Electric or gas Furnaces?
If you’re in need of a furnace replacement in Kansas City, you may be wondering whether you should get an electric or gas furnace. There are a number of factors you need to take into consideration.
Electric Furnaces
An electric furnace serves as an ideal alternative to the natural gas furnace. While natural gas furnaces are far more common, they are not the best system for every home. If your home cannot be modified to accommodate a gas line for your home heating use, an electric furnace is the next best thing. In fact, some homeowners prefer an electric model because they are considered to be safer, and they require less maintenance through the years.
Installing a new electric furnace is always a job for a professional. Any electric furnace installation involves thorough knowledge of the HVAC industry, a selection of tools and equipment, and some careful calculations. If the furnace is too large, it will consume a lot of energy, and if it is too small, it can never fully heat up your home and may become overworked too soon. Technicians work to prevent these possibilities and make sure it is installed with accuracy.
And a professional can also help you to pick out the most efficient system available to your home. As a general rule, electricity is more costly than natural gas. This means that an electric heater will cost more to run. However, today’s models are more efficient than they were in the past. Electric furnaces carry high AFUE (annual fuel utilization efficiency) ratings and generally need fewer repairs than gas models. A technician can help you find a system that may cost less to run and maintain than you would expect.
Electric furnaces are fairly low maintenance, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call on a technician for annual service. A routine maintenance visit keeps everything in top shape and allows your unit to run at peak efficiency. Technicians can also detect whether your unit is in need of repair so that you can schedule services sooner rather than later, when a sudden breakdown leaves you without any heat at all.
Look out for any signs that you need electric furnace repair, including cooler temperatures and noisy operation. Don’t put off calling for repair for too long. In most cases, it costs more to repair or replace a broken-down unit than one that is still running to some degree.
Electric furnace repair and maintenance help keep your unit running smoothly, but only if you schedule service with a trained professional. Many heating professionals are inexperienced with electric furnaces, but our NATE–certified have experience with both gas and electric units. Count on our team for quality electric furnace installation, repair, or maintenance in Kansas City, MO.
Gas Furnaces
The gas furnace is the most common type of heating system installed in the United States. Modern systems are highly efficient, and the cost of installation is less than with other whole-home heating units as long as you have a good set of ducts in place. And today’s units are some of the safest gas heating systems around.
Long ago, there was some concern over whether gas furnace installation was safe. Along with a gas heating system comes the potential for gas leaks or even carbon monoxide poisoning, but this is highly unlikely with modern units. Modern gas heating systems contain many safety switches which make gas leaks nearly impossible in some cases. Furthermore, ventilation systems and heat exchangers are tightly sealed so that carbon monoxide cannot get into your home. Unfortunately, this is never a guarantee, which is why you should select professionals for installation and regular maintenance.
Gas furnace installation is an ideal choice for home heating. And while there are many different systems you can choose from for gas furnace replacement, we often recommend installing a similar high–efficiency unit. These units are more reliable than they’ve ever been, and gas furnaces cost little to run from month to month. And since your home is already set up for this type of unit, gas furnace replacement should not require any time–consuming renovations.
A gas furnace can only run properly if you schedule repairs as soon as you notice a problem. Gas furnace repair becomes necessary when temperatures drop, the unit short cycles, operation becomes noisy, or if you notice anything unusual from the system. And our NATE–certified technicians are best suited for the job, as they’ve been through years of training and thorough testing to earn their certifications.
Maintaining your gas furnace is just as important as scheduling prompt repairs. First, you should make sure to change the furnace filter regularly or clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Equally as important is scheduling regular gas furnace maintenance visits from a member of our trained staff. Our technicians will clean and adjust parts that could cause trouble if they are not in top shape. And they will also inspect the unit and keep you informed if anything seems off.
