Riverside’s mild winters and ambitious clean-energy goals make electric heating an attractive choice for new builds and retrofits alike. Modern electric furnaces deliver steady comfort without the venting challenges of gas systems, and utility incentives often reduce upfront costs. Still, every project has unique load calculations, panel capacities, and ductwork quirks. That’s where CountBricks shines.
Traditional estimating can take days of phone calls and spreadsheet wrangling. CountBricks compresses the entire process into a real-time voice conversation. Our AI listens as you describe the scope—“2,100-sq-ft single-story, Riverside electric furnace, 15 kW, keep existing ducts”—and instantly builds a complete cost breakdown.
• Labor hours are matched to regional wage data in seconds
• Material line items pull live pricing from local suppliers
• Permitting fees are auto-calculated to Riverside’s current schedule
• A polished PDF proposal is ready before you hang up the phone

Load sizing – Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy, while undersized systems strain to keep up. CountBricks factors Riverside’s design temperature, insulation values, and window orientation to right-size every furnace.
Electrical capacity – Most homes need a breaker upgrade or sub-panel. The software flags amperage shortfalls so electricians can price their work accurately.
Duct condition – Leaky or undersized ducts can rob 30 % of delivered heat. CountBricks’ AI blueprint takeoff highlights duct runs that exceed recommended static pressure.
Rebates & inspections – Southern California Edison incentives and city inspection costs appear automatically in the estimate, keeping surprises off the homeowner’s invoice.

A 1958 ranch home needed to swap a failing 60 kBtu gas furnace for an all-electric model. Using CountBricks:
• Field tech captured dimensions with a 60-second voice call.
• AI flagged a 150 A panel upgrade and auto-inserted labor plus materials.
• Homeowner received a line-item quote 12 minutes after the initial call.
The project closed at 22 % higher margin than similar jobs estimated manually. See more wins at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

California’s Title 24 energy code is nudging many Riverside remodels toward full electrification—heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, EV chargers. Because CountBricks already catalogs every circuit, breaker, and BTU for the furnace scope, expanding your proposal is effortless.
• Heat pump water heater install can share the same sub-panel upgrade as the new furnace.
• Smart load centers track real-time usage, making rebate paperwork easier.
• Attic insulation topped up during furnace change-out qualifies for separate utility incentives.
1. While reviewing the furnace estimate, speak: “Add 50-gallon heat pump water heater, same mechanical room.”
2. AI recalculates load, adds labor, and updates the material list in seconds.
3. A revised quote appears, complete with incremental ROI charts your homeowner can understand.
• Jurupa Valley retrofit bundled a 12 kW furnace with attic insulation; contractor secured a $1,750 utility incentive that funded half the upgrade.
• Riverside downtown Victorian paired furnace replacement with EV charger rough-in; CountBricks’ single permit package cut city review time by 30 %.
Homeowners value one-stop solutions. Contractors value predictable margins. CountBricks aligns both by unifying every mechanical, electrical, and insulation task inside one AI-powered cost model. When your competitor is still copying numbers from a big-box flyer, you’ll already have a signed multi-trade contract.
