Choosing between a gas vs electric furnace comes down to climate, budget, and priorities. Use these key points to guide your decision.

• Climate matters: Gas furnaces are best for cold climates since they heat quickly and efficiently. Electric furnaces work well in milder regions but can be costly in extreme cold.
• Upfront and installation costs: Electric furnaces are cheaper and easier to install. Gas units cost more and require ventilation, especially if switching systems.
• Maintenance and lifespan: Gas and electric systems need yearly inspections, but gas may require more tune ups and tend to have a slightly shorter lifespan.
• Safety: Electric furnaces don’t emit carbon monoxide, making them a very safe option. Gas furnaces are perfectly safe when properly maintained and installed with proper ventilation.

Homeowners tend to prefer gas for its impressive heating capabilities and lower long-term costs in cold climates. They prefer electric for its lower upfront costs and low maintenance in moderate regions. It’s imperative to take the frigid Minneapolis-St. Paul climate into consideration along with your needs and budget.

Gas furnaces are a popular choice for home heating due to their efficiency. When winter chills arrive, a gas furnace offers reliable comfort. Whether you need a new installation or a replacement, a dependable natural gas furnace is a great option.

Benefits of a Gas Furnace

While gas furnaces may be a bit “old-fashioned,” they still prove to be reliable devices that provide maximum comfort and keep your energy costs low. Before choosing your next heating system, learn how you can benefit from a new gas furnace in your home.

• Energy Efficiency: Gas furnaces stand out with their impressive energy efficiency ratings. Additionally, the affordability of natural gas as an energy source, compared to electricity or heating oils, leads to cost savings with every system operation.
• Power: Gas furnaces boast unbeatable heating power, capable of tackling even the coldest temperatures effectively. Their superior heating capacity ensures consistent warmth.

How do I know when I need a furnace replacement?

Furnaces do not subtly break down. If you need a furnace replacement, you will notice:

• Uneven Household Heating
• Odd Noises
• Higher Energy Bills

Call a technician to confirm your concerns and guide you through the process of replacement.

How long do furnaces last?

That depends on the type of furnace and your maintenance habits. A well-serviced electric furnace may have a lifespan of more than 15 years, while gas furnaces tend to only last between 10 and 15 years. Certain HVAC brands last longer, and your climate and your household conditions can also have an impact on lifespan.

When should I change the air filters in my furnace?

Depending on your type of furnace filter, typically they need to be replaced every 30-90 days, although the exact schedule may vary depending on your system and household conditions. Filter thickness typically ranges from 1 to 5 inches, and generally, thicker filters last longer and require less frequent replacement.

Here’s a quick guide:

• 1″ filters: Replace every 1–3 months
• 2″ filters: Replace every 1–3 months
• 4″ filters: Replace every 3-6 months
• 5″ filters: Replace every 6 months

How often should the furnace be serviced?

Your furnace should be serviced at least once a year. Regular tune ups help avoid costly repairs or breakdowns during the coldest parts of the year. Some furnaces also require regular servicing to adhere to warranty requirements.
