A gas furnace can be generally better for your home compared to electric and oil.
- Gas is less expensive to operate.
Many gas heating systems are powered by natural gas and these costs have decreased. Electricity costs are always on the rise. Gas furnaces also help to heat our home more quickly. Our home gets warmer in a short amount of time. It takes three times as long for electric heaters to warm up the same space as gas. Gas also takes much less energy and burns cleaner than oil. My wife and I thought long and hard before we decided to convert from gas to oil. We had an oil furnace for 10 years. We looked up some information for oil to gas conversions. We found a plumbing and heating company in the area that could handle this type of change. We waited until September to make the changes. I didn’t want to make the changes when it was too hot outside, but I didn’t want to wait until it was cold either. September seems like the perfect time to make the changes. Of course, we had to work around the hurricanes. September is the high time of the year for hurricanes and we often have some type of tropical activity off the coast. We had one pretty big storm in the beginning of the month and then I called the plumbing company to set up the changes. We had another big storm and then I had the contractor come out to do the work. Now that the changes have been made, I can focus on the back porch.
