Electric heat, and the blower that moves it.
Electric furnaces and air handlers use heat strips and a blower instead of a flame. We repair, replace and install them, and help you decide when a heat pump would serve you better.
- Components: Heat strips, sequencers, blower, control board
- Tests: Amperage, temperature rise, continuity
What it is, and why it matters.
Electric furnaces and heat-pump air handlers share a design: a cabinet with a blower, a coil and electric resistance heat strips. Faults tend to be electrical: failed sequencers or relays, burned-out heat strips, tripped limits, bad blower motors or capacitors, or a control board that has stopped responding.
Nashville HVAC services and installs electric furnaces and air handlers across Middle Tennessee. We test each stage of the heat strips, measure amperage and temperature rise and check wiring and breakers. When replacement is on the table, we compare a new electric unit with a heat pump, which can heat with less electricity in mild weather.
Four things done right.
Electrical diagnosis
Meters and a methodical check find the failed strip, relay or board.
Honest comparisons
A heat pump can lower operating costs in many homes, and we show you the numbers.
Right-sized heat
Strip kits are sized to the load and the breaker, not guessed.
Safe wiring
We check connections, breakers and limits as part of the service.

Electric Furnaces and Air Handlers: common questions
Why is my electric heat weak?
Common causes are a failed heat strip or sequencer, a tripped limit, a dirty filter or a failing blower. Measuring amperage and temperature rise shows which.
Is a heat pump better than electric resistance heat?
In many Middle Tennessee homes a heat pump uses much less electricity for the same heat, especially in mild weather. We compare costs for your house.
