Electric furnaces, air handlers, and modular blowers are essential components of many modern heating and cooling systems. Often referred to as fan coils, these systems provide forced-air heating and cooling for homes without access to natural gas or propane—or for homeowners looking to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Unlike gas furnaces that rely on combustion, electric heating systems use electric resistance elements or hydronic heating to warm air before distributing it throughout the home. This makes them a reliable and flexible solution for a wide range of residential applications.

Many electric furnaces and air handlers are designed to integrate seamlessly with heat pumps, allowing homeowners to enjoy both heating and cooling from a single system. When paired with a heat pump and hydronic coil, these systems can operate as hydronic forced-air solutions—circulating hot water from a boiler to efficiently heat the home.
This hybrid approach delivers exceptional comfort, improved efficiency, and a consistent indoor temperature, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who prefer hydronic heating over traditional electric resistance systems.
Electric furnaces and air handlers are available in multiple configurations to suit different comfort needs and budgets:
Operate at one fixed blower speed, running at full capacity when active. These are the most affordable option but provide less precise temperature control and lower efficiency.
Operate at preset speeds, offering better airflow control and improved comfort compared to single-speed models—while remaining cost-effective.
The most advanced option, automatically adjusting blower speed in real time based on heating and cooling demand. These systems deliver superior energy efficiency, consistent temperatures, and enhanced humidity control.
Electric furnaces and air handlers offer flexible heating options, including:
Heat Pump Compatibility – Designed to work with heat pumps ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons, providing efficient heating and cooling in mild to moderate climates.
Electric Heating Elements – Available from 3kW to 25kW, allowing systems to be sized correctly based on home size, climate, and heating demand.
Electric furnaces and air handlers draw in air, heat or cool it, and distribute it through ductwork using one of the following methods:
Heat Pump Integration – Transfers heat from outdoor air into the home during winter and reverses the process for summer cooling.
Hydronic Heating Coils – Uses hot water from a boiler circulated through a coil inside the air handler, combining boiler efficiency with forced-air comfort.
Electric heating systems can be an excellent choice depending on your home and energy availability:
A greener, more sustainable solution—especially when paired with a heat pump
Safer operation with no combustion, carbon monoxide, or venting required
Lower maintenance compared to gas systems
Higher operating costs possible in areas with expensive electricity if used without a heat pump
