During installation, you may be asking \u201cshould I get an electric or gas furnace?<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 Both systems feature their share of advantages.

Gas furnaces offer a singular advantage of cheaper month-to-month costs, since natural gas is cheaper than electricity. Repairs tend to cost less as well, since gas furnaces are more common and their replacement parts don\u2019t cost as much. Gas furnaces also take less time to warm the home than electric furnaces, which saves you even more in monthly bills. On the other hand, electric furnaces are usually less expensive to install initially, making them a smart choice if you don\u2019t want to spend a whole lot up front.<\/p>\n

In addition, electric furnaces tend to be a little quieter. Electric heat doesn\u2019t depend on a fan to blow air, which means it won\u2019t make nearly as much noise when it works. It also doesn\u2019t generate any drafty spots or cold spots, and it doesn\u2019t spread indoor air pollutants like pet dander and the like. Electric furnaces thus make a popular choice for residents who have allergies or who just need to maintain a higher air quality overall. Finally, because they don\u2019t use gas, electric furnaces can be a little safer, especially as they get older.<\/p>\n
