Man, the comments are brutal. I would agree with the idea that it is absolute BS to push to electric. But the point of the video was to educate on this type of furnace. The video did that very well. It presented information I didn't know, concisely. I will be sticking with my gas furnace, but I appreciate the time you spent to inform us! Well done!
electric furnace has its place. Not everyone has natural gas and propane is huge $$$$$ to run. Wood fire cheap but a lot of work and maintenance. Electric is pricey but a good alternative as back up for wood fire if you want to leave house for a few days and keep the pipes unfrozen. It has it's place and I like the unit you are showing. Thank you. I am an electrician and say the installation is less costly than a chimney and piping.
i mean, to each their own.... but i love having the ability to hook my gas furnace up to my generator and still having whole house heating... on the account gas furnaces dont take much electricity to run, biggest draw is the fan..
Your not wrong. But there is a push to electrify everything these days especially in our province of NL. I think everyone should be prepared for power failure and not stick all your eggs in one basket.
I agree completely with you. Governments are offering incentives for people to switch to electric but I don't think its wise to have all the eggs in one basket.
There are improvements over what was out years ago. The new stuff tends to be smarter and make better use of the electricity it burns. Years ago all the elements came on and now we have units like this granby that only turns on what it needs. Be step forward.

Sheet metal is hands down the worst trade ever.
That looks like the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen.
This whole push to electric appliances/cars while we're still getting the majority of it from oil doesn't seem well thought out.

He looks like he really has to pee.
Nothing new. They used to get made like this ages ago. Expensive to run junk then as it is now.
