Heating choices
Gas vs. Electric Furnaces
The right heating type often depends on the utilities already serving your home, local energy prices, climate, and available electrical capacity.
Gas furnaces
Gas systems deliver strong heat and require safe fuel piping, combustion air, and venting.
Electric furnaces
Electric equipment can be simpler mechanically but may require substantial electrical capacity and have different operating costs.
Consider alternatives
In some climates, a heat pump or dual-fuel system may also be worth comparing.
