If you’re experiencing issues with your home’s electric furnace, choose Underwood AC LLC for electric furnace repair in Celebration, FL. Avoid delaying the call to see if the problem will get better on its own because it typically won’t. The repair could become more complex and expensive the longer you wait. In the meantime, you could be spending a lot more on heating costs. If you have an older system, it may be better to consider electric furnace replacement instead. Modern electric furnaces are much more efficient than those made 20 or more years ago.
A top concern with electric furnaces is that they can use a lot of electricity. That’s why HVAC experts recommend monitoring your electric bill on a monthly and annual basis. A spike is often the first sign of a problem. Through monitoring, you’ll notice a spike and know to call for help. You may also want to consider a smart thermostat that can monitor you. Those systems can identify spikes in hours rather than weeks or months.
Homeowners should also monitor how their electric furnaces cycle. A typical cycle length is 10-15 minutes, and a typical frequency is 2-3 times per hour. If you notice your furnace turning on and off more frequently, it’s a clear sign you need an electric furnace repair.
Another issue to watch for is tripped circuit breakers. A tripped circuit breaker from time to time usually isn’t cause for concern. However, repeated tripping is an issue. It often indicates a problem with the blower or the furnace’s electrical system.
When should you opt for furnace replacement instead? A nice aspect of electric furnaces is that they can last for several decades. If the repair costs are reasonable, then fixing the system is often the cost-effective choice. If the repair is expensive and the furnace is older, a replacement will usually be the better option. We’ll also recommend replacement if you’re experiencing frequent repairs.
A new electric furnace is an opportunity to re-assess your needs. Manual load calculations have become more advanced over time. We’ll perform that calculation to determine your heating output needs. Once you know the BTUs needed, you can explore energy efficiency and estimated operating costs.
You can also explore advanced features. We usually recommend a smart thermostat, as it can reduce your electric heating costs by a significant amount. Predictive maintenance is an excellent feature to consider as well. These systems can alert you to problems early on and help to avoid expensive repairs. Some have LCDs to display additional information. Others can display that information through your thermostat or via an app on your smartphone.

Irregular cycling
Aging system
Uneven home heating
