3 Reasons You May Opt for an Electric Furnace in Raleigh

Furnaces tend to come in one of two basic forms. Most people are familiar with gas furnaces, which use natural gas lit by burners to create heat. Electric furnaces are the other type: they rely on coils heated by electricity to warm your home. If you’re thinking about installing a new furnace, you need to weigh the pros and cons of each one carefully.  The right type for you depends on your home and current circumstances, but here are 3 reasons you may opt for an electric furnace. If you need any service for your furnace in Raleigh, give JD Service Now a call. 

  • They cost less to install. Electric furnaces use almost all the electricity they consume to heat your home. They also tend to be less expensive to install than gas furnaces. However, depending on the cost of gas and electricity in your area, they might cost more to heat your home. You should work out with your contractor what is the best decision for your unique situation.
  • They are safe and comfortable. Electric furnaces don’t burn a fuel, which means they don’t produce byproducts like carbon monoxide. They are both a clean and efficient way to heat your home.
  • Fewer repairs. Electric furnaces don’t have a lot of moving parts the way that gas furnaces do. That means they tend to break down less often, and require fewer repair calls than gas furnaces do. Accordingly, they tend to last longer than gas furnaces, giving you more service for the initial investment.

This doesn’t put gas furnaces out of the running , electric furnaces cost more to run every month and when repairs do come, they tend to be more expensive as well ,but it does give you some advantages to consider. For more reasons you may opt for an electric furnace, or to schedule an appointment for installation, contact the experts at JD Service Now. Pick up the phone and call us today if you need Raleigh furnace service!
