If protecting the environment is important to you, don\u2019t wait until your natural gas heating system is old or broken before replacing it with an electric one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It takes up less room. <\/strong>An electrical furnace is smaller than a gas one. In addition, it doesn\u2019t require an oil tank and you don\u2019t need to spend money on delivery service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s easy to install and maintain. <\/strong>Electric furnaces can be connected to the same air ducts or hot water lines as your existing system, which simplifies the installation process. Plus, they require much less maintenance than a gas or wood heating system (no combustion or chimney to clean). All that\u2019s required is a professional inspection once every three years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It\u2019ll lower your insurance premiums. <\/strong>Do you want to reduce the cost of your home insurance? Converting to an electric heating system can earn you major discounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GET GOVERNMENT REBATES. <\/strong>Until December 31, 2020, programs such as <a href=\"https:\/\/transitionenergetique.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/residential\/programs\/chauffez-vert\">Chauffez vert<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/transitionenergetique.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/residential\/programs\/renoclimat\">R\u00e9noclimat<\/a> will offer financial assistance worth up to <strong>$2,275<\/strong>.
