If you are shopping for a gas furnace you may want to go with one that has a high afue rating between 90 and 98 5 as these will save you the most money in the long run although the units themselves may be slightly more expensive upfront.
Convert propane furnace to electric.
I curently have propane furnace stove and water heater.
I am thinking about switching my furnace out at my house from propane to electric.
Today central air propane furnaces are available with annual fuel utilization efficiency afue ratings as high as 97 meaning these units are highly efficient at converting fuel into heat.
The report finds that replacing oil and propane furnaces boilers and water heaters with high efficiency electric heat pumps.
Does this make any sense to do at all.
I d rather drop 2500 over the course of the season.
Has anyone done this and seen a benefit.
The cost of gas propane around here is astronomical compared to a house that has an electric furnace range water heater.
I have no idea what a new furnace would cost plus the installation for it.
Not to mention you have to drop 2000 for the season up front on gas.
Propane and natural gas furnaces are by and large cheaper to operate than electric and oil powered furnaces.
