Benefits Gas Furances Have Over Electric
Posted On: February 2, 2024
Gas furnaces offer several advantages over electric furnaces, including:
-
Lower Operating Costs: In many regions, natural gas is cheaper than electricity, resulting in lower heating bills for homes equipped with gas furnaces.
-
Faster Heating: Gas furnaces typically heat a home more quickly than electric furnaces, making them ideal for colder climates or larger spaces.
-
High Efficiency: Gas furnaces can achieve high efficiency ratings, often exceeding 90%, which means they convert a higher percentage of the energy they consume into heat compared to electric furnaces.
-
Consistent Heat Output: Gas furnaces provide a consistent heat output regardless of outdoor temperatures, ensuring reliable comfort even during extreme cold spells.
-
Independence from Power Grid: Gas furnaces do not rely on electricity to operate, except for some components like the blower motor. This means they can still provide heat during power outages, unlike electric furnaces which require a functioning electrical grid.
-
Longevity: Gas furnaces tend to have a longer lifespan than electric furnaces when properly maintained, potentially lasting 15-30 years or more.
-
Environmental Impact: While natural gas is a fossil fuel and produces carbon emissions when burned, modern gas furnaces can be more environmentally friendly than electric furnaces in regions where electricity is generated primarily from fossil fuels.
-
Zoning Capabilities: Gas furnaces can be easily integrated with zoning systems, allowing different areas of the home to be heated independently for greater energy efficiency and customized comfort.
It's important to note that the advantages of gas furnaces may vary depending on factors such as local energy prices, climate, and the efficiency of the specific furnace model. Additionally, considerations regarding safety, installation costs, and availability of natural gas infrastructure should also be taken into account when choosing between gas and electric heating systems.

Dave was great in helping me get the proper units for my property, as well as getting them installed. The installers arrived when they said they would, and completed the project on time, and professionally. If I needed another furnace, I would use Dave again.

I have known Greg and Grant Dainty for many years and have used their company for my house and business. I recommended them also for my parents and sister and they all have been very satisfied with the quality of work for a reasonable price. I just recently had them install a new HVAC system in an older house and was very pleased with their work. Craig in Pickering. After meeting with various heating and air conditioning contractors I was referred to Twin Tech Heating and Cooling through a family member. Greg and Grant arrived at my home and provided me with an estimate and a plan as to how they were going to remove and replace my furnace and air conditioner. On the day of install Greg and Grant arrived at my home on time and were very professional and extremely courteous as to any questions or concerns that I had. The removal and install was truly professional and the attention to detail was exactly what I was looking for. Ive seen many installs from other contractors and I couldnt be any happier to have had such a clean looking install. The sheet metal work, ducting and venting all look fantastic. Upon completion Greg and Grant left me feeling extremely happy and very fortunate of a job well done. Thanks again Twin Tech!!

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
