11 Pros of Electric Furnaces

Electric furnaces coils and electricity to generate warmth for your residential or commercial property. The warm air is distributed through the ducts by a blower (fan).

Electric furnaces …

  • Are easier to maintain. (Regular professional HVAC maintenance – fall and spring – is important, but you can help by replacing filters and keeping the unit clean and dust-free.)
  • Are easier to repair. (But with proper maintenance, your furnace will last longer and need fewer repairs.)
  • Are more durable than gas.
  • Are quieter than gas.
  • Use components that are usually less expensive.
  • Eliminate the need for a gas line or oil or propane delivery.
  • Have more safety advantages. (Gas furnaces can release carbon monoxide and are more at-risk for combustion/explosion.)
  • Use parts that are easier to install.
  • Are usually less expensive to purchase new than gas.
  • Tend to last longer than gas (20+ years vs. gas furnaces’ 10+ years).
  • Use electricity, which is available everywhere in the U.S., while gas is not. Electricity prices tend to be more stable than other energy sources/fuel.

4 Cons of Electric Furnaces

Electric furnaces …

  • Are more complex, mechanically. You need a licensed HVAC professional to work with electricity for safety and knowledge.
  • Heat more slowly than gas. (It takes a bit longer for you to reach your warmth comfort zone.)
  • May be cheaper to buy, install, maintain, and repair, but cost more to run.
  • Tend to be less “versatile” when upgrading or adding components. Again, your local HVAC company can explain value-add vs. expense when considering modifications, such as adding a heat pump.
