About Electric Heating

Clean, simple heat for homes without gas service

We repair and replace electric furnaces and heat strips, and we help you decide whether upgrading to a heat pump could cut your winter bills.

Questions About Electric Heating

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Is electric heat expensive?

Electric resistance heat is usually more expensive to run than a heat pump or a gas furnace, though it is simple and safe.

Should I upgrade from an electric furnace to a heat pump?

Often it is worth looking at, because a heat pump uses much less electricity for the same heat. We help you estimate the benefit.

Why is my electric furnace blowing cool air?

Possible causes include a failed heating element, sequencer, relay or limit switch. A diagnosis finds which.
