Here are a few things to bear in mind when shopping around for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/furnaces.html\">furnaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost\"><\/span>Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/buying-new-furnace-gas-v-electric-furnace-2-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"Buying an Electric Furnace\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/buying-new-furnace-gas-v-electric-furnace-2-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/buying-new-furnace-gas-v-electric-furnace-2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is the major deciding factor for many homeowners. Choosing between a gas furnace and an electric furnace will depend largely on how much you are willing and able to spend.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gas furnaces are usually a bit more expensive to install. For this reason, many homeowners stay away from them.<\/li>\n<li>Electric furnaces, on the other hand, are cheaper to install. However, the cost of operating them is much higher as compared to gas furnaces, as they tend to use up more energy bringing your utility bills higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lifespan\"><\/span>Lifespan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You certainly want to buy a furnace that will last. Gas furnaces tend to work well for around 10 years before they are in constant need for repairs. Electric furnaces last a bit longer than this, usually 15 to 20 years. In both cases, you can extend the lifespan a bit by ensuring regular maintenance of the furnace.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comfort\"><\/span>Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When comparing gas and electric furnaces, there is a huge difference when it comes to the comfort provided by each.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electric furnaces will use up a lot of energy and will undoubtedly be enough to provide warmth to your house.<\/li>\n<li>Gas furnaces, on the other hand, perform much better when it comes to comfort. They will raise your home&rsquo;s temperatures faster and easier with less effort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gas_Furnaces_or_Electric_Furnaces_Which_One_Do_You_Choose\"><\/span>Gas Furnaces or Electric Furnaces: Which One Do You Choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, this decision will depend on your budget, the size of your home, and personal preferences. Although electric furnaces can be more efficient, they use electricity, which can be costlier, and you will have to think of an alternative in case of a power outage. Gas furnaces are much more convenient since they burn cleaner than oil and are cheaper than electric furnaces to operate. Gas is also inexpensive and readily available for many St. Louis homeowners.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help deciding what furnace is best for your St. Louis area home, Galmiche &amp; Sons is more than happy to help you make the decision between gas and electric furnaces.
