It depends on your gas and electric rates. We compare both at the free estimate using current utility rates so you get an honest answer.
Can I get rebates on either type?
Yes. Rebates are available for high-efficiency furnaces and for heat pump conversions. Amounts change often. We note current options at your estimate. Check smud.org or pge.com for the latest figures.
