I want to convert my gas furnace to electric How much exactly will this cost me and will it be worth it? My gas company is price gouging me and I can't afford it any more, is electric heat cheaper than gas?:confused:

As far as I know you just can't "convert" a gas furnace to an electric one. You will have to replace the entire unit with an electric one.

yep

1st remove the gas furnace
2nd install a electric furnace
the make sures
make sure before you start that your breaker/power box can handle the electric furnace/air handler
make sure you get several 2 0r 3 differant estimates
make sure they know what they are doing
make sure the installer does good work the install is very important

goodluck,,,,,,let us know how it works out
around here ,we just got a notice that the power company wants a 45% price increase

Consider replacing your air conditioner with a heat pump. This "hybrid" arrangement will give you the option of using the most cost-effective energy source.

As mentioned there is no such thing as conversion in this case, just replacement. If you're cool with that post your utility costs including taxes and I can reply with some operating cost comparisons.
