The cost of gas propane around here is astronomical compared to a house that has an electric furnace range water heater.
Convert propane furnace to electric.
I curently have propane furnace stove and water heater.
I d rather drop 2500 over the course of the season.
The report finds that replacing oil and propane furnaces boilers and water heaters with high efficiency electric heat pumps.
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.
Does this make any sense to do at all.
I have no idea what a new furnace would cost plus the installation for it.
I am thinking about switching my furnace out at my house from propane to electric.
The cost of propane is crazy.
Moreover to maximize efficiency and energy use most propane furnaces today use an electronic ignition eliminating the need for a standing pilot light.
Not to mention you have to drop 2000 for the season up front on gas.
Has anyone done this and seen a benefit.
