What is the most common type of heating system found in homes across the U.S.? That’s an easy one to answer: the furnace. Here in Northwest Vermont and Northeast New York they are especially helpful because of the immense heating power they provide to overcome our often harsh winters.
Because furnaces are so common, it’s easy to find HVAC contractors to work on them. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to find a good contractor. However, if you’re already on our website, you’ve cut out the hard part! Red Rock Mechanical, LLC is a great HVAC contractor with a long history in the Burlington, VT area working on many types of furnaces, both gas and electric.

You can reach us 24/7, and you’ll always receive a live person, not a recording.
Thank you for installing the furnace! So far, so good. This weekend will be the test!

Gas Furnace vs. Electric Furnace
Over their long history, furnaces have used many types of fuel, from wood and coal to liquid propane. However, the majority of residential furnaces today either run from natural gas or electricity. When it’s time for a furnace replacement or installation, which type should you choose?
- Gas furnace: This is the more common choice for homes, mostly because gas furnaces have immense heating power (enough to overcome even extremely drafty homes) and the cost of natural gas is lower than that of electricity. However, a home must have a gas line in order to use a gas furnace.
- Electric furnace: An electric furnace is a flexible alternative for heating homes that don’t have natural gas connections. There are a few other benefits that electric furnaces offer, such as longer lifespans and less expensive initial installations.
If you are having trouble choosing, don’t worry. Our installers will see that you end up with the exact right kind and size of furnace to meet your winter warmth needs. We specialize in energy efficient comfort systems.
