    Simple. Just buy an electric furnace and have it properly wired up. There is no conversion available for gas to electric or electric to gas. You need to buy a brand new unit.

    I agree with twinkiedooter. Just buy an electric one and pay the higher electric rate as is customary in most areas of the country. Gas is a lot cheaper (natural gas that is)
