I am in the process of changing a gas furnace to electric now. it seems like a long road so far.i have just completed gutting the gas furnace out completely. as far as i can tell you will need to purchase your heating element assembly and sheet metal to replace the metal taken out of the original unit. element assembly must be within 1 foot of the blower (fan) so the air it brings in will be blown through the element assy.
