Introduction to Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces have many benefits over oil and gas furnaces. Many homeowners choose them because they’re less expensive to buy and install, and because electricity is available in any home, while other fuels are not as easily accessible.
There’s no risk of carbon monoxide emission or other harmful byproducts, and electric furnaces lose less heat than systems that require flues, chimneys, or other venting systems.
What Causes Electric Furnaces To Break?
When your electric furnace isn’t turning on or isn’t putting out enough heat, it may be due to one or more of these issues:
- Blown fuses or tripped breakers
- Dirty filters, blower assembly, or blocked registers
- Improperly mounted or fastened access panels
- Under-lubricated, damaged, or worn belts
- Broken heating element
- Unbalanced distribution system
Whatever the issue is with your electric furnace, Schneller Knochelmann can diagnose and fix it with minimal inconvenience to you.

- The furnace is at least 15 years old.
- The unit makes consistent loud noises during normal operation.
- Your furnace can’t heat your home evenly.
- Your energy bills are climbing.
- You’ve had to call for multiple repairs in a short period.
