazing. Even today, Nicrobraz® is used extensively in heat exch...
Replacing a furnace in a central heating system can take a day or two, and possibly longer depending on the condition of the existing lines and pipes. A furnace in a central heating system typically has a burner, where the fuel is delivered and consumed; a heat exchanger (or exchangers) ...
Since your furnace uses gas to heat your home, it must have safety features in place to prevent it from overheating or breaking. If those safety components fail, necessary parts of the furnace, like the heat exchanger, can break more easily. Fortunately, your switch acts as a safety device...
You can also use a combination, such as installing an electric heater with a propane furnace. A solar heater is another option, which reduces energy bills. The following costs are for the needs of a 3 to 4-bedroom home with average water usage: Fuel Type Average Unit Costs Electric $450...
