That will depend on the cost (and availability) of gas in your area, when compared to electric costs. It will also depend on the climate. At very cold temperatures (below 40 F) the heat transfer element of an air/Freon heat pump does not deliver heat, and the less efficient electric heat kicks in. In a climate that has long periods of below-freezing temps, a gas furnace may be more economical to operate.

Your location matters. If in Florida heat pump in more northern climes furnace & ac.

If you mean an electric furnace then normally it is nichrome. a heating element in a heat strip is made of what type of wire
The energy source is the same as for heating anything. Gas,Electricity, Burning any fossil fuel. in a boiler (furnace) with water running in heat exchanging coils or manifolds. When heat is needed a pump circulates the hot water through the radiators and back to the furness.
It depends on what type of heating system you want to install. Heat pumps range from $3000 to $12000. Alot of it depends on the size of your home.
