We finally decided to purchase an electric furnace, and I am honestly not sure if we made the right decision.
I have lived in this house for a long time, and during the entire time that I was living in this house, we had a gas furnace that always kept me warm. Everyone knows that gas furnaces are a lot better than electric furnaces. First of all, gas furnaces are a lot cheaper than electric furnaces. Even though electric furnaces are technically more efficient than gas furnaces because electric furnaces don’t need an exhaust, it is actually more expensive to use an electric furnace. However, I understand why people wouldn’t want a gas furnace. When you have a gas furnace, that also means that you have to have a steady supply of natural gas for your house. That means that you will get an extra bill every month because of your heating system. If you aren’t great at keeping track of bills, then you might want an electric furnace. Gas furnaces are also more expensive at first even though they will save you money in the long run. The only reason that my wife wanted an electric furnace was that she was afraid of the natural gas leaking and causing us to die. We waited until our old gas furnace stopped working and replaced it with an electric furnace. She is happy, but if I am honest, then I will admit that I miss my old gas furnace. The electric furnace isn’t the same, and it has increased our bills even though we only have one now.
