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.

What is the cost comparison between an electric furnace and a gas furnace?
The cost comparison between an electric furnace and a gas furnace typically shows that gas furnaces are more cost-effective in the long run due to lower operating costs.

Can you take a gas furnace that was converted to propane and reconvert it to electric?
There are a variety of gas furnaces that can without much effort be converted from one type of gas to the other, Natural gas and propane gasses work at different pressures; one gas is denser than the other.Converting gas to an electric furnace, you would be gutting almost the entire furnace, and replacing the gas components with electric heating coils, diodes and relays. This will take a lot of man-hours, fabrication, engineering, and parts. while not imposable, the conversion would be very expensive.
Can you still have base board hot water heat with gas or electric furnace?
Yes, you can have baseboard hot water heat with either a gas or electric furnace, as long as the furnace is compatible with a hydronic heating system. In this setup, the furnace heats water, which is then circulated through the baseboard units to provide warmth. Gas furnaces are more common for this purpose due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness, while electric furnaces can also be used but may result in higher energy costs.
