What else can I help you with?
How do you identify an electric furnace from a gas furnace?
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
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. Gas furnaces have lower monthly utility bills compared to electric furnaces, which can result in significant savings over time. However, the initial cost of purchasing and installing a gas furnace is usually higher than that of an electric furnace.
What is the pur pose of Air handling unit?
A "gas furnace" is called a furnace, an "electric furnace" is called an Air Handler
Why furnace clicks loud once when it starts?
Because it has to produce an electric ark to ignite the gas that heats the furnace.
Gas and saving money?
Gas ovens do save more money than electric ovens. But the drawback to a gas oven versus electric is that you do not get even heat exchange with gas as you do with an electric oven.
Does a forced air furnace have a heat exchanger?
Yes,It depends if it is gas fired or electric.
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.
Whats the cost difference in running a natural gas furnace compared to an electric furnace?
This is a tricky question. Some homes may not have a gas line. Some cities may not allow gas furnaces and thus only electric is possible. Check with a local heating specialist for information.
What type of energy does a furnace use?
A furnace can be heated by fossil fuels like coal, coke, or natural gas, which is chemical energy or it can be electric.
Describe two methods of space heating?
Electric base board heater and gas furnace.
Is an electric furnace cost effective?
Electric furnaces can be cost effective in regions where electricity prices are low. However, they are generally more expensive to operate compared to gas furnaces in regions with higher electricity costs. It's important to consider upfront costs, operating costs, and efficiency when determining the overall cost-effectiveness of an electric furnace for your specific situation.
