Electric Furnace Repair

When your furnace quits, you need someone who can find the problem quickly and fix it right. Our technicians specialize in electric heating systems and understand every part that makes them run. From control boards and sequencers to heating elements and fan motors, we’ve seen it all.

Most of the time, we can repair the issue on the first visit. That means your home gets warm again fast, without multiple service calls or guesswork. Reliable repairs help extend the life of your furnace and keep it running efficiently through Central Iowa’s long winter season.

Electric Furnace Installation and Replacement

When your old system finally gives out, we’ll give you a free estimate on a new furnace or heat pump that’s the right fit for your home. An electric unit that’s properly sized for your square footage and insulation makes all the difference in comfort and energy use.

Our team handles the entire job, from removing the old system to installing the new one and testing it for even heat. With the right setup, you’ll enjoy lower utility bills and a furnace that doesn’t struggle when temperatures dip below zero.

Electric Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups

Electric systems rely on precise electrical connections to stay safe and efficient. During each tune-up, our technicians check every component carefully. We inspect wiring, test amperage draw, and make sure limit switches and thermostats are working properly.

Routine maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns and keeps your electric bill under control. It also ensures that your furnace is ready when Iowa’s deep freeze rolls in.

Signs Your Electric Furnace Needs Immediate Attention

Some heating issues show up suddenly. Others creep in over time. Either way, these are signs you shouldn’t ignore:

  • The furnace runs but blows cool air instead of warm
  • A sharp or burning smell when the system turns on
  • Circuit breakers tripping when the heat cycles
  • Whining or grinding noises coming from the blower
  • Rooms that stay cold even when the thermostat is set high
  • If you notice any of these, call Schaal before the problem gets worse. Waiting almost always costs more.
