Gas Furnaces vs. Oil Furnaces

The two main types of furnaces you can purchase are oil and gas and there are benefits and drawbacks to each. One advantage of purchasing a gas furnace is that they’re more efficient than oil furnaces.


Oil furnaces are typically less expensive to install compared to gas furnaces; however, when it comes to fuel costs, gas furnaces are cheaper.


Because you don’t have to purchase oil annually for gas furnaces as you do with oil furnaces, one of their biggest benefits is that they’re cheaper to power. Gas furnaces are powered by natural gas, so you’ll have to have a gas line run into your home if there isn’t one already available.


Regardless of which type of furnace you use to heat your home, you can rest easy knowing that you’re using a reliable heating unit.


At The Witmer Company, we understand the importance of keeping your family comfortable during the colder months of winter. If you’re having problems with your furnace and are in need of a repair, or if you’re looking to get a new furnace installed, give us a call.

Furnace Service FAQ

  • What can cause a furnace to stop working?

    Furnaces are quite complex, and many problems can cause them to stop working. Clogged air filters and malfunctioning thermostats are common problems.


    However, if neither of those is the problem, you may have a more serious issue, like:

    • A cracked heat exchanger
    • A dirty flame sensor
    • A problem with the pilot light
    • Dirty burners
    • Other mechanical problems

    The best way to get to the bottom of the problem is to contact a qualified HVAC professional to assess your system.

  • Does my furnace need maintenance?

    Yes, we recommend an annual maintenance appointment every fall before the heating season.


    A furnace needs to be maintained to reduce the risk of system breakdowns and operate at optimal efficiency so you don’t waste excess money on utility bills.

  • Should I repair or replace my furnace?

    When your furnace breaks down, consider its age. If it is 15 or more years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Another reason to consider a replacement regardless of system age is if the cost to repair is equal to half of the cost of a new one.


    You should likely opt for a repair if your system is only a few years old, and this is one of the first times its suffered a malfunction.

  • Can I install my furnace myself?

    Because furnaces are such complex systems, they require installation from a qualified, licensed professional. Whether you have a gas or electric furnace, there are too many things that can go wrong and put your house at risk without professional service, such as electrical fire and carbon monoxide leaks.


    Even if you don’t injure yourself or your family during the process, DIY installation often leads to inefficient operation.
