Electric vs. Gas Furnaces
Electric and gas furnaces are common in the Charlotte area, and each has advantages and disadvantages.
Whether you have a gas or electric furnace, you can ensure that each system will adequately heat your home. Additionally, both units have a similar life span — if the furnace is kept in good condition, it can last you at least 15 years.
Gas furnaces heat your home faster because they are connected to a gas line rather than electric. They save money on your energy bill because they are not connected to your home’s electricity. Electric furnaces are typically cheaper and easier to install since they don’t have to be connected to a gas line.
Signs Your Electric Furnace Needs Repair
The last thing you want is to let your furnace malfunction until it hits a breaking point. Signs that you need to get your furnace repaired include:
- The system has a hard time turning on: If your furnace is struggling to turn on or you notice that it operates in short, choppy periods, it’s likely in need of repair.
- Your furnace can’t keep up with the outside temperatures: Feel like your home remains cold even though your furnace is running? Chances are that the system’s productivity has declined, and you need to have an expert inspect it.
- Foul odors coming from your furnace: While there are natural odors that come with a furnace, if you notice a strong, persisting smell, it would be wise to schedule an appointment to have it inspected.
- Unusual increase in electricity bill: If your electricity bill is higher than it should be, it might be traced back to your furnace. When a system malfunctions, it uses more electricity and raises your bill.

- Can my furnace run without an air filter?
Though a furnace will run without a filter, running your system without a filter for more than a couple of days will dangerously affect the air quality in your home and can cause issues for your unit.
- How often will I need to replace my furnace?
Every furnace is different, but a high-quality one should last 10 to 15 years. If you conduct annual maintenance and keep your unit in good shape, it could be 20 years before it needs to be replaced.
