Learn About the Pros and Cons of Gas and Electric Furnaces

Now that temperatures are dropping and the winter chill is fast approaching, you’ve probably already pulled out your family’s stowed-away comfy sweaters and traded in the lemonade for hot chocolate and marshmallows. 

It's a beautiful time of year, and there's nothing better than watching the season descend from inside of a warm, cozy home. So, in light of our changing temperatures, we decided it’s a good time to share some information for those thinking about upgrading their furnace in Woodinville and the surrounding areas. 

The question our clients routinely ask is this: is a gas furnace or an electric furnace better for my home and family? So to answer that, we’ve put together this guide to help you determine which solution is best for you and yours in Seattle and beyond. 

Let’s take a look at what that means when heating your home.

Gain peace of mind with a system that powers your home in the event of an emergency

In the winter of 2021, millions of people in Texas were left without access to electricity when the electric grid operator lost control of the power supply. Without power, homeowners were left with no way to communicate, keep themselves warm, or cook for several days. Generators quickly sold out, and for months afterward, the demand meant that buyers would not be able to receive their order until next year.

While the Washington power grid is not as vulnerable, it is still a lesson that it is better to prepare for an emergency before it happens. If the power were ever to go out due to extreme weather or another catastrophe, give your family peace of mind by having a generator on hand to run important systems like the furnace, refrigerator, and security system.
