    Is there a kit to convert a gas furnace to electric?
    I had a fellow tell me that there are kits you can buy to convert a gas furnace to a electric furnace. I have searched but had no luck finding info. This is not for a particular model just kind of a general "can a gas furnace be converted to use electricity?" question.
    Thanks

    Not really. You will end up with a non listed appliance. Better to just by the correct furnace to start with.

    I did not say there were not duct heater packages available but for the cost just buy a electric furnace.
