QUESTION:Ive got to put in a new furnace. I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada.
The quote for the gas furnace was $4300 about 1,000 bucks more then the
oil furnace.
Thing is, Ive got a new oil tank and a full tank of oil. Just bought
the house thus the tank and the oil. The oil would be a 85% efficient
model and the gas a 93% efficient model. House is about 1400 square
foot. Is gas any better to have then oil? Right now I believe the cost
of the fuels are basically the same.
What do people think. Oil or gas?
ANSWER: Even with fuel prices being equal I would still go with gas. The new gas
furnaces are almost maintainance free. Where any oil furnace still needs an
anual tune up to maintain it lower efficancy.
