We have a 3 bedroom, 1200sq ft house built in the 1940's on a flat slab with a wall furnace and fireplace as the sole heat sources. The bedrooms do not get even heat, only the living room and kitchen when the furnace/fireplace are on. We are planning to upgrade to either forced air gas furnace with ductwork or electric heat through wall units or baseboards.
We plan to live here 2-3 more years and then use the house as a rental or sell. We've gotten estimates on the gas furnace and installation and are wondering if it makes more sense in our situation to go with the electric heat given we will not be in the house long term and may not make our money back.
Anyone have a sense what it costs to install electric heating in a house our size? Any opinions on which option is better economically? Many thanks.
