Benefits Gas Furances Have Over Electric

Gas furnaces offer several advantages over electric furnaces, including:


  1. Lower Operating Costs: In many regions, natural gas is cheaper than electricity, resulting in lower heating bills for homes equipped with gas furnaces.


  2. Faster Heating: Gas furnaces typically heat a home more quickly than electric furnaces, making them ideal for colder climates or larger spaces.


  3. 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.


  4. Consistent Heat Output: Gas furnaces provide a consistent heat output regardless of outdoor temperatures, ensuring reliable comfort even during extreme cold spells.


  5. 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.


  6. Longevity: Gas furnaces tend to have a longer lifespan than electric furnaces when properly maintained, potentially lasting 15-30 years or more.


  7. 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.


  8. 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.

We are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.

Our old water tank was installed in 1997. Wasn't working as well as it should so we looked into a tankless as it is more efficient and a space saver! we had used Twintech in the past for a furnace cleaning and were satisfied with that so we decided to ask for a quote for the changeover. Gary arrived and provided the options and the quote fit within our budget so we decide to go with them after receiving a few alternative quotes from other companies. They did what the said would be done and it was completed within a reasonable time frame! Removal and cleanup of the old tank was seamless. We are now enjoying consistent and efficient Hot water! I recommend Twintech and would use them for future projects!

by New AC Unit + Humidifier on Twintech Heating and Cooling

One of the most honest HVAC companies out there! Dave was very helpful and informative in helping us choose a new AC unit. While they weren’t the lowest quote, we went with them because we trusted Dave and he was the most honest guy out of the companies that quoted us.
Greg and his crew who installed the unit were very professional and did a great job. If I could do it over again I would choose Twintech again.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Relocated and replaced our air conditioning unit. Fast, professional, and high quality service. We would definitely use them again for future projects!
