Gas vs. Electric Furnaces
Are you trying to choose between a gas and electric furnace? Consider these factors when weighing your options:
- Heat output: Gas furnaces typically heat the space faster than electric furnaces. But newer electric furnaces can still be effective, especially if you don’t live in an area with extreme cold. Overall, gas furnaces will deliver the strongest heat.
- Cost: The upfront cost of new gas furnaces is typically higher than that of electric furnaces. However, the cost of electricity is higher than that of gas, so a gas furnace is cheaper to operate.
- Safety: Many homeowners feel apprehensive about installing gas furnaces because gas systems combust fuel and produce carbon monoxide. An electric furnace can offer peace of mind, as they are the safer option. But with proper maintenance, there’s a fairly low risk of a carbon monoxide leak from your gas furnace.
- Lifespan: While gas furnaces have an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years, electric furnaces can last more than 20 years with proper maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are furnaces energy-efficient?
Why does my furnace keep shutting off?
How do you measure furnace efficiency?
Every furnace has an AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), which measures how efficiently it converts energy from its fuel source. This rating is found on the yellow Energy Guide label on your furnace.
All electric furnaces are 100% AFUE because there’s no combustion. For gas furnaces, the minimum is 81% AFUE, but at least 90% is ideal.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Your furnace can malfunction like any other piece of equipment in your home, and the repairs are usually straightforward. However, it’s best to opt for a replacement if getting a new unit is more cost-efficient.
The average furnace lasts 15 to 20 years; after that point, a system that needs repeat repairs should be replaced.
